Even if a couple is consciously preparing for the birth of a child, pregnancy is not the best period in a woman's life. Or at least remember 10 phrases that pregnant women should not say.
10. Wow! What a waist your girlfriend has!
Never compliment other women in the presence of a pregnant wife. If you note the perfect forms of her friend, TV star or just a passing woman, a scandal is guaranteed. The girl is worried that from a slender beauty she turned into a hippo. And here you are with your compliments intended not for her. Do not compare it with other women, try not to focus on appearance at all. You probably don’t worry how you will look in a year, and your wife, having hardly seen a positive pregnancy test, said goodbye to her perfect forms. By the way, get ready for the fact that after giving birth your wife can become a dummy. Not everyone is able to quickly return to their previous weight.
9. Think - it makes you sick!
If your spouse is ill, do not try to cheer her up with these phrases: “If you think, it makes you sick. Drink some water. I also felt sick last Sunday when I went over with alcohol. I’m not dead. ” Many girls find it physically difficult, some cannot stand the smell of fried chicken or cigarettes, others cannot even eat, food asks for it back. At such moments, take care of her, lay her on the sofa, cover with a plaid, hold her hand and say that you love him very much. Never speak of other women. Let your mother work during the whole pregnancy at the factory, and your grandmother work at the collective farm and give birth in the field, do not put them as an example. The best you can do is sympathize.
8. And who will wash the floors?
You, of course, understand that the larger your wife’s stomach is, the harder it is for her to keep her house clean. If you are worried about the mess, do not tell the girl what she needs to do. Take a broom, a rag ... do you even know what a broom is for? Many men do not relate to household chores, consider this a female job. Again, if you live in a city apartment, there is simply no male work here. You do not need to heat the stove, prepare firewood, clean the tracks from snow, dig the garden. Therefore, you may well take on the performance of some household duties. If you clean the apartment - below your dignity, then hire a housekeeper or just keep quiet.
7. Try to give birth to a boy!
Every man dreams of a son. Just do not have to talk about it with his wife every day. Even if you beg her for an heir, she will no longer be able to affect the gender of the child. By the way, do you know that the sex of the child depends only on the father? Rejoice that fate has given you the opportunity to raise a child. Some couples fail to have a baby, they have been treated for years, travel to holy places. They would be happy for both the girl and the boy. And your wife might think that if a girl is born, you will be unhappy, stop loving her, leave her with a baby in her arms. What, what, but women are able to fantasize. Do not forget that pregnant women are very impressionable.
6. Can you wait with your contractions?
If your wife felt something vaguely reminiscent of a fight, do not tell her: “Honey, let me watch the football, and then we will go to the hospital.” Drop everything and to the hospital. Sometimes birth can be rapid. It is better not to leave her alone in the later stages, it is not known what could happen. If in the maternity hospital she was told that the contractions were false and sent home, then do not sigh disappointedly and reproach her. If your wife is pregnant for the first time, she probably doesn’t know how the birth begins.
5. Listen, we were invited to a party ... Maybe I'm going alone?
If your girlfriend is pregnant, you can forget about fun. Campaigns in cafes and clubs, nightly sessions, meetings with friends and alcohol are all in the past. “I'm not pregnant,” most men will object. Yes, you are not pregnant, but perhaps your wife would also like to dance and drink a couple of glasses of wine, have some fun. Therefore, it is better not to remind her of past entertainment. If possible, stay at home or go to places where she will feel comfortable. Of course, you don’t have to stay at home, but instead of a club, choose a non-smoking room in the most peaceful cafe in the city.
4. I do not understand - are you swollen or fat?
Do not remind her of her appearance. Excess weight, big belly, swelling. Let your girl now not look like that pretty girl who drove you crazy, but she is. Do not tell her that she looks bad. Give compliments, praise her. Of course, not all pregnant women look bad, some even get pregnant. In any case, do not point out the flaws and more often tell her that she is very prettier.
3. When will I have normal sex?
The topic of sex is now a taboo. Some couples deal with them throughout their pregnancy, but doctors recommend not getting carried away, especially if there are complications. Do not complain to your wife that you can’t wait for her to give birth and you will have normal sex. We may disappoint you, but you will not have it for a long time. When the baby is born, all the attention of the wife will be directed to him. And you, most likely, will dream not of sex, but of a complete sleep without breaks on motion sickness. If you have already decided to have a baby, be prepared for the fact that your life will radically change. Will have to sacrifice their interests.
2. I said - let's call Vasya!
That's when the most powerful debate begins. It is when parents try to choose a name for the child. Many men do not take into account the opinion of the wife. They believe that everyone should obey them and the man himself has the right to choose a name for his child. Still, you need to come to such an option that will suit both. Even if you’re tired of discussing the same names every night, don’t dismiss your wife’s questions. This is very important for her. Patience is what you have to stock up in the next 3 years for sure.
1. Will everything be all right with the child?
Questions of this nature are prohibited. You should never show your pregnant wife that you cannot find a place for yourself, worry about her and the baby. If something goes wrong, you must support it. But do not rush to extremes, do not pretend that you do not care about the child and the wife. Just keep calm in any situation. Life is unpredictable, it is not known what will happen tomorrow. Think positively, be sure, surround with care and attention the wife and the unborn child. Yes, yes, do what your beloved asks for, talk to her belly, because it has long been proven that a child at a certain time begins to distinguish between the voices of his parents.
