Pregnancy is a difficult period and a time when women need proper care and encouraging compliments about how they look.
As a man, be wise when addressing your wife on matters pertaining her pregnancy; there are words she wouldn't want to hear at this time. These include;
1. You look tired and worn out
A pregnant woman will probably look tired, sick and miserable and she knows that so you don't need to remind her of this.
In fact, this is the time you should tell her how pretty she looks with that baby bump.
Telling her about how tired and exhausted she looks will only mean that she is not attractive anymore.
Giver her positive compliments.
2. Sleep now because you'll never sleep again
Especially for the new mothers, this is so discouraging.
She already has a clue that newborn babies are stubborn and need a lot of attention.
According to her, these words will mean 'live your life now because few days to come it will suck'.
She'll conclude that you are not impressed by the fact that she has a baby for you and you are not ready to help her when the baby finally comes.
3. Are you sure they aren't twins?
Although this cannot be so hurting, a pregnant woman with the mood swings associated with pregnancy will interpret this as 'is my stomach too big?' 'Is he telling me that indirectly?'
Avoid this, instead find a better way of trying to tell her that she might be carrying twins.
During pregnancy, women are moody and sensitive. All they need at this time are positive compliments about their appearance.
