Thank you,

Although I'm nowhere close to becoming "almost a dad" your writing and highlights are informative and hilarious. I'll definitely be coming back to this... in the far, far future.

This post, on how to deal with pregnant women, was nominated by one of our readers at GNMParents - Congrats, and good luck in the voting!!

Bill, words cannot describe how your (or you and your team what-ever the case may be) site has become my own "Father-to-be" safe haven. Just when I think I'm about to lose it from the constant barrage that is the Pregnant woman; I log on to the site and read some of the other cases and quickly realize that I really don't have it all that bad lol. To all the Fathers to be out there, good luck (you're gonna need it) and please don't hesitate to recommend this site to any of your friends that are or may becoming a father. Many thanks, and keep up the good work!!

Phaticus (just about to clear the first Trimester YAY!!) haha

Hey Phaticus,

Thanks for the good words and glad to hear that it helps, that's exactly what I was hoping for!

Also, congrats on passing the first trimester! The second trimester does get a bit easier (usually).

If you have any suggestions for posts that you think would help others, feel free to let me know and I can flesh it out into a post. Many guys may like to hear about different things that I may not have touched on completely.

Hang in there and good luck to all expecting dads!

Bill

O.K... so now my girlfriend is 14 weeks and just beginning the second trimester... slight miscalculation there lol... and YAY I'm still alive!!

Me and my girl friend have been together since last july and she is now 9 weeks pregnant. It was a pleasant surprize for me because I really do love her and am very excited that we are having a kid. Unfortunatly we were not prepared for it, I had been out of work for almost a month after a job offer I took up that did not work out. I have resently agreed to move with her in with her mom. I currently have a pretty desent job where I have been putting in alot of hours trying to get the money together for us to get our own place. We have been disagreeing alot this last week and last Sunday after work I went to the company Christmas party that I invited her to and she refused to go. I had a couple beers after workinh a 10 hour shift and decided to call her and let her know that I was gonna take a nap before driving home. She freaked out and drove down with her mom to pick me up and refused to talk to me till the next day when she told me that she did not love me any more and she was threw with me. I have heard that this might be kinda common, but I was hoping that you could give me a straight answer. I am really in love with her and really want to get everything worked out with her if I possibly can.

I absolutely love your blog. It's not too often that you hear about pregnancy from a man's point of view. Not only are you funny, but you are clearly affectionate towards your wife and respectful (of her hormones at least). I can't wait until your next post. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to pee. :)

Everything has really started to finally mellow out between us which I am gratful for. Now we just have to get out of her moms house and into our own house. I can't wait

Well that must really be hard for you, I know that would drive me crazy. I never know what it is that I am commin home to, here latly it's been nice she is either sleeping or has been very pleasent to be around. She denies it but I think that living with her and sister sometimes takes its toll on her. I don't denie it, it drives me crazy, but she knows that. I have a feeling that everything will get alot smoother once we move out which will hopefully be soon. I just can't wait

hey i just found out i was going to be a father like 1 month ago, 2 months ago she had been pregnant but didn't know. a week into two months ago she decided to break up for the moment because she didn't feel like having a relationship, with any guy at the moment. and now he we are today, she still says we aren't together, but i let her know that i'm still going to always be there for the child. what should i do? Is there anything i could do to bring her back to me?

Hi Edward,

Sorry to hear about your situation. My main advice would just be to be as patient as possible. Just be there, be available, and help without trying to bridge the gap between the two of you. Show her that you'll be there for the kids regardless of what happens between the two of you.

It could very well just be hormones, which is exactly why you shouldn't try and force anything. Just hang in there, and even if you don't get back together, be there for the kids. Good luck and I hope everything works out for you!

so then even when she starts saying, OH i like MEAN people, i miss Michael( which is this abusive guy she went out with for 4 years, literally abusive). are those all hormones? cause I've heard of pregnant women actually hating their husbands or boyfriends.
