I've tried everything, sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. These are great tips but watch out, pregnant women sometimes just can't be consoled. As long as they know you're always there when you need them you're on the right track.

I'm 5 weeks pregnant with my second child, (different father). I will be directing him to this site, and highlighting all the stuff I want him to absorb into his head. Which is pretty much all of it. The 10 tips are fantastic! Your wife is certainly a very lucky woman.

This blog is possibly the most helpful thing I have ever stumbled across on the internet. I'm going to print myself a copy (obviously hide it) and hopefully reap the benefit, I'm in a similar position to Paul and I think that the man's emotions and struggles at this time are not well represented enough. Thankyou 'Almost a Dad' you're my saviour!

Thanks for the tips i'll try and give them a go as I can't take any more. Work is stressful and then when I get home I am treated like I am worthless, meaningless and irrelevant. Massive mood swings, hates me touching her, won't give me eye contact, won't smile when I get home from work. It's really, really getting too much and am probably going to explode very soon

The BEST thing I found to make my wife feel better when she was pregnant was a body pillow. Starting at around 14 weeks she was having real trouble sleeping and she was taking it out on me!

I gave her the body pillow and wow, what a difference it made. She started sleeping soundly and waking up much less often, and she'd wake up without back aches and other pains. She still swears to this day it's the best money we ever spent. I might agree just because it made her much happier (read - less rawr in my direction)!

I am amazed at how thoughtful and understanding you've been during your time with a pregnant wife. The fact that you have an entire blog, and that you take the time to research about women is commendable! I am currently 37 wks and I can relate to so much here...I just wish my husband spent as much time researching pregnancy as he does work. I look forward to reading more of your blog! I need inspiration...and the comment about an open ear is so true...pregnant women have lots of anxiety.

Good suggestions and I'll try just about all of them right now because my 35-week pregnant wife just stormed out of the house. We were supposed to go together to a baby store about 20 miles away but she basically got up and left. It all started when she made a smart comment about not getting her a back massager (there's good reason for that -- she's never liked any of the massage products I have ever given her). After mentioning that I have been doing a lot for her, I slipped up by saying I don't need to keep helping her if I'm just going to be slapped around constantly (a hollow threat indeed). Obviously she didn't take that comment well. Now I'm sitting here reading your blog for the first time after typing "dealing with pregnant women" into Google.

I've found that talking seems to work best. The more we talk, the better she feels. Well, that and exercising with her.
