Reading thru all these I have only one thing to say: Where is my wife let me practice all I've learnt here? I remember my elder bros going thru all these with his wife. I can't wait to experience these too. Long story short: I want to be a FATHER!!! |

rokiatu: One of my biggest fear of pregnancy is how some husbands and men in general neglet their women while they are pregnant. I thought I had start a thread just to ask women who have been thru pregnancy, when you were expecting, was your significant other supportive of you? As in loving, caring, and so on.so you losed the "war",rite?don't worry,he'll treat you well |

sookoo: @Analytical Thanks man. You need to see that woman adore me like a king! Of course I don't expect less because I treat her like a queen she is! You make me remember those poems I scattered her brain with so many years ago- specially written for her. I think I need to fetch them out or better still go into that mode again. Na work and huzzles no dey gree man compose again o! Thanks again. 1 Like |

I've always thought that when that time came, i'd go with her to the ward or wherever it is they harvest the babies, stand at her side, hold her hand. I'd close my eyes and feel every nerve tremble, every vein bulge. Experience every tide of pain that sweeps through her body in my mind's eye.... That way, I'd be sufficiently equipped to tease her about the whining and squirming all the days of our lives without fear of the usual ''you don't know what it's like'' rebuttal.  Now i know different. Or do i? |

How supportive were they when they were making the baby that's d question |

Seriously that was d most challenging part of a man's life towards his wife. Actually, I did d laundry, each time we go shopping, I move d cart and follow her wherever she goes and u know how boring that is . I was present at d labour room when she delivered of a baby. Seriously, I was the one preparing d meal when she was 8months till she gave birth. It was really an adventure to me. . |

@ Analytical, you are my kind, I am proud to know there are opposites of women abusers still around. My sweetheart just clocked 22 weeks on Wednesday with our first baby. To be very candid, God helped that I anticipated her pregnancy with excitement for the 8 months we waited before we wanted to start making babies. Then I would always boast and tell her that her time to do all the shakara, tantrums and wahala she wanted would be her pregnancy days, little did I know I was asking for big trouble  . Can you guys belive that my wife did her last cooking the day she showed me the pregnancy test? . Neways, we fathers need to have something to boast with when the Mum's go like "I carried you in this stomach for 9 solid years!" Lol. Its so much fun to have a privilege to show some love to our spouses in a way they cannot reciprocate it. All my wife has to do is pick her fone and call me from one room and tell me she needs me help her grab a nearby pillow, roll her eyes and tell me "thank you, you can go now" after it is done and feel good with herself. You ladies eh! Enjoying the thread (y). 5 Likes |

@cyril83 No one is saying you should leave your job and start caring for your woman full time. what people are sharing is stories of considerate men who though busy with their day to day activities still have little time for their wives.there's nothing posted here that's far fetched. Its what you can do. |

Mine was very supportive...d notion i ad b4 i got preggers was that the woman would become so irritating to the man,he wldnt wanna be seen with you in public,he might even stop sharing the same bedroom with you and really treat you bad. Well I'm glad to say i was wrong! Up till the day i put to made he was soooooo sweet to me,he made me feel very sexy and hawt tru his words and actions.he always begged to see me without ma clothes on,bathed with me,tell me things dat sure makes a woman feel ontop of the world.i tut pregnancy wld kill our sex life as a woman obviously bcomes less sexy and attractive,just looking like a round ball buh once again i was wrong. I could go on and on. The dude was so good. The whole experoence made me love him more and it didn't matter dat he was der with me during labor. |

Mine was never supportive. Despite knowing how to cook or do chore; he simply believe its a woman job to get pregnant and cope at the same time. Thank God for Housekeeper and my kid sister helping me to cook my favourite efo soko and roasted fish with only pepper (no, onions, no maggi, no nothing; just pepper, salt and fish). Even the day I put to bed, he was so scare that he didn't know what to do, I had to take charge till my mum's arrival.  Thank God we still have men that are supportive  |

wait is it EVERY WOMAN that must go through all these crap? i have seen quite a few women in close quarters whilst preggies and they were not giving nobody all this rubbish stress other than the odd cravings for weird food. spitting all over, vomiting ish, back is are all normal i know but which one is vomiting/spitting on the dining table during dinner, dem nor dey sell tissue for market again? if half the stories here are true, which i think not but are rather embellished to "shine", then u pple got a few screws loose. this is y my wife will spend the entire duration of her 1st belle in her mothers house and i will go visiting 4 times a week. nonsense. na all these spoilt women and ibo gals go dey follow u do all these one na, u don see aboki wife dey try all this one? or na mama ramota na im go say becos she get belle make her husband life dey unbearable? she go go inconvenience her papa first..  mcheew |

What some of you doubtful men should understand is that different women show different reactions during pregnancy. Some have morning sicknesses while some do not; some have cravings while some don't. Some become very tired and lie down most times, some are hyperactive. So different strokes for different folks. Whichever traits your wife exhibit, deal with it in the most affectionate way you can since it is what you deposited in her that she is carrying. |

He once told me he could live with any kind of woman, I thought he was just making mouth but after all these years I believe him wholeheartedly. Was I a nag? A pain in the azz? Yes and did he put up with all that? Absolutely well. |
| Re: How Supportive Was Your Significant Other While You Were Pregnant? by Nobody: 7:41am On Apr 28, 2012 |
I enjoyed my wife when she was pregnant as I had no younger one to take care of. I learnt to do without those sumptuous meals she used to cook before getting pregnant. Sometimes, I soaked garri at night with suya especially in her third trimester but ensured she ate some good food. I was with her in the labour room when my baby girl came and felt like crying (though didn't) when I saw live what women go through putting to bed. It's not easy o. In fact, any man that witnesses that and still treats his wife badly needs his head examined. Today, when she does anything that offends me, I remember those days and that day of delivery and just overlook it. 1 Like |
