Please dear Nairalanders, please help me, I didn't supposed to share my home story here, but It really borders me, my wife is six months pregnant now, since 3months now her character changed towards me, she always doesn't talk to me for the whole day,.

When we sleep on bed she just walks out of the bed without any reason, I don't know what is happening, some of my colleagues told me that, if some women are pregnant, they always act strange sometimes, because of the pain in them.

Please have you experienced this before, & ladies did you act like this when you were pregnant

1stNumeroUno:
Op, this stage of your marriage life is crucial to both of you. And a lot lies on you. I suspect this is your first pregnancy but I won't forgive you still because you should have read-up/research about differs reactions of pregnant women.
Your experience above is one, sometimes it's being picky at food. Many will question you if they look ugly, and you have to reassure her of her beauty with words and actions. Someone above their mentioned helping her with chores (even when she says she's strong enough). And remember to be 'topping' up, demand for it normally.

VictorRomanov:


Women should also learn to talk about how they feel more readily. A man can't understand what it means to be pregnant. Cos we've not been there before. The best we can do is use our imagination to try to figure out what a pregnant woman is going or goes though. It wont kill her if she tells her husband how she feels and what he can do to help, rather than acting up and expecting the man to figure out. If this man doesn't care about his wife, he wouldn't have come to ask for help. Women should communicate how they feel.

EsotericMonk:
@Edoigho, its called pregnancy blues , and it manifests in preg ladies in different ways.
Some develop a food fad, some become very irritable, some become depressed , etc etc etc.
She is going through the motions, what she needs now is understanding, love, support and some space. Whenever her countenance brightens, try to talk with her if she could let you into how she feels.
Have you guys enroled in an ante-natal (pregnancy) clinic? Pls do so and inform the doctors so they can keep a close watch on her. Cos she is at risk of postpartum blues or even depression which would pose a greater risk to herself and the baby.

Don't be silly!
When on earth would some of us have some sense within? A guy with family situation he doesn't understand is asking for help and you are busy tackling his English. Were you born with dictionary in your mouth? Bull.Crap!

Rokia2:
Smh I can already see why she’s pissed off at you.
You think pregnancy is easy? How about communicating with her? Do you help her around the house? Some women doing pregnancy are very sick and extra weak during this period. You can’t afford to just ignore her.

Go to work come and that’s it. You have to be understanding considerate and much more tolerant during this period.


Many men just don’t have no clue what a woman goes through during pregnancy.

Like sheikh mufti menk said we now have children who themselves needs looking after having kids. (That don’t necessarily means age wise but maturity wise.)

Powerexpert:
you should also read more at this stage as the husband. A lot of people don't read and are caught in the web of the changes

VictorRomanov:


It's good to read and acquire knowledge. While women generally behave the same and have similar psychology, you and i know that different people react to things differently. So there is need for communication to know what a person really needs and want. You can't read my personality from a book.
