10 Cute Things Men Do When Their Wives Are Pregnant

Since the dawn of time, our society has placed the brunt of responsibility, which comes hand-in-hand with pregnancy and conception, upon- you guessed it- womankind.

To a vast extent, it’s understandable. After all, we are the ones who ultimately have to carry the baby. Plus eating right, being healthy and all that fun stuff is, inevitably, our responsibility. However, by no means does that indicate pregnancy is a single-female-player game. It took two of you to tango, and a grown-up man understands that.

These amazing specimens of life comprehend that giving birth is a miracle, and that a pregnant woman needs her man throughout that long, confusing, uncomfortable and mostly overwhelming journey.

This is exactly why your grown-up man will be found doing the following 10 things while you carry his child:

Pregnancy is not always beautiful. In fact, it can be downright messy, painful and emotionally overwhelming. Social pressure may make you feel like you’re not allowed to complain about becoming a mother, but a man understands your ranting is not a sign of you being a potentially terrible mom. Morning sickness is the devil- he totally gets it.

4. Accompany You To Birthing Classes

He understands that he too has a role in the birthing process and can’t leave you and your baby to fend for yourselves on the D-day. So he makes sure he has practiced breathing and all the other maneuvers to help support you on your big day.

5. Isn’t Afraid To Reveal His Concerns

Midnight ice cream with pickles? Pasta with sabzi? Hyderabadi biryani from that one special corner in town? No matter how much he grumbles under his breath, he stumbles sleepily for his car keys… if you want it, he’s got your back honey.

Let’s be honest though, for men to become grown-ups, they need to be doing some growing first. This article, however, is a good place to start. Share it with your partner to let him know the ideal baby-daddy he can be!
