    About this ebook

    Self-help For The Emotionally Challenged Man & His Pregnant Wife


    If you are the much put-out pregnant wife reading this book, how do you get this through to the less than emotional aware male (i.e. your husband)? He who knows that 'empathy' is a word he's definitely heard of, but the concept seems to elude him

    How NOT To Treat Your Pregnant Wife is The Book For You


    Written to Help Men Not Mess-up One Of The Most Important Periods Of Their Family Life


    She has aches, pains and hormones to deal with. You have her to deal with. You need to be on your best 'patience of a Sufi' game throughout. On the flip side, you can expect her to have zero-to-no-patience with any of your mistakes. Good luck with that.


    Why New Fathers Need to Toughen Up & Learn To Deal With The Hormones Transforming Their Wives

    Why do pregnant women yell at you? Because they can. Because their bodies are going through hell, they've likely spent more time than they'd ever want vomiting unexpectedly, because every movement eventually can become painful, because a baby's foot is in her ribcage and she can't get it out, because she is sleep deprived when heart burn sets in for a few months, because she feels fat and unattractive. So just sympathise and be there for her.

    Don't Add To The Drama

    For example, don't surprise her with unexpected guests, whose company is an acquired taste (i.e. your friends). Your mother (or anyone else that raises your wife's blood pressure) coming over for a visit? Have a quiet word with them before hand and advise them to be gentle with your wife.

      INTRODUCTION

      There are many (MANY) guides on the phenomenon that is giving birth. What to eat, how to exercise and how to prepare etc.

      All of that is great but....... what about what you shouldn't be doing? Not in terms of health (there are many books about that as well) but in terms of the Proper Care & Feeding of Pregnant Wives.

      Specifically for first time fathers or for fathers who are, can we say, lacking on the emotional side of things. How should they conduct themselves in this time of great pressures on their wife and their relationship?

      It's easy to say that they should turn up at the antenatal classes. Be ever-ready with a back-rub and a cup of tea. Be prepared to be a front seat passenger on the emotional ride that your wife is about to embark on and even be ready to get thrown in front of it and run over several times.

      But, I know from first-hand experience, that sometimes, as the poor, put-out husband, it all gets too much for us....

      There I said it. I'll pause for a moment whilst the women snort in contempt and the men nod in agreement.

      What do I mean? Well, your former P-n-C, 1st Cadet, Right-Hand Woman (i.e. wife), is now out of action, leaving you to do everything and nothing.

      Everything: in the sense that all those chores and household duties you used to share, have now become your burden. You were probably not doing
