OT - Help Ladies Please

OK - Here is the situation. My wife is ~8 weeks pregnant and suffering terribly with morning sickness and mood swings.

We seem to have the morning sickness under control. But I would like to know if you have any suggestions for anything that I can do to help navigate the mood swings.

I love my wife, but some days i just about want to pull my hair out.

Dave....

The only thing I can suggest for the mood swings is "DUCK"!!!  There's nothing you can do but ride it out.  I had an awful time when I was pregnant and all my hubby could do was support my craziness.  I would cry if he didn't finish his dinner because I thought he hated my cooking.  It wasn't pretty.  

As for the morning sickness, Jolly Ranchers help so I used to keep a stash of them in my purse. 

Congratulations to you both! :)  This too shall pass. :)

 Yup - I recommend Valium.  For you, not her.  lol

Seriously?  She's incubating your CHILD man!  She's got nine months of sickness and aches and body-ravaging work ahead of her!  Followed by HOURS of painful labour!  She deserves to be moody!

Here's what you can do.
1) wash all the dishes.  Every day.
2) do all the laundry.  Properly so her stuff doesn't get wrecked.
3) answer all questions with "Absolutely dear" or "of COURSE I will!"
4) tell her "you look glowing and beautiful honey!  I love you so much!".  About once an hour.  Even at night, in the dark (but quietly so you don't wake her up).
5) never leave any of your junk laying around.  Anywhere.  Be the perfect roommate.
6) become a fan of "cuddling".  Unless she's bugging for more - then be completely excited, even if she hasn't showered or combed her hair recently.
7) anticipate and fulfill her every need.  Even if it means driving somewhere in the middle of the night to fetch.  And make sure that whatever you fetch is EXACTLY right.

That should help...

awesome! I agree!

I just read that to my hubby, you hit the nail right on the head! LOL  Don't forget the cooking though.  Pregnant women have what I like to call "dog nose".  We can smell something that used to be normal but once we are pregnant, makes us wretch!  Raw meat used to do me in, smelled like death to me.  And god forbid that someone was smoking withing a 100 metre radius of me.  I could smell it and it drove me nuts! LOL  Oh the joys!  Don't forget the occasional foot rub too! LOL

Oh I remember that!  My nose became soooo sensitive.  I threw out so much meat during the time I was pregnant thinking it had gone bad just because it smelled so much stronger than normal. 

lmao!!

Congrats to the OP!

omg Erica. yes!!!!

Love it Erica

Poor guy.
