Educate Yourselves

Be There For Her Emotionally

This is always valid when it comes to relationships, but you should really up to your game while your wife is pregnant. She’s going through something you can’t even imagine: from hormones, mood swings to pain and swellings, your wife needs all the support she can get.

Mind The Food

Your pregnant wife has a tiny human growing inside her, and all that she eats, it eats vicariously. Therefore, it’s important that your wife maintains a healthy diet. In today’s world, we all know that it’s much easier, cheaper and faster to eat junk food. But, you need to try for the sake of your baby’s health.
Eliminate all food that’s harmful to pregnant women. Pack the fridge with healthy snacks and meal. Prepare the meals yourself to take some of the pressure off.
