So me and my wife decided to have a baby =33.
 

But. . .
Her hormones are killing me :'(
I haven't been on the internet because I realized I had a beautiful girl who loved me. . A few months later I proposed, and a bit later we decided we wanted to have our first child. .

Well last night I walked into our room and she was sitting on the bed crying, so I came up so comfort her, and asked her what was wrong. and she said, "I can feel myself getting fatter" And I tried to explain to her that happens when you have kids. .

It's not just that but it seems like everything we do makes her cry now, like we went out to eat a few nights ago, and we where waiting for our food and she started crying, and I asked her what was wrong. . but I still don't know what was wrong I couldn't understand a word she was saying so I just sat there and tried to talk her though it and comfort her the best I could. .

But between her hormones and her morning sickness, I think i'm more tired then she is.

And I love her, and I'd never leave her, but can I make her less. . emotional? Or will it wear off and this is the worse part? And is there another way to stop morning sickness? Because i've fed her so many saltines that i'm sick of them.

You are being a wonderful husband and that's about all you can do, the morning sickness will pass after a couple of months. I don't know about the emotional part because, I never got like that but, it's normal for a lot of women. Just keep doing what you're doing and before you know it, the baby will be here and things will never be the same again but, you will have your wife back eventually.

Awww poor you. People always seem to forget that it isn't just the woman that is pregnant but the male too. They have to deal with the hormones and all as well.

But first of congratulations on getting pregnant! =D

I think you are being a very good hubby to her. You are trying to comfort her and helping her where you can. ^^

I think that is all you can do, but do not forget yourself. ^^ Try to talk to her about how it is making you tired too, that she is so sad all the time and that it makes you feel helpless.

I know you do not want to make her any more sad, but I think you should also think about your own feelings right? I am sure she wants that too.

And talking about it might help. You should also talk about her feelings of course. The best moment to pick to talk about things like that is when she isn't already being emotional.

And when she is upset just let her be and wait till she has calmed down, and then talk about it. In any case, that is how I would do it. Can't guarantee it will help tho.

Maybe you could also ask her parents? Maybe they went through the same things when her mother was pregnant and they can give you some tips? And also talk about it with your parents? I mean they have experience with being pregnant too.

All of this won't probably stop her emotional outbursts, thats simply the hormones but it will wear off, believe me. But they might help you two on going through this in a bit more relaxed matter.

On the morning sickness, it almost happens to every woman that is pregnant. It usually starts around the 6th week and should get lesser in the 12th week.
There are certain things you can do about it though.

* make sure the bedroom is getting ventilated
* She can try to eat something light, like a cracker in the morning without getting up, like put crackers next to yer bed, or you have to fetch it for her XD, when she ate it, she needs to lie down for a few mins and then get up

She can try to:
* Eat small amounts every 2 hours
* Not drink stuff that has cafeine in them
* Not get up immediately after eating but rest for a bit first
* Wear loose clothing
* Take enough rest and don't make sudden movements.
* When feeling nauseous try to get your mind of it, because if you focus on it, it will only get worse
* Try not to eat very fat and/or spicy foods
* Drink a lot, around 10 to 12 glasses of water and/or juice a day, it is better to drink in between meals then with meals

I hope these things may help. And you could also ask the doctor for more tips. And if she vomits over 3 times a day you should go see the doc too because that's a little bit too much.

I wish you both a lot of luck with your pregnancy and future parenthood! =^_^=

Awww... I'm sorry you're having a rough time of it.

You've asked if you can stop her fluctuating hormones? I'm afraid not. It's not anything you're doing wrong. Some women are normal during their pregnancies and other women turn into... er... something completely unrecognizable! My friend said the phrase, "I know the woman I married is in there...somewhere."

However! I do have at least one suggestion. Tell her she's beautiful, often. Tell her you find her bump sexy. She's concerned about her weight and figure right now. She knows it's normal, but knowing that isn't comforting. Give her as much emotional reassurance as you can about her appearance. Maybe kiss her tummy once in a while... just to let her know you find her very attractive.

You're being supportive and doing what you can. It's unfair that a lot of burden is on your shoulders right now, and telling you "it will pass" isn't going to make the next X amount of months pass any faster. This I know.

For her morning sickness, I suggest teas. I don't know how well they work as I've yet to have personal experience with them or not, but it's worth a shot.

Maybe something similar to that. Perhaps pick a brand and research personal reviews on it. They do make other natural supplements to help curb it. They say that extreme morning sickness might be helped by additional vitamin B6.

Above all, make certain her doctor confirms she can take it.

Best of luck!

Congrats on taking the plunge into parenthood.

A lot of women get emotional when they get pregnant. And the first pregnancy can be more difficult because it is the first time a woman goes through and experiences these changes.

You're being wonderful though. Women do get emotional, and they do get upset about gaining the weight, and so many other things. But you are being understanding and supportive, which is great.

Maybe you could tell her that it bothers you when she gets all emotional and starts crying; not because it makes you made or embarrassed or anything like that, but because you want to help and you don't know how. Maybe you can ask her to give you something to do, or something to say during those times, so you can feel that you are helping her through it. It might make her feel a little better just knowing that you want so bad to have something to do to help.
And tell her as many nice things as you can think of. If she's feeling insecure about her body, make sure to tell her that you still think she's beautiful and love her more than ever.

Best of luck and congrats again.

just comfort her. you will have to get used to this sort of thing. women become emotionally unstable because of their hormones.
she will go through a few weeks of bleeding after she has the baby. And the emotional stuff and morning sickness usually turns into cravings for very strange foods after she has been pregnant for awhile.
just to let you know, when she goes through menopause, it's a lot worse.

But for right now, just try to be understanding. When women get their hormones all screwy, they get extremely sensetive and have horrible mood swings!

By the way, you're doing a great job already! Don't worry too much.
