As a husband, it’s your duty to reassure her that she’s still looking beautiful and will always be that way to you no matter what. Talk about her pregnancy glow and make her feel better.

3. Share Her Excitement And Enthusiasm About The Baby

We understand that you might get baffled looking at this side of your lady. She’s probably never screamed at you but during pregnancy she has. If there’s anything disturbing you mentally, go talk to her. But at the same time, maintain the love and care for her so that even she doesn’t hesitate to explain her problems to you.

Just do it. No questions asked here. No explanations are given either. Keep it simple and just do whatever she asks you to.

Okay, she was pregnant for nine months, she gave birth now and the baby is out. She’s going to be normal from tomorrow— this is absolutely untrue. A woman’s body endures a hell lot of pain during labor. As much as care was given to a lady during pregnancy, the same amount of care and love needs to be given to her post-pregnancy as well. Her body needs time to recover and heal from all the pain. And it’s your responsibility to be by her side throughout.

Pregnancy is a very important phase for a couple. They need to look after each other’s worries and excitement and work towards cherishing all the special moments during the magical period. Also, they need to get themselves ready to become responsible parents. Don’t you agree with this? Let us know in the comments section below.
