slip tylenol pms into all her drinks. or better yet on the drive home slip tylenol pms into your drinks so you can be knocked out cold by the time you get home.
do this for the next 5 months and call me in the morning.

Buy her a treadmill to walk it off, on. Keeps her busy, moving, excers, etc., and bonus! ... you can't hear her naggin' and bitchin' over the noise the thing makes.

you guys crack me up -
this advice would get me love and some serious hate at the same time.
i should share this thread with her.

Man Ive got three kids and I have good advice.
Go get one of those massaging pregnant women videos and massage oil, spend an hour with her watching the video and practicing on her.
She'll worship that you are thinking about what shes going through and that yuo did something to make it better, thats probably why shes coming to you all the time, she just wants to make sure you are aware of what shes going through. After you do that she'll be reassured and let you do what you want.
Also shes almost done with the second trimester which with my wife was the hardest emotionally. The third trimester all she wanted was sex, so hang in there.

P.S. having a kid is worth any crap you have to go through.

sherman! i'm an expecting dad any time now (2nd tyke have a 3yr old). tell her to slow down! my wifes appendix exploded at 26wks, had to operate, move baby to one side and clean her out -staple her up and recover. She was very lucky. Her and babe are fine. She can't wait for a drink after what she's been through. All the best bloke.

remind her that she's not doing anything some random 13 year old girl couldn't do.
and then run like hell, of course.
p.s. being a dad's cool. good luck.

Get her a PS2 with all the sports titles.

Take her to your nearest Destination Maternity store...
They have all kinds of maternity stuff and yoga/prenatal classes for pregnant ladies. She can be surrounded by maternity specialists and share her feelings with other pregnant women. Destination Maternity locations also usually have an Edamame spa as well... it'll be a nice, thoughtful gesture if you buy her a spa package, and maybe she'll come home relaxed, and you would have had some much needed time to yourself.
Though, I think if I had a 30lb belly and sore feet and all the crazy hormones, and nothing to do... yeah I'd be a bit of a nag as well.
I hope that helps! ^^

don't they have little "groups" for pregnant women so that they can have tea while scrapbooking and crying together or something? Also, I believe there are classes especially for pregnant women in many gyms. From yoga to indoor pool aerobics.

(Sep 8 05, 08:04)I wish she stuck with the yoga. She got a super flakey instuctor who wanted to reflect on innner emotions. I think thats great but my wife aint havin it.
She needs to be busting ass on the squash court or biking but those activities dont work anymore.I think she is just having a tough time changing gears from being super active and athletic to having a big olde belly.
Swimming seems to work.

hormones dude. hers are off the charts.
she needs a hobby.

hang in there. i do know that after it's all over (if the depression doesn't set in) things will be better.

you try having another human being growing inside your body while your hormones go into overdrive and you gain weight rapidly with no choice....
