Living with a pregnant wife

Don't ever,ever say anything that she'll hear and think you called her crazy. Our son is 3 years old now and she still brings it up when I told her to stop acting crazy and she thought I called her crazy.(I thought I was going to be murdered during a hormonal rage). Now she's 3 months pregnant with twins!! Best believe I'm careful to not make her mad again.
 
My youngest is 19 now so my experience is old ... but I'm pretty sure it's still accurate.
-believe it or not, you can find pineapple milkshakes at 3 am
-when you get home from work, open the door and throw something in .... if it's thrown back out, wait 30 minutes er so before testing again.
-Ice. My wife would eat ice like is was the secret to life itself. I never finished a drink when she was pregnant.
-sleep, even working she slept 23 hours a day.
-crying. sad, happy, hungry, too full, tired, rested, busy, bored, mad .... all were good reasons to cry
- We knew where every bathroom in the state was.
-sex, nope, that what got us into this in the first place, and it might hurt the baby ... even at just 1 month along.
-we ate so much freakin' chinese food, I thought the kid would be born with slanted eyes

All this was the first one.
The second was entirely different.

-Ice, well she still ate that in tonnage, but none of the other above stuff was a problem.
-sex, She darn near killed me. I ain't gonna lie, insatiable.
-unfortunately that ended.
-happy all the time

Someone asked me what the thing about my wife being pregnant was ( 1st kid).
My reply ... we only have 3 more months to go.
The worst thing ..... we still had 3 months to go.

awesome funny thread!! my wife has had 5 but only one is mine and i was pretty blessed with that one...nothing too crazy like i was expecting. I have to agree with the majority on: 11 years being married i've learned "we (men) are wrong, they are right" when they are in their hormones stage LOL LOL. pregnancy was made easier for me cause couple good buds let me in on some good secrets and advise just like this thread and i knew to just smile and act happy. day before she went into labor, we went canoeing...go figure!! i wasn't fond of paddling our buts around a big lake but she wanted to go so bad so we went...the whole time were out on the lake, i kept thinking "Lord, don't let this woman go into labor...i'm gonna be one paddling SOB back to the docks....and she would keep wanting to go further and further from the dock! i felt pretty lucky in general as i don't think i had to deal with too much "pregnancy horrors"...Congradulations on all those soon to be Dads in this thread...hang in there!

Regarding the sex thing, in every example I'm aware of a boy totally shifts a woman's sex drive ("normal becomes insatiable and nympho goes disinterested") and a girl child it stays howit was...
 
/\ I jokingly told my wife, if I didn't get laid soon I was going to have no choice but to outsource it.

I thought it was endlessly funny, she however did not!
 
Sex? Not happening in my house. I get the "it might hurt the baby" thing too.
However I keep hoping for that stage where she can't get enough. Doubt it's coming. But she has surprised me by doing other things to satisfy me.

I he e forgotten what normal was. For the folks that's been thru it, how was she afterwards? Go back to normal? Have a new normal?
I expect things to be a little worse before they get better being we will have a newborn and then BOTH getting very little sleep.

Everybody's different, but I wouldn't get your hopes up :(
 
Mines almost 5 months along, so far nothing too weird. She has "baby brain" times a lot, like yesterday she called me at work and said I forgot to kiss her before I left. After I told her I not only kissed her but we held like a 5 minute conversation, she wanted to argue about it. Then she went "oh yeah, I remember it now...." :facepalm: Her biggest meltdown so far is that she wants the nursery done yesterday. Nevermind that I work 2 jobs and one of them is 24hr shift work..........

Usually it comes in the third trimester, for most women it does anyway. Results may vary for some unlucky suckers. :D
 
Go to her next doctor appointment and bring up the subject of sex.

The doctor will says it's perfectly safe and actually good for the mother.

Unless your hung like Mandingo lol
 
Been there done that, doc even said it would be fine. She just has no drive, and worries about the dumbest stuff.
 
It's not the end of the world. I find it mostly comical, probably get her worked up a little more than I should.
There's bound to be more funny stories, let's her em'!

Preggo isn't anywhere near as bad as having one kid 6 and the other 4 at home with her all day, that's when they really go batshit crazy.

Preach it brother, preach it!
10 and 4 at my house. Same deal.

Last week my oldest daughter called me at work..Obviously she was driving the wife crazy, asking if 2 of her friends could come have a sleepover, so my wife said "Just have to ask your dad". (Which usually means that the wife was has already said NO..15 times.)
When the call came in, I was sweating my ass off unloading boxes of wood ,carrying them up steps....absolutely in no mood for the "ask daddy game" and I knew my wife held the final say anyway. So.....I told my daughter
"YES...Emily and Kyndal could spend the night...but,to be fair she should also call her other friends ,Marcie, Becca, Heather and Shannon too.
The phone rang again 3 minutes later....my wife sarcastically said. "Well played,baby...We'll played" then hung up on me.
It was one of my finest moments:D

For all those currentl

In the end we spent 10 days in the NICU. (Talk about expensive!!! Over $400k)

Holy crap! My first was born 8 weeks early at 3 lb 15 oz and stayed in the nicu 3 weeks. Was only 78k. That's a pretty scary story though.
 
Maybe it was just me but I thought my wife was hotter than ever both times she was pregnant with my two kids. Maybe it's a male prowess thing.
 
Just read all these. Very funny stories. I don't have kids yet. We've been married for 4 years now but we aren't ready. I once told her I was going to quit my job and become a dump truck driver. When asked why I told her because nobody's better at backing up before dumping there load.

Jonas was also ~8 wks early, 3-11, and was in NICU at Forsyth for almost a month. Scary times for us, but we at least knew that he'd make it, just needed some growing time. One of us were there every day just sitting. It was heart wrenching though seeing so many other kids in the < 3 lb range that were right on the edge. Man we saw this one baby that was < 2lbs at birth that did not make it. So rough for everybody.
NICU nurses get a special place in heaven in our book.

IIRC the bill was something around $100k. There was a really bizarre fight between our insurance companies, where both hers and mine were both DETERMINED they should be the primary, not secondary payer (b/c they each used a different rule to determine primary), and both paid almost the whole bill amount. We magically never got a bill for a single dime.

Idk what it is but I'm in the same boat. Its the most frusterating thing ever that I'm now more attracted to my wife than I've ever been, and she's had zero drive or care about that right now!
