Those crazy pregnant women

[Patriarch]

So my wife and I are expecting, 1st child, etc etc. Due in September.

I tried to be as prepared as possible for the batshit-crazy mood swings and emotions being out of control, reading up online, etc etc. It's like my wife is a different person lol. She hard mode raged because after work, I mowed/Cleaned gutters and misc. yardwork and she went nuts because I put the lawnmower in shed, rather than the garage. It's the crazy things like this that are a complete and utter mystery to me. Starting to happen alot more often with the most random things. Laughing turns to crying, and then she is raging mad, then wants to watch a movie and cuddle. I tend to just say "yes dear" and nod my head and go along with the tirade and hope it lasts 5-10 mins.

So for the parents, or expecting parents of BG, what advice do you have? How did you handle the craziness? What random acts of kindness did you do to keep your other half happy even if she is trying to cleave your head off your shoulders for no reason?

Would love to hear the female opinion on this as well. What did your husband/bf do to dispel berserk-mode? I buy cake, flowers and random treats which usually works for a little bit lol, but im all for hearing what set you off and how I can avoid it with my wife :D

My wife went nice mode all 3 times. Sucks for you.

[Tyche]

Just continue to have lots of sex.

[Aristio]

My ex's pregnancy wasn't bad at all, lots of sex all the time. In your situation, just ignore the crazy. Buy her emergency chocolate. I would have herseys kisses in the fridge just in case.

[Xno Kappa]

No trolling, give her the d a lot more often.

[Patriarch]

the d still gets almost daily usage. Read all about how most women dont want it, no issues here

Mainly just the random emotional shifts from mad to happy to sad to downright crazy over nothing. Just checkin to see how others handled it mainly. I got a mouthful over putting the Dr. Pepper on the rack with the vegies in the fridge. Hard not to laugh sometimes but I know she is going through some crazy changes, yada yada so I just nod my head and go along with it.

Chocolate is on lock, got all kinds lol.

[BorkBorkBork]

Have sex as much as your can and try not to murder her for she knows not what she does. Above all else remember that it's your fault and its best to accept it early on.

[Lordesequiel]

Ice cream. Lots and lots of ice cream.

[Cream Soda]

Did you hit her with a water bottle or shit on her pillow? Both of those establish dominance

[Ashmada]

I was going to suggest teh whater bottle, but since CS got here first, I got nothing.
You've tried the gag already, right?

[brozy]

The gags probably how he has ended up in this situation in the first place

Delivered.

[Brill Weave]

My wife has been exactly the same. Not a single blow up or anything.

Motherfucking post of the month. If we ever meet I'm buying you a beer good sir.

[Headspace]

Have you considered divorce? Or an exorcism?

[test123]

I am more concerned about you having a baby in September, did you know those September kids aren't allright?

[Charismatic]

We aren't?

[Grey Jorildyn]

It's gonna be a year behind in school and everything! Terrible.

[test123]

Most, if not all hipsters are born in september. Good luck.

First off: Congrats!

Second: I don't think I did the angry thing. In some respects I did the opposite (fucking laughing at shit I should be upset about.) I definitely had the bi-polar weepy to happy shit. I think I mentioned this before, but I had never seen The Walking Dead, and it was up on netflix when I was preggo. Hubby and I watched it, and I was torn between crying and throwing up the whole first episode. It was then banned until I popped out the baby.

Sex wise, no real issue until towards the end. Couldn't stop laughing at how hard it was to move during it and I felt all kinds of ridiculousness, so that kinda ruined the mood.

With that said, I think you already gave the best advice which is:

I tend to just say "yes dear" and nod my head and go along with the tirade and hope it lasts 5-10 mins.

Just keep reminding yourself she doesn't mean it, and her hormones are out of whack. But above all else, DON'T TELL HER THAT. No woman pregnant or non wants to hear "oh it's just your hormones." Feel free to think it, but sympathize with her needs as if she has a legitimate issue.
