A man’s attitude towards the pregnancy of his beloved woman manifests itself in different ways: when one is shocked by the changes and does not know how to react, the other buys all the relevant literature and simultaneously enrolls his wife in gymnastics for pregnant women. What should be the attitude of a husband towards his pregnant wife?
As with everything, it is important to observe moderation. If the husband pays little attention, the pregnant wife will begin to suffer from his lack. “He doesn’t love me”, “he doesn’t need me and the child” - these are the insidious thoughts that attack a woman’s brain in such a situation. If, on the contrary, a man tries too hard to create maximum comfort for her, then she feels limited in freedom, deprived of the right to decide anything on her own.
Why does a woman’s behavior change so much during pregnancy?
One of the main reasons is hormonal changes. A woman’s body is completely rebuilt, begins to work in an enhanced mode, which means it consumes twice as many resources. A woman gets tired faster, which causes irritability.
Now the expectant mother feels that there is no turning back. She loses her youth and carefreeness (especially if this is her first pregnancy) and long years assumes the burden of responsibility for the future person.
That is why the husband must treat his pregnant wife with special understanding, share this responsibility with her, give her confidence that support and protection are always there, which will always protect and support her.
How does a man feel during his wife’s pregnancy?
In those 9 months that nature has allotted for the formation of the fetus, not only it, but also the parents mature for fatherhood and motherhood. E. Burn’s book “Games People Play” contains an interesting theory according to which many factors influence the personality of a future person.
Factors that influence the personality of the future person:
- emotional state of parents at conception,
- desire to have a child,
- a state when both parents learned about the upcoming replenishment,
- behavior of both parents during pregnancy,
- expecting a child of a certain gender.
For this reason, it is important to monitor your behavior and attitude towards the situation. In terms of psychological comfort, it is easier for a woman to accept and tolerate the thought of pregnancy (the first trimester is the most difficult), nature rebuilds for this purpose hormonal background. For a man, “perestroika” does not happen, which means it’s worth working on yourself.
It happens that a man begins to be jealous of his wife’s child, or rather, her tummy. It’s as if she thinks and talks about him more than about her beloved husband.
The man also begins to worry more about the financial support of the family: how stable the current situation is, whether everything will collapse in an instant, whether he will be able to fully satisfy the needs of his child and the whole family.
Another question that worries a man: “Will I good father?. A man wants to be an ideal example for his future child, but does not yet know how to behave and what to do for this. We can solve this issue with time, nature is in right time will tell you how to behave.
Advice for the husband of a pregnant woman:
- Already in the first weeks, feel free to talk to your tummy, even if it is not yet noticeable. Pet him and show him attention.
- Read a book or watch a movie about pregnancy. This will help you get closer to understanding your wife's condition.
- Try to tell your loved one that pregnancy has made her even more beautiful and feminine.
- Give her more positive emotions: surprises, walks, visiting comedy performances in the theater.
- Try not to watch tragic films, programs, crime news reports - more positive and joyful.
- Even if the pregnant wife dialed excess weight, don't tell her about it. Better offer to go to a special store and update your wardrobe a little. Just.
- Try not to insist on intimacy: pregnant women do not always happily perceive this idea. It's individual.
- Watch your diet. A pregnant woman needs to eat as much healthy plant foods as possible. It will be difficult for her to eat celery if her husband eats a smoked leg of lamb in front of her eyes. Therefore, husband and wife should adhere to approximately the same diet.
- Help your wife with housework. Housework is not as easy as it seems at first glance, and even more so in its current state.
- Be patient, because the stereotype that a pregnant woman's mood is like a roller coaster is absolutely true. A sense of humor will help you.
- Arguing and quarreling is not beneficial for the three of you. Remember that there are no problems that are worth your nerves, and in the future, the health of your child.
- Do not order the gender of the child. This can become a serious psychological complex for a woman. She will involuntarily think that having given birth “not according to order” you will no longer need her and the child. Forget your “I want a boy.” By the way, this also has a negative impact on the formation of the child’s personality. He feels that he has come to a place where someone else was expected.
- Try not to teach your wife “how to do it right.” An adult woman usually believes that she herself knows how to do it. It’s better to recommend unobtrusively, show a little cunning.
- Be sure to take part in the discussion and purchase of things and household items for the newborn. Yes, it is really extremely important for you to discuss what color the bath should be and which onesies are better: with Mickey Mouse or these ones with polka dots.
If it’s difficult or you don’t have time for it, try to help in any way you can. For example, arrange delivery of a crib.
How should a husband prepare for childbirth?
How should a man treat a woman before childbirth and how to prepare for it? Choose a maternity hospital responsibly. Choose it together, having visited several options in advance. Find out what can be transferred to the maternity hospital and what is strictly prohibited.
It is appropriate for the husband to take a vacation during this period. It is beneficial for the whole family to spend the first time supporting and caring for each other.
Does a man need to be present at the birth? Only if it is a sincere mutual desire. If one wants, and the second compromises, overstepping himself, then this is no longer entirely correct. Everyone should be comfortable. A man can simply read a prayer in support of his beloved wife from behind the office door. It's important that she knows about this.
Try to both believe in the best, be each other’s support and support. That third member of your family, whom you have not yet had a chance to meet in person, will greatly appreciate this behavior and will reward you by growing up happy man, grateful to my parents.
During pregnancy, new processes begin to occur in a woman’s body, often incomprehensible to both spouses.Emotions, appetite, dizziness, changes in bodily sensations... Of course, all this affects family relationships. Husbands experience extreme stress and often don’t know what to do – it’s as if their wife has been replaced.
Of course, a lot during pregnancy depends on how unborn child desired. And on how much the couple knows how to express their love for each other.
Communication with a pregnant wife requires special understanding, patience, and knowledge of the situation. To make communication easier, we offer some tips for the husband to help him get through this difficult period without loss.
Try to understand what you cannot experience on your own
A man is physically unable to feel what is happening to a woman. Talk to your wife about these topics, what she feels, what worries her. This will allow you to understand it better. Yes, you don't feel the same way, but you are actively involved, you are nearby. You are one hundred percent in the process. A man can simply sympathize and provide. Knowing that a husband worries about his wife is very important. This will give her strength and peace of mind.
Take on more household chores
Listen to your wife's wishes. Any. Household or even small requests. Take out the trash, hang out the laundry after washing, take over the dishwashing, or finally install a dishwasher. Any help is important, this is a real manifestation of care and love. Even if you were raised with the understanding that there are “male” and “female” jobs in the house, you will have to break the stereotype. Take into account that such times are already a thing of the past, when women did not work, but took care of the house. IN modern society, where both men and women work equally, responsibilities are also usually shared, and even more so in such a difficult period for women.
Take care of your wife and fulfill all her whims
It may seem to you that your wife has turned into a terrible shrew and is asking for the impossible. This is not so, in a woman’s body during this period the hormones created a real mess, hence the strange behavior, habits, and requests. Believe me, your wife is not mocking you. And if she wants peaches in the middle of the winter night, then run headlong through all the supermarkets in search of what she wants. All the same, she will not let you sleep and will make you happy. Because this is very important to her, no matter how strange her request may seem to you. It is likely that she herself will then be surprised by her behavior.
If she asks you not to wear cologne, hide it away. Does she stop liking your beard? Shave without regrets. If she doesn’t want intimacy, then she will have to come to terms with this too. Women do not always experience pleasant sensations from sex during pregnancy. Don't rush her, be affectionate and gentle, and she will seduce you herself if she wants it.
A woman's legs get very tired during pregnancy. Of course, the weight increases, the blood vessels in the legs are compressed under the weight of the fetus, and the ankles also swell. Give her a foot massage with lavender and mint oils before bed. This will relieve tension before bed and relax the woman. Your wife will be grateful to you. Offer to help with everything, even if it involves shampooing and blow-drying your hair.
Trust your wife and don't give unnecessary advice
Often men give advice to their wife that they once heard from their mother. When showing concern about the state of pregnancy, it is important for the husband to use any information in moderation. Even a doctor's advice may not always be appropriate. Believe me, a woman has a better sense of what exactly she needs at this particular moment - women’s instincts are superbly developed. And the information from your mother may no longer be relevant, and even worse, it will irritate your wife. Better read the popular one yourself modern literature on this topic and invite her to discuss the book together.
Filter your environment and external information
During this period, try to protect your wife from negativity. These could be people she doesn’t like (even from among her relatives), cruel films and programs, discussions of unsuccessful pregnancy and childbirth on Internet forums.
A woman is too sensitive at this time and can think of a lot of unnecessary things, and people who are unpleasant to her will cause her stress. Better bring her more good videos about children, animals and happy love. Come up with reasons for her why she can't go to her birthday party. cousin which he cannot stand.
A woman is like a fragile vase now, just fill it soft toys and sweet candies and make sure that needles do not accidentally fall there.
Keep up the love, make the effort
After a certain period of time, usually from a year to three, the feeling of love sharply declines. Even the wife's pregnancy does not save. Therefore, a man’s initiative is necessary. Support love with your actions. It is important to understand that it depends on you whether the fire of love will be maintained or whether it will die out. And remember that a child is the result of love. Show love, do not accumulate omissions and resentments. Take it to the next level.
Everything will work out if you consciously go through this difficult but amazing period of pregnancy. And it is best to experience it together with your beloved wife, without remaining on the sidelines.
Hello, dear readers! It is impossible to prepare for your first pregnancy. Even if you have been waiting for this good news for a long time, the news that in 9 months you will have a child is always sudden, spontaneous and unexpected. It puts you in an incomprehensible state; a man, like a woman, does not know how to behave and what to do next.
The wife is pregnant, what should her husband do? This is exactly what we will discuss in today’s article. You will learn how to behave with a woman, how to avoid troubles, cope with hormonal surges and live safely through this difficult moment, maintaining balance and spiritual harmony.
Now everything primarily depends on the man, so these 5 minutes that you spend reading will not be in vain.
Accept her for who she is
The first thing you need to remember is not now best time to clarify the relationship. If before pregnancy you were not happy with something about your woman, try to close your eyes to it or break up completely. Weigh the pros and cons. It’s better to be calm, but apart, than to worry together.
Now she most of all needs the support of her husband and his participation. Find out about her visits to the doctor, ask if she was cold during a walk, if she was tired from going to the movies with friends, and so on. You do a small thing, but for her it is a big deal.
You may not. This is beneficial for you too. You are probably familiar with cases when a wife sends her husband to the store at three in the morning to buy strawberries. This seems to be normal practice. Indeed, some girls have an urgent need for certain products.
However, if you do not show care and attention, then the physical need can also be combined with a psychological one: “She doesn’t so much need fried potatoes at five in the morning as the feeling that her husband loves her and is therefore ready to rush to the ends of the world for the sake of what is important for the baby.” vitamins."
The more “little niceties” you do for your wife, the more she will strive to behave exemplary and not throw scandals at you.
Go for an ultrasound
Be sure to go for an ultrasound if you have the opportunity. This, again, is more beneficial for you. After some time, the man gets very tired, the woman loses her mind, but nothing seems to happen, the girl just gets bigger.
Seeing your own child, you will understand why you are actually “suffering.” These are unforgettable emotions that will give you strength, energy and, most importantly, patience.
After the second or third ultrasound, when the baby is already clearly visible, the outlines will become clear, you will have no questions left about what a man should do when a woman is pregnant. Everything will become obvious. You yourself will want to accomplish feats and love your one and only.
I can also recommend you a book "Super Dad" by Viktor Kuznetsov. It describes in detail what needs to be done during the 9 months and first years of the baby’s life. If you strive to become an excellent father, the book will be an excellent help in your endeavors, and the woman will be pleased that you bought it, even if you didn’t finish it.
With this I say goodbye to you, see you again and don’t forget to subscribe to the newsletter.
Olga Lvovna KRAKOVA, a leading psychologist at the St. Petersburg Young Family Center, tells how to behave correctly with your husband during this period.
Oddly enough, but the one who is destined to be born only nine months later, from the very moment the pregnancy is discovered, completely and firmly occupies all the thoughts and feelings of the expectant mother. This is normal and absolutely natural, but... For most men, both literally and figuratively, this is not obvious. And when the woman he loves discusses with her friend for the hundredth time which diapers are better, it begins to seem to him that you no longer need him or are interested in him.
And the sooner you dissuade him of this, the better. It's not difficult to do this. Talk to your husband about his affairs, even if such conversations were previously rare in your family. Or any other topic that worried you and was common to you before you became pregnant. That is, chat about any trifles, instead of once again discussing the problem of choosing a stroller or wallpaper for the children's room.
Moreover, once again leaving the doors of the antenatal clinic, buy your husband something that he has long dreamed of. There is no need for huge gifts: he will be no less pleased to receive a nice tie, a cassette of his favorite movie, or tickets to a football match that you hate so much. And, of course, don’t refuse to go somewhere together. The main thing is that your joint forays have nothing to do with the upcoming event. No matter what your husband says, it is very difficult for him to see you disheveled, in completely unimaginable robes, especially if you previously did not allow yourself to go out without putting on lipstick. Therefore, you should not relax too much, watch yourself. A pregnant woman should not evoke sympathy and compassion, she should evoke delight and admiration. And it's not that difficult.
Do special gymnastics for expectant mothers, take care of your body and face, wear special underwear. And, most importantly, remember: just because you became pregnant, you did not stop being a woman, but your husband still remained loving man. And for this reason intimate relationships should not become a thing of the past, of course, if there are no medical contraindications.
But, be that as it may, such is the peculiarity of the condition called pregnancy that everything you talk about, no matter what you do, invariably comes down to one thing - the child. For the future father, as we have already said, this is not easy, and if sooner or later he breaks through or withdraws into himself, do not be upset. Sit down and talk to your husband. To moderate possible jealousy on the part of your spouse towards the unborn child, explain to your loved one that competition is impossible between him and the baby. This is a part of yourself, the fruit of your love, and the feeling that you have for your husband will in no way be divided between two. You draw both love for your husband and love for your unborn baby from different sources.
In order for your spouse to feel more and more like a father every day, to show you due attention and care, you must definitely share your feelings and experiences with him. But remember that it shouldn’t be “hours of suffering” about how bad you feel and he doesn’t notice.
And even more so, you shouldn’t drag your husband with you into antenatal clinic, arguing that your friend’s husband walked. All people are different and, perhaps, your husband will find a much more acceptable option for him to support you. For example, he will empty one of the cabinets he “needs” for children’s clothes or bring a bathtub from your friend. But the main thing that future parents should understand is that the birth of a baby is not only difficult joint work, a test of the strength of the authenticity of your relationship, but also an education of feelings that will help you become gentle, caring and loving mother and dad.
The fact that nature has kindly freed men from the need to bear children, give birth and raise them as mammals does not mean that all these activities do not concern us. It happens that they touch you like that and it doesn’t seem like enough.
In vain, for some reason, such an important matter as conceiving a child was tied to such a frivolous activity as sex. There is something deeply wrong about this, imbued with a malevolent sense of divine humor. Of course, scientists are working on this problem, and the time will come when all people will be created in the most sinless and noble way - in laboratories and test tubes. But this is a prospect for the future, albeit not very distant. In the meantime, most of the world's citizens are doing things the old fashioned way. This means you can become a father at any time. Completely unexpected. And that wouldn't be so bad. But first you need to take some time pregnant woman man, which is a very extreme sport. Kurt Vonnegut said: “Every time, driven to despair by the demands of my pregnant wife, I was ready to curse my existence, I remembered that I was, after all, lucky in some way. For example, that I am Kurt Vonnegut, and not his pregnant wife.”
IMPORTANT POINT
Do you think that every woman dreams of a man who dreams of children? And that with the words “Come on, honey, let’s have a baby immediately,” you will make your partner happy? In fact, this opinion is more myth than truth.
Here is what the famous feminist writer and Nobel Prize laureate Elfriede Jelinek writes: “A woman is in the grip of a double fear. She is afraid that her partner looks at her only as a sexual toy and is not ready to share responsibility for the child with her. But on the other hand, no woman wants to be treated like a baby-bearing machine. She is afraid of losing her own self, giving up her body to the future life.”
According to the All American Center for Family and Motherhood, almost half of all pregnant women experience more or less depression caused by the fact that they are “no longer treated as valuable individuals.”
"It's horrible. All my friends and family say hello to my belly, lisp with it, talk about its future, and as for me, they are only vigilantly watching to make sure that I don’t accidentally drink champagne at their party. As for my husband, I have no doubt: if now, like a hundred years ago, doctors asked him who to save the life of - the mother or the child, he would, without hesitation, shout: “Of course, the baby!” – this is how one of the center’s patients describes her feelings.
So here you are too difficult situation. You will need to manage to declare two things at once:
The child is more important than anything in the world.
Your woman is more important to you than all your children in the world.
Moreover, the second point is even more important.
BE READY!
Interesting strange things that can happen to pregnant women
Toxicosis
Early toxicosis begins on the 12th day of pregnancy and can continue until the middle of pregnancy. Some lucky women do without it at all, everyone else complains that the jam tastes like herring, and the yogurt smells like blood, after which they run to the toilet to resolutely part with what they have eaten and return, demanding that they immediately be served chocolate, boiled onions and a couple of spoons of plaster for breakfast . If you're especially lucky, your girlfriend will also have late toxicosis, that is, all these symptoms will not disappear at the 20th week, but will happily last until the end of pregnancy. (Important: late toxicosis is a symptom of problems in the body, such as problems with the kidneys and liver, so you should definitely tell your doctor about it.)
Tears
More leniency! It’s not your girlfriend who’s crying out of pity for the little goat, whose horns are all that’s left, it’s her crazy hormonal balance that’s crying. And, by the way, it was he who yesterday threw you an hour-long tantrum on the topic “You are a two-faced scoundrel, you have one left leg and the other right, and I will never forgive you for this!”
Sleepy attacks
Sleeping for 24 hours, waking up to quickly eat something, and passing out again for a day is a common situation for many pregnant women in the first trimester of pregnancy. Usually this drowsiness lasts only a few weeks. Some doctors believe that this is due to the fact that the body is so focused on the process of fetal formation that it prefers to temporarily send the mother into a kind of suspended animation, so that her bad life activities do not interfere with her doing important things.
She sleeps with her feet on the pillow
And sometimes she wakes up with terrible screams. Cramps of the calf muscles are a common pastime for pregnant women whose bodies, for one reason or another, lack potassium. Massages before bed, warm foot baths and regular use of medications prescribed by a doctor usually help to cope with this problem.
She can't watch action movies
and even boxing
Still would! Now that she knows how tiring and responsible it is to give birth human body, she cannot calmly watch how these bodies are spoiled in the most stupid way. Such sights do not entertain her, but anger and upset her.
Her breasts have grown
About two sizes - this is the usual figure for pregnant women. In this case, already from the second half of pregnancy, when you press on the nipple, a whitish liquid - colostrum - may flow from it. Don't be surprised if anything happens.
Some strange dark spots appeared on her face, arms, back, stomach and even on her legs
It's okay, it's pigmentation. The incorrect distribution of melanin among the cells is caused by the fact that her body now has more important things to do than supervise the melanin in the epidermis. There were surpluses - they were quickly sent anywhere. Soon after giving birth, the spots will disappear anyway.
She grew a mustache and beard
Nothing supernatural either. This happens to almost every second woman. The reason for this is -
depressed state of estrogens, female hormones, which are produced much less during pregnancy than usual. When the chemical balance returns to normal, the sideburns will disappear into oblivion.
A third of all pregnant women complain of a sharp deterioration in memory and in general mental abilities. This is not surprising, given that the girl’s neurons now have to deliver and process much more data than usual, but the blood supply to the brain is slightly, but reduced.
DATA
1. During the pregnancy of their wives, most men experience improved mood, reduced stress and strengthened immunity - this was the conclusion reached by specialists from the University of Cologne, who examined more than 6,000 couples. For example, future fathers were three times less likely than all other men to suffer from seasonal colds like a runny nose. Experts believe that there are two main reasons for this phenomenon.
Constantly being next to a pregnant woman, a man is also forced to behave more healthy life– smoke and drink less often, eat right, go for walks often fresh air etc.
The modern, pampered man perceives his wife’s pregnancy as a critical situation. He mobilizes all the protective functions of the body and, like a soldier during war, can endure loads without harm to his health that in peacetime would instantly put him in bed with a fever.
2. How dangerous is drunken conception? Alas, it is really dangerous. According to data collected by one of the leading experts on this issue, Professor Matthew Kaufman, there are three factors that can lead to the so-called “drunken conception syndrome in the fetus.”
The man drank alcohol 2.5–3 months before conception. Then a larger number of defective sperm matured in his testicles than usual.
The man was drunk at the time of conception. The presence of ethyl alcohol in the male body reduces the severity of sperm quality control.
The girl drank 2-3 weeks before or 2-3 weeks after conception. At the stage of egg formation and rooting ovum Alcohol could do all sorts of things in the uterus.
However, it is not at all necessary to immediately rush to have an abortion if one of these factors or all three occurred at once. Drunken conception not a verdict, but only a slight increase in risk in the genetic lottery. It’s just worth doing genetic tests as early as possible.
3. Sex during pregnancy is a great way to prepare for childbirth, says the famous gynecologist, professor of the department of gynecology and obstetrics of the NSKU Natalya Lazareva
“There’s nothing stopping you from having sex every day,” she says. “On the contrary, it will improve the tone of the vaginal muscles, which is so important for successful childbirth.” True, there are also several subtle points here.
Sex can be dangerous for the fetus in the first three and last four weeks of pregnancy.
It is better to forget about the classic “man on top” position in the last three months: even if the girl does not experience discomfort, stress on the stomach should be avoided.
The best position for sex during pregnancy is the so-called “spooning”: the woman lies on her side and the man hugs her from behind.
If there is a threat premature birth or miscarriage, sex should be completely excluded.
The process of creating man was clearly invented
a creature not without a sense of humor.
1–12 DAYS. TOURIST
The longest and most intense forced march that a person ever makes occurs during this period of his existence: in the form of an egg already fertilized, but still deprived of a permanent residence, he travels across endless and dangerous spaces. fallopian tubes into the uterus. Not everyone makes it. On the 12th day, the fertilized egg finally reaches its destination and is securely strengthened.
13 DAYS – 3 WEEKS
Nobody yet knows about the presence of a resident in our rear, but he is already carrying out his subversive activities with all his might. First of all, it changes the composition of the blood in the female body that hosts it, so miracles begin to happen to women. Miracles are always very individual. For example, a girl may experience swelling in her legs and under her eyes, her breasts may become enlarged, strange desire go and drink ink or sleep for two or three days without a break.
4–6 WEEKS
The resident is usually already exposed (except in cases of the most advanced naivety) and is actively engaged in sabotage. The expectant mother becomes acquainted with such interesting phenomena as morning and evening toxicosis, mood swings, tearfulness and panic attacks or, conversely, a state of causeless idiotic happiness. The same one who controls the big one adult woman like an obedient puppet, it still looks extremely unpresentable: its size and shape look like a lump chewing gum. From this lump they stick out in different sides four processes - future arms and legs.
6–12 WEEKS
We had something promising to become a head in the future before, but now this ball even has some facial features. Of course, things have not yet reached such delights as ears (only two auditory slits on the sides), but a mouth with lips and eyes with microscopic eyelashes have appeared. Good books for expectant mothers often recommend starting to talk to the baby at this time. So if you find a girl reading Schopenhauer aloud to her navel, do not rush to panic: a decrease in intelligence due to hormonal changes in
She has already experienced 15–20 points, but she is still far from serious mental problems.
13 WEEKS
He's a man! Or a woman! Or a hermaphrodite! In general, gender has been decided once and for all. By the way, many geneticists believe that it is during this period that future sexual preferences are formed: disruptions in the development of the gonads and organs right now decide whether the child will have a standard orientation or whether he is doomed to wear pink thongs, but at the same time shave every day.
14 –17 WEEKS
Finally, the child acquired almost the entire set of organs and spare parts due. Now we can take care of the details. For example, about hair - it begins to grow throughout the body. In addition, right now the nervous system has developed so much that the child has some senses - for example, touch and taste. Alas, rum cocktails are still a long way off; the only thing he can taste now is the taste of the amniotic fluid in which he floats. But drink - I don’t want to. Volunteer doctors who risked tasting this drink report: most of all, it looks like salt water, because it is salt water.
18–22 WEEKS
That's it, we're moving normally now. And right now the baby’s brain is actively growing, adding as much as 90 grams per month. Because, strictly speaking, before this there was no brain, but only laughter, smaller in size than a chicken. And fingerprints appear on the fingers - now the fetus will no longer be able to escape Interpol by changing its name and leaving for Mexico. This is unpleasant, but there are bright sides to the development - for example, boys now have a penis. It may only be 8–9 millimeters long, but at least some is better than none at all. Besides, he might still grow up. What are our years!
23–27 WEEKS
There's good news and bad news. Let's start with the good thing: if you are born now, you can already survive - modern medicine works wonders. Worse news: for some reason the child constantly hiccups. Doctors have not yet found an explanation for this phenomenon; there is a version that in this way he trains the future respiratory and esophageal tract. There are still two months of regular hiccups ahead. True, you can suck your own finger as a consolation, which is what 95% of all babies do non-stop. Boys will need this skill in the first year of life, girls – longer.
28–32 WEEKS
Stomach expectant mother lives his own life: jumps up, tosses and turns, tries to run away from her to the other side of the bed. This is a child playing last days. Very soon he will feel so cramped here that he will not be able to move at all. As a matter of fact, the fruit is almost ripe, but there are still some issues left to settle: finally developing the lungs, gaining fat. And yes, get rid of excess hair, otherwise he is now almost completely covered with it: his forehead, his chest, and his back - in classic Georgian style.
33 WEEKS
Well, the child is ready to start - hanging upside down. If he did not have time to turn around, this is bad: childbirth with legs forward often leads to all sorts of unpleasant consequences.
34–39 WEEKS
When will this finally end?! Darkness, cramped conditions, the child is squeezed and restrained, like an aggressive mental patient during transportation.
40 WEEKS
The waters have broken. Doctors say not earlier than tomorrow. Maybe stimulation? Be careful, the doors are opening. So slow. The first birth can last up to two days. Take dad away from here and let him smell ammonia. There is light at the end of the tunnel. God, where did I end up?! Ah-ah-ah!!!
