"Hi I'm Joe Cuenco with family resources and today we are going to be talking about how to build upon marital relationships. Specifically how do we take care of our wife when she is pregnant. Well just exactly what are the things that we need to do to take care of our wife while she is pregnant. The first thing you are going to need to do is be empathetic. Understand exactly what she is going through, both physically, mentally, and emotionally, this could be one of the most difficult times in her life that a woman can go through. It depends upon the pregnancy. Some can be easy, and some can be very difficult. So you really need to be empathetic. But the most important thing that you can do is take loads and stress off of her. Be prepared to help out and do much more of the household responsibilities, you're going to need to be helpful with the household chores, cooking, cleaning, perhaps going to the grocery store. Being more active in helping out with the other children if that's the case, where you got a larger family. You need to give her and allow her the specific times that she needs to rest. She needs her proper diet, she needs her exercise, she needs to be taken to the doctors at certain intervals. Make sure that all these things are attended to. Also be prepared that she may not be feeling very well. Some pregnancies are very difficult. There's a lot of morning sickness, and other sickness and some women get very, very tired. So you need to be really be empathetic and understanding this can take place. And be also prepared that the hormones can sometimes be out of control and off the Richter scale. And you're going to need to be very empathetic and understand that these behaviors are going to cause a little bit more stress in your life. You need to be very actively involved in the planning process, key, but also let her know that she's loved, she is still beautiful in your eyes and that you are happy that she is going to be part of a broader family. And that's how you take care of your wife while she is pregnant. I'm Joe Cuenco with family resources, relationships for life."
