    Are there other ways your expecting partner has asked for emotional support? Or are there other specific suggestions you can share for providing emotional support for your expectant partner?

      The emotional support is key during pregnancy from your partner. The baby feels it while in the womb. I hope people would know more about this. Welcome to my channel too.

    Thanks for the video. My wife is 6 weeks pregnant. I've stepped it up big time around the house, cooking, cleaning, laundry and serving her nonstop when I get home. I asked her if it was OK for me to take a day off of work to go skiing (just a day trip) with a friend and she flipped out, calling me unsupportive and rubbing it in her face because it's not something she's physically able to do anymore due to fatigue. She's jealous, envious and controlling. Part of me wants to give in and stay home. Part of me says, she can deal with me being away and back by dinner time. Thanks for your thoughts!

      You’re welcome! Glad it helped! I would ask if there is anything specific she would like done before you go or surprise her with a spa day while you are gone so she doesn't feel left out. :)

    My wife is at 7 weeks, and I am trying my hardest. We found out yesterday, and had another positive test today, scared, happy, all over the map. Thank you so much for all the help, great video

      You’re welcome! It can be very overwhelming to see that positive test and many partners try to hide that so they don't look unsupportive to their partner. I am glad this video helped! :)

      If you feel like harming yourself, please contact your healthcare provider, call 911, or go to the nearest emergency room.
      If this was an expression of frustration (which I completely understand).....

      That is a good start because now you can imagine, at least a portion of, what she feels like. But she has maybe zero capacity to do something with it now. Her body hurt, maybe has lack of sleep or nutrition because of insomnia and vomiting and is literally pushed to the limits. The thing how the brain works is, that it saves energy for the important. Self-reflecion and mechanism for calm down is not a priority when it comes to creating new human being, including all organs. Try to imagine how hard the recovery is when you need surgery for, e.g., your lungs. Now try to create all of them from scratch. I know it is extremely inconvenient, but be the man, be the rock! She is not doing it on purpose but energy is now transferred where needed more. I can assure you, she will appreciate it widely if you respond with kindness on mood swings.
