Here is the story:
“Here’s something for you youngsters:
My wife is 22 weeks pregnant and gained a lot of weight. She said she doesn’t feel attractive anymore, and I said she looks more beautiful now than ever before.
She said don’t bluff her and just tell her the truth… So I told her yes, she got fat, but she’s still beautiful. And then said it’s perfectly normal to gain weight while pregnant.
She started crying and stormed off to the bedroom…

Now what’s a life lesson you can derive from this?”
Netizens’ comments
- Don’t take it to heart, she’s just feeling very emotionally vulnerable with changes to her body, hormones and all. Do pay more attention to her, be more attentive and show her more affection, it will tide over.
The real nightmare is inside the tummy once it’s out say bye bye to good night sleep for at least a year, good luck!
- Action speaks louder than words. Give her more affection to assure her. Kisses hugs and making out will build her confidence and keep praising her when you does that.
Text her frequently when you are away. Tell her you miss her and can’t wait to see her after work. Hug her when you sleep and hold her hands even on bed. Be sticky like a small child and keep hugging her hand or body.
- She is just more emotional because of pregnancy hormones. Pay more attention, be more affectionate to her to keep her happy. Happy mummy equal happy baby next time too. Congrats on your little bundle of joy coming soon!
