Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

Pregnancy doesnt mean you should just sit in bed. Studies have shown that women who continue to do household chores have less complications.

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

^ yes being physically active also helps in a relatively quicker and easier delivery! that said, its also nice to feel a little spoilt and given a little extra attention during this time.

AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW.... thats soo sweet... Goodluck .. ^_^

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

When and if Allah SWT decrees my wife to get pregnant, she's not gonna sit around and get all fat. I am putting her in those YMCA fitness classes for pregnant ladies.

My grandmother when she was pregnant with my youngest Chacha, still cooked and served my grandpa dinner after he got home from work, grandpa then fell asleep.

A few hours later she called herself a cab, not wanting to disturb him, and gave birth at the Air force hospital.

Having said all that, you should go easy on your wife. Giving birth is really tough, thank GOD he made us men.

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

I don't think physical activity makes much difference atleast it didn't for me.. I worked up till the 2nd last week of my pregnancy and continued to do cleaning and shopping here and there but had a very tough delivery.. I think husband's support is very important for a wife because she is emotionally unstable at that point.. My husband understood that I wasn't sitting around and just getting fat and his attitute towards me made a big difference in my own attitude and my pregnancy.

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

FYI, women do get “fat” when they’re pregnant since there is a baby growing inside them. The exercises that pregnant women do are to help them relax their muscles and lessen the aches and pains they go through, not to help them lose weight :rolleyes:

I also think it doesn’t make much difference. I lazed around during my first pregnancy and mashaAllah had a wonderful pregnancy and delivery, while right now I’m very active (still working 9 to 5 and taking care of the house, husband and daughter) and having a tough time with my pregnancy as I get so tired :frowning: My bones are literally aching these days and I can’t sleep properly :bummer:

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

Same here. I was on bedrest in the beginning and again towards the end. My mom usually cooked for me or take out. I made little stuff that I craved or put together sandwiches at most. The 2nd pregnancy is tougher, cuz I had to give my son enough attention and keep up with some of his demands. I remember we had just read a book, played with him, had made some lemonade and fried pakoray(it was still ramadan) and i started having sharp pains. Went into labor after that :)

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

You may not think activity makes a difference but science tells us that it does.

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

^That is applicable in the last months..... they tell you to walk a lot to help the baby drop and kickstart labor.

Re: nice things husband did for his pregnant wife.

yes activity might work but I walked and even did jumping jacks towards the end of my pregnancy to get myself ready for labor but nothing happened. Everyone is different I guess. I have a cousin and for her pregnancy is a breeze... she feels great MA and has no problem doing activities indoor and outdoor so I wasn't that lucky I guess :(
