Being a dad: your pregnant wife won't be as you imagine

I rewind a little on the theme of Being a Dad (I was already talking about babies born and now I return to pregnancy) to enter this topic that I find interesting for parents, so that they get the idea that Your pregnant wife will not be like the one in the photo.

It is clear that the ideal of beauty that they sell us is that of a tall, thin, young woman, without wrinkles, with a shiny, silky hair and fluttering in the wind, with a look that proves to be a woman from head to toe with Clear things and ideas on your site.

This is already accepted as part of our society. The problem is that this ideal extends to the world of pregnant women, with images of moms so fashion like this one (I doubt I'm pregnant), with thinner ankles and vertigo heels, and fathers and mothers end up believing that during pregnancy one is as great as the girl in the photo.

The truth is that many women suffer various symptoms when they get pregnant, such as mood swings, nausea and vomiting, dizziness, tiredness and sleepiness, change in taste and smell that causes many foods to cause more nausea, increased frequency of visits to the WC, etc.

In short, as the husband of a woman who spent four months of her second pregnancy dizzy day and day too, I feel that this type of images seeks to show a reality that does not exist and leads women to believe they have to be like this (of precious) all day, with his life and his house in order and ignoring the messages that arrive from his body.

We bounce men just believing (already, I confess, we are not very smart ...) that it is normal for our women to be that good, with the only difference in the belly that grows.

Well, feeling it very much, dear dad or future dad, it is most likely that you are feeling bad, disheveled, untidy, dizzy and not wanting to do things around the house or go to dinner at the house of those friends who have invited you.

And this that seems so negative is in fact a recommendation for all future parents: if it looks like this allow him to do nothing, not fix and be ugly (but don't tell him).

Moreover, convince him to listen to his body and connect with his needs. If she is dizzy, her body is telling her to stop, if she is tired, or sleepy, her body is asking her to sleep, if now she can't even smell according to what food her body is telling her not to eat.

As far as I know, no symptoms of pregnancy tell a woman to go with heels, to the latest fashion and freshly styled hair salon (although if you want to do it, dad, don't deny it).
