[quote=Anonymous]Definitely don't underestimate hormones. It's hard to adequately describe how powerful they can be. She really is doing the heavy lifting at the moment growing a human.  Your entire body goes haywire doing pregnancy. I literally couldn't look at people's faces while they were talking for the entire pregnancy because it would give me vertigo and make me vomit. Your digestion is messed up, your organs are getting re-arranged, your sense of smell is askew, you swell up. The recent heat probably feels unbearable and you have constantly shifting aches and pains. She is likely getting crappy sleep on top of it all. Some people may enjoy pregnancy but for many, it's a really tough journey that we deem worthwhile to have babies.

I'm not saying all this to whine or complain but rather to give a full picture of what she may be going through as I do think a big dose of empathy as her partner can help both you and her cope in more productive ways. You may be surprised by how far supportive and kind gestures will go to making her feel better--making dinner and doing dishes while she takes a break, helping her with tasks like lifting or carrying things, encouraging her to take rests, taking initiative on grocery shopping or other errands. She will remember this kindness and thoughtfulness and I promise it will be worth it! Good luck--this time seems like it drags but it passes quickly and then you're on to the next chapter![/quote]
