Hello
i dont know if i am spouse to post here or not or if there is any guidelines on if men are (please tell me i wont feel threatened) are allowed on Mumsnet as i havent seen any men on here

Anyway my wife is 12 weeks and 4 and this will be her first time due to having a MC 6 months ago so we are looking for tips tricks etc etc

Many thanks

tips and tricks for what?

Congrats OP!! And of course men can post and a few have done 😊 how are you both finding pregnancy?

congratulations, tell her to eat well, and tell her not to stress about anything- men are welcome it shows you care a lot about her 💓

Yes of course you’re welcome!

Anything specific you’re wondering? :)

Does she have any sickness for example?

I guess my advice to you is to ask you to understand that early pregnancy can be exhausting. Honestly I’ve never been so wiped out in my life as I was when I was pregnant. From about six weeks I was like a zombie.
I also had severe morning sickness (HG) and that was horrendous - even normal morning sickness is bloody awful so if you can pick up more than your share of cooking, take the bins out daily, and just generally be sympathetic then that’s helpful too.

the food she is eating are the moment is peanut butter on toast and then whatever she can get her hands on really (chocolate) :) the sickness tends to wear off during the day leading up to the night and hates it when she walks past the hot chicken counter in most superstores. The tips and trick i am wondering what we should be doing and not be doing ( sound like i am being OTT). i dont mind helping her out but while we are living with in laws i have to do jobs for the MIL too which quite frankly i dont wanna do cause i wanna help the wife
