Hi everyone,

I am a 25 year old male and looking for advice on how to be supportive during pregnancy. Please message me. Much appreciated!

Every woman, and pregnancy is different. Advice from one person will differ to another, but my advice… don’t tell her ‘you know how she feels’ when she tells you something. It’s a feeling that unless you’ve been through it, you don’t know. Just listen and have sympathy. Ask her what she needs from you, which during the pregnancy will change dramatically. At first for me, I needed someone to talk to, for support. Then I needed someone to tell me I still looked beautiful as my body changed. Even through it’s an amazing & incredible journey, it’s scary and emotional seeing your body morph into something you’ve never seen before. And in the last trimester, I needed someone to not talk about the size of my bump, or anything baby related. It’s all anyone talks to you about and sometimes you just need a break from it for an hour.
