Valentines Day

[SIUUU]

Hello!

I am a man, with a wife who will be 33 weeks pregnant by the time the day arrives. Usually, I just think of this day as a commercial pile of nonsense, however once the little one arrives, I suspect any nights/days out will become minimal!

The reason for the post is I am wanting to know what would be an appropriate thing to do? I was just considering cooking her, her favourite meal and watch her favourite film. She has had a pretty torrid pregnancy and I want to make it special before we become parents. To those who were that far along, what was it that you wanted to do/felt able to do?

Thanks for your help :)

What you are planning is perfect, low stress and just enjying the day. Good luck

Sounds about right - maybe add in a foot massage, tell her how much you appreciate what she's done. I wouldn't plan something out of the house either.

Your idea sounds perfect, a takeaway from her favourite place would also be a good idea if you fancy just relaxing together and not cooking. Enjoy your last valentines day as a family of two.

Ah, your plan sounds awesome - chuck in a bath in a clean bathroom and a candle and she'll be feeling super loved and cherished. Good luck with everything x

Well, ask her what she thinks? If she equally thinks it's a nonsensical tweefest of overpriced pink teddies, heart-shaped creme brulées and naff cards, then she's unlikely to have had a personality change due to pregnancy, is she? I mean, is there any reason not to cook her a meal and watch a film tomorrow, or next week? I was 36 weeks pregnant for Valentine's Day when I was carrying DS and I would have thought DH had had some kind of head injury if he'd suddenly decided we were celebrating Valentine's Day...

Sounds like a lovely idea!
Previous posters advice about a bath with candles for her is also a good idea, she could relax whilst you cook.
It’s easy to “forget” about each other when you’re expecting and become parents so this will make her feel appreciated and loved.

Sounds like a perfect night

You should be doing those things all the time, if that’s all my DH did I would think we weren’t celebrating the day.
Does she hate flowers?

Also your suspicion is right. Once the baby arrives, days out will become minimal and more complicated to manage.
So if budget allows I would splurge on a night out at a nice kid free restaurant.
