Pregnancy Timeline: A Male's Viewpoint

Pregnancy Timeline: A Male's Viewpoint

By:


I am writing this because I have found a lack of information about the pregnancy timeline from a male's point of view. My girlfriend is pregnant with our first child and it is something that we are very happy about. Now she is 14 weeks.

When you first find out your partner is pregnant it is very exciting~When we found out the my girlfriend was expecting we were both really excited. Soon after that though they start to experience the signs of pregnancy and can make it tough for you~It doesn't take long before the symptoms of the pregnancy kick in and it can have an effect on your relationship. It is normal for that to happen but I would like for you to understand beforehand the changes that this might have.

Well the first common symptom of pregnancy that nearly everyone has heard of is morning sickness~The pregnancy symptom that you have bound to of heard of is the dreaded morning sickness. For my girlfriend she felt this when she got hungry and it is not just in the mornings~It wasn't just in the mornings that she had this feeling. It tended to occur when she felt hungry. Although she was not actually physically sick, she did get the feeling a lot but by the 14 week along the pregnancy timeline these feelings do pass.

My girlfriend had a massive drop in energy levels~The amount of energy that she had dropped from their normal levels. She started to feel tired all of the time~She started suffering from always feeling tired. This had an effect on her routine meaning that she would get up later each day~She started to get out of bed later each day which impacted on her normal routine. Although that tiredness is a problem it is still important that your partner tries to maintain their normal daily routine for as long as she can~Tiredness won't be a problem forever but your partner still needs to try and maintain her normal activities for as long as is possible.

You will also find that she is more tired in the evenings too and that she will want to relax for most of the evenings after work. You will have to do some jobs around the house that you didn't previously have to do. Further down the pregnancy timeline she will get her energy back.

Your partner will react differently to mine and here are some other symptoms that they might have~Your partner is likely to have different reactions than my girlfriend but here are a few things that she might suffer from. She will likely to suffer from head and backaches, have mood swings, possible constipation and have cravings for certain types of foods~The other possible symptoms include mood swings, food cravings, constipation, headaches, backaches and weight gain. Obviously the last one is a joke.
