When you are an expectant father, you probably do not know what to do and what to say to your gloomy face and ever moody wife. You have heard some people saying that being moody is quite normal when your wife is pregnant. You understand that but you are confused and scared for your wife. You want her to be happy and glowing but you know what to do when pregnant wife of yours just scowl at you even if you are saying the right thing. You don't understand why your wife becomes so lovable and after one second turns out to be scary and moody. You get worried because your wife is carrying your child and you know that she is very vulnerable at that time of her life.

You ask some of your girl friends and they are saying one thing – cope up with her. You might think "How can that be possible when I am worried with them?". You might never change her attitude because pregnant women are really prone to mood swings. The best that you can do is to ensure that your wife is having a healthy pregnancy. After all, she is carrying your child. That's the least that you can do for her – make her pregnancy period a healthy one and here's how:

• Get all her essential minerals and vitamins every day. Vitamins and mineral are important for pregnant women thus you should see to it that your wife gets plenty of it. According to many doctors, pregnant women need more vitamins than normal ones. And this is not ensured by eating alone. You have to ask your doctor if your wife needs to take some multi vitamins to supplement her pregnancy.

• Eat a healthy diet along with her. Many people consider healthy foods as boring and pregnant women also think the same. Most of the time, they 'hate" eating healthy foods and crave for something unhealthy – at least for the time that they are pregnant. When they do this, try to eat with her and maybe, that would allow her to accept that she really has to eat those foods. After all, when you share the same food, it will never be boring.

• Get her moving. Exercise is important for pregnant women. It makes them ready and prepared for the "big day". However, because she is "bloated", she might not want to make any movements and rather want to sleep all day. You, as a responsible husband should make the move. Take her to the park or wherever place where she can walk and move her body a little.

What to do when pregnant ideas and things are not only essential for the expectant mother but as well as to the soon to be father too. This is not a surprise since the child is made through the union of the parents thus the child should come out too with the help of the parent as well.
