best books during pregnancy image
Sean
How can I make her feel comfortable and loved during pregnancy, and help her a lot when the day comes for the baby to be born? She has a real low pain tolerance and she's nervous because this is her first pregnancy. She feels sick a lot lately, and I want her to feel special and relaxed during this time.

Go out and buy the book "What to Expect When You're Expecting". It has a picture of a pregnant lady in a rocking chair on the cover. It's written from the mother-to-be's point of view, but it covers all the essentials. You'll find it will help a lot with what you're trying to accomplish, and your wife will really appreciate your solicitude.
About feeling sick in early pregnancy: As people have no doubt been telling you, many women feel nauseated during the first three months or so, particularly in the mornings. The middle three months are usually quite serene, and she'll feel great. During the last three months, her increasing size will make things awkward and tiring. She'll be relieved when the time comes for the baby to be born.
About the pain issue: She will be able to talk over very thoroughly with her obstetrician the different approaches to pain control during childbirth. Some women don't want to miss a moment of the experience, even if it will be quite painful for a short while. Others want to have anesthesia -- as much as it takes -- and wake up afterward to find out whether they had a boy or a girl. There are intermediate options as well.
Doctors and midwives often advise new mothers to direct their energy toward bonding with their baby, rather than rejoicing with friends and relatives. Discourage most visitors, particularly those who want to "stay and help". Your wife will need rest much more than company. You can mobilize simple meals and run the washer and dryer (learn how ahead of time). The grandmas can jolly well wait two or three weeks to descend on her. Take pictures, though, so they can see what Junior looked like as a newborn. (Please don't use flash.)

Moms, how was your libido affected during pregnancy, and what was the gender of your baby?
Bill F
I asked a question before about libido during pregnancy and it seemed split down the middle. Half the women had no interest and half the women noted said they had an increase in sexual desire.
I started wondering what the baby's gender was in relation to a rise or drop in sexual tendencies during pregnancy, so.... did you have more or less interest in sex during pregnancy and did you have a boy or a girl.
I'm an expectant father and I'm writing a book and blog http://blog.almostadad.com for expectant fathers on living with and caring for pregnant women.
Any info is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
