Taweret and Your Wifes Pregnancy Weight Gain

So I recently read about the Egyptian goddess Taweret who is the goddess of fertility and childbirth. She is depicted as a half pregnant woman, half hippopotamus. This was a conveyance of how women felt 3,000 years ago. Obviously the times don't change too much. As your wife progresses through pregnancy she will gain weight as she is expected to its good for your baby. A normal pregnant woman gains about 25 to 35 pounds, this isn't all on your wife that is. This includes the baby, placenta, amniotic fluids, increased fluid volume in the body, and enlargement of her breasts about 1 to 1.5 pounds each. (Can I get a hell yeah! Don't act like you aren't excited guys). So your wife will only end up gaining about 7 to 12 of those pounds. So what can you do to help her image of herself?









1. Tell Her She's Beautiful - She is going to get more curvy and voluptuous which is sexy as hell so make sure to let her know you think so. Help her feel good about the changes happening to her body.

2. Tell Her it's for Good Health - You need to reassure her that the weight gain is to ensure a healthy pregnancy and a healthy baby. Help her separate "fat" from "pregnant."

3. Pamper Her - Bring her gifts and surprise her and do everything you can to make sure she feel special if this means flowers and a card do it. If this means a nice bubble bath and you cook dinner then do that. Whatever you can think of to make your baby mama feel special.

4. Think Before You Speak - Again I repeat...Think before you speak. I have been guilty of this more times than I can think but try to realize that being pregnant is an emotional ride for her and if she isn't in the right mood that joke or comment you made regarding her weight can quickly turn into something that hurts her feelings.

5. Don't Compare Her to Anyone Else - You dont like being compared to that Calvin Klein model that has the ripped abs and perfect physique so why would she like to be compared to other women or even other pregnant women. Realize that everyone is different so dont compare her to pregnant friends or even to what she use to look like before becoming pregnant.
