How do you support your partner during a tough pregnancy?

Cupid’s Advice:

Not all pregnancies involve a warm glow.  In fact, some involve complications and sick feelings from the very beginning.  Cupid has some ways to support your struggling partner:

1. Take over household chores: If your pregnant wife or girlfriend is the one who usually takes care of various household tasks, step up and take those over for her.  She’s carrying your child, so the least you can do is vacuum under the bed.

2. Learn prenatal massage: If you really want to go above and beyond, learn how to give a mean massage.  Take a class or read a book on how to use your hands to relieve some of your pregnant mate’s stress.

3. Research: There is a lot of information out there about how to deal with pregnancy struggles.  Take the initiative to read up on them, and apply your new found knowledge to help your partner.
