It seems two trophies from the Grammy Awards isn’t all The Civil Wars’ Joy Williams has to celebrate these days.  The singer-songwriter recently announced her pregnancy via Twitter.  “Beyond elated to share that [husband] Nate [Yetton] and I are expecting our first child in late June!” she wrote.  “My baby bump and I will see you on the red carpet.”  It hasn’t been an easy pregnancy, though, according to UsMagazine.com.  Williams struggled with “24-hour morning sickness for months” she shared, also via Twitter.  Williams and her bandmate John Paul White won the Best Folk Album and Best Country Duo/Group trophies at the Grammy’s.
How do you support your partner during a tough pregnancy?
Cupid’s Advice:
Not all pregnancies involve a warm glow. Â In fact, some involve complications and sick feelings from the very beginning. Â 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. Â 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. Â 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. Â Take the initiative to read up on them, and apply your new found knowledge to help your partner.
