I assumed that everything would go smoothly when my wife became pregnant. However, I was in error; I made blunders that nearly caused us to split up, and I now sincerely regret not being the spouse she required.

First of all, I wasn’t patient or supportive enough with her. Her energy and demeanor altered during pregnancy, but I became irritated and aloof rather than sympathetic. I had no idea how much she depended on my physical and emotional presence.

Second, I disregarded her medical requirements. I ignored her exams and concerns since I assumed it was “just pregnancy.” I even dismissed her anxieties and misgivings as overanalyzing at times. I realize now how cruel that was.

Third, I did not shield her from stress, particularly from intervention from family members. I allowed people to criticize her, and I failed to defend her when she most needed me. We fought and became mistrustful of one other as a result.

The worst part is that I didn’t communicate clearly. I didn’t tell her what I was going through, and I kept my feelings to myself. This created a wall between us when we should have been united.

If your wife is expecting, please take note of my mistakes:

• Be patient and listen. Pregnancy is tough — she needs your love and understanding.
• Take her health seriously.
• Attend appointments when possible and encourage her to rest well.
• Protect her from unnecessary stress, especially from nosy family members.
• Communicate openly and honestly with her. You’re a team now.
• Don’t wait until regret hits you hard. Show up for your wife now — she deserves your best.
