Pregnancy can turn a couple’s life completely upside down. During those crucial nine months, both partners learn even more about each other than they ever knew before. #PregnantWifeProblems come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, according to the Instagram, Twitter, and other social media posts below. These individuals used social media to share their stories about living with a pregnant woman.
Let’s Go, Baby, Let’s Go!
On weekends, the following couple enjoys nothing more than watching their team play at NHL games. They have a season ticket because going to the game is a weekly ritual for them.
Even so, when this man’s wife became pregnant, he was content to stay at home with her and watch the game on their television. Despite this, she was adamant that they would follow tradition. Her husband, as usual, was able to enjoy the game, but she was unable to do so.
Pickle Your Poison
You might be wondering why pickles are so popular among pregnant women. Because of the increased blood volume in pregnant women, their sodium requirements rise dramatically.
As a result, pickles and other salty foods are the way to go. This caring husband realized what he needed to know after reading numerous manuals and made sure he had a jar strapped to the back seat of his car. Let’s talk about safety for a moment.
Croissant, No Questions Asked
For many pregnant women, providing alternatives is simply not an option. Either you’ll get a bruise, or they’ll get what they want. This man inquired about his wife’s preferences when he stopped at a cafe to get some treats for her.
When she told him exactly what she wanted, a croissant, he responded in the worst possible way. He inquired as to what she desired if croissants were unavailable. Next time, simply get her what she desires!
Pregnant Prankster!
Even if you’ve been carrying a baby for nine months, you can have a sense of humor. In fact, many pregnant women’s naughty side shines through even brighter during this crucial time in their lives.
Consider this woman, who appeared to have left a box of Fudge Rounds for her husband to eat before he went to work that day. When he opened the box, he should’ve known what would happen…
Sharing Is Not Caring
It’s never a good idea to steal your wife’s food while she’s pregnant. This may not apply to all couples, and let us be clear: punching your husband in the throat, whether pregnant or not, is never a good idea.
Nonetheless, a word of advice to all the husbands out there who are craving ice cream while their wives are expecting: get yourself a tub. It makes everything much simpler. Of course, you should give her as much of your tub as she needs.
The Winning Formula
During pregnancy, it is possible for couples to overspend on resources. It’s perfectly normal to overstock on necessities, and to be honest, having too much is preferable to not having enough.
It’s best to go out as a couple to avoid things getting out of hand. Expect your pregnant wife to return with half the store after going out to get “some milk and baby formula.”
Whatever the Weather
If you haven’t been to Dairy Queen, aka DQ, where have you been all this time? It’s a fantastic place to get fast food and ice cream. This woman told her husband to go out and get her almost everything on the menu when she was expecting.
If you haven’t visited Dairy Queen, aka DQ, where have you been all this time? For fast food and ice cream, it’s a truly magnificent location. When this woman found out she was expecting, she told her husband to get her almost everything on the menu.
Pizza, Now
Even though the entire conversation isn’t visible in this tweet, we can only assume that the pregnant wife began it by typing “pizza” to her husband. Another example of a husband attempting to bargain with his pregnant wife can be found here.
People, if she just sends you a message that says “pizza,” you should go out and get some for her right away. There were no questions (except for maybe what toppings she wants).
Holy Molé
This husband was eager to make guacamole for his expecting wife. He loves nothing more than assisting her during this trying time in their lives, but he also enjoys the avocado-based snack.
Only a few guacamole morsels are left. Normally, this man would send an angry text to his wife, demanding to know why she left him with so little to do, but the situation is very different in this case. He’ll take whatever he can get!
Sweetest Apology Ever
Couples can bring out the best and worst in each other during pregnancy. Tensions can rise quickly, arguments can erupt, and all hell can break loose at any moment. Everyone seems to agree, however, that the husband does everything he can to make his wife’s life as easy as possible during this trying time.
Chocolate can often be counted on to resolve a variety of conflicts. You can imagine how happy this woman was when her husband apologized by baking her a chocolate cake!
You Taco Lot of Talk
We’re not convinced that this pregnant wife would kill her husband if he didn’t bring tacos home. However, you obey your wife’s orders when she makes claims like that during this trying time! But why would she think he was eating tacos at that precise moment?
Is she gifted with a sixth sense? This message is made even more amusing by the fact that it is resting against a wallpaper of a photo from their wedding day! The juxtaposition is comical.
Target Acquired
When you’re out shopping with your pregnant wife, remember that everyone is a target, not just you. Literally. The following couple was shopping at Target, so this term is even more appropriate.
When the wife discovered that the candles had been moved to another section of the store, she was completely taken aback. As a result, she gave the employee who broke the news to her the most evil of glares, and her husband felt bad for him. He could tell he was scared out of his mind.
Breathe Elsewhere, Please
Almost all of your senses seem to be heightened during pregnancy. You have the impression that you can hear, smell, taste, and see everything much more clearly, which can be extremely irritating.
This phenomenon worsens as the due date approaches. While many of us have bad breath when we first wake up, this man’s breath was so offensive to his pregnant wife that she told him to turn around!
Who’s the Boss Now?
The dynamic between a husband and wife during pregnancy is perfectly captured in this picture. At the end of the day, the pregnant woman is the one who makes the decisions. While we highly doubt that this woman ordered her husband to cook her dinner, her Instagram story is a hilarious depiction of the situation.
It’s nice to see her kicking back in her throne while watching her man prepare her dinner. Of course, in this Instagram story, we blurred out a word, but you get the idea.
Time to Move Back In!
If you and your pregnant wife are having trouble sleeping comfortably in the same bed, you’ll have no choice but to move out and sleep on the couch until further notice. If you have a spare bedroom, this is a viable option. Otherwise, the sofa will have to suffice!
Before he could return to the master bedroom, this soon-to-be father had to spend two nights in the guest room. He was even given permission to use his own pillow once more!
Multi-Tasking at its Finest
Women are said to be much better multi-taskers than men. But, in the end, that is just a stereotype, and it is entirely dependent on the individual. Having said that, it appears that this pregnant woman is defying the stereotype in a truly unique way.
She is not only holding a box of chocolate chip cookies, ready to eat if she gets hungry, but she is also sleeping soundly, implying that she is pretty much prepared for anything.
The Curse of Vanilla
Vanilla is widely regarded as the blandest of ice cream flavors. When you live with a pregnant person and try to share a tub of ice cream, there’s a good chance you’ll end up with vanilla.
Since the pregnant woman gets first dibs on the more stimulating flavors, expect a pretty “vanilla” nine months. When you have a tub with three flavors in it, that’s just how it goes.
Maca-Wrong Decision
Even if your body is telling you not to, it’s important to have food ready to eat when you’re pregnant. This man claims that his wife made mac and cheese despite the fact that she wouldn’t eat it all.
In the end, she discovered that she had devoured the entire box and that she deeply regretted it. When it comes to food, pregnancy can cause people to do all kinds of strange, irrational, and impulsive things.
Polar Pregnancy
Although it is possible to plan when to have a baby, the reality is that women become pregnant at any time of year. It appears that no matter what time of year a baby is due, the fan must be turned on to allow the person in question to cool down.
When this husband asked his wife if they could turn off the fan because it was 15 degrees outside, she was irritated. But, as far as she was concerned, they still required the use of the fan.
Picnic On the Go
It’s important to maintain a healthy level of activity while pregnant. Overdoing it can impact negatively on the whole thing. However, staying completely still for the entire nine months is not recommended.
When it came to going for walks, this couple had a stipulation. They would take a variety of foods with them whenever they went for a walk. Pickles, sandwiches, cookies, and other snacks were all individually wrapped in plastic bags.
Not That Kind of Frozen
When a pregnant woman has a craving, her husband should do everything he can to help her fulfill it. It goes without saying that this isn’t the best time to pull a practical joke.
This man was dispatched to go get some frozen yogurt. He noticed a package of yogurt with a theme that matched the Frozen movie while he was at the store. He admitted that he was tempted to take it as a joke, but that he preferred to live to see another day.
Testy Texts
Food is not taken lightly by pregnant women. This husband learned the hard way when he tried to sneak fast food into his house without purchasing any for his wife.
To begin the conversation, he received a tense text from his wife, threatening to divorce him if he went to McDonald’s without her one more time. He attempted to defend himself by claiming that the food was not his, but his wife was clearly not convinced.
An Interesting Snack
During pregnancy, you may experience some unusual cravings. However, it’s best to just give her what she needs without interrogating her too much – or trying the concoction she’s concocted yourself.
“Yes, my wife is pregnant. Why do you ask?” he captioned an image of the results of his shopping list. Fortunately, he’s prepared to provide whatever his wife requires, even if it’s a combination of rocky road ice cream and sliced pickles.
A Chilly Situation
Pregnancy brings about more than just cravings. Many husbands are also finding themselves adjusting their thermostats to levels they never expected to. This husband posted a photo of his and his wife’s thermostat, which was set to a freezing 60 degrees Fahrenheit.
Since most people keep their thermostats set to around 70 degrees, this is almost shockingly cold. He mentioned that when his wife took a nap before work, she preferred this temperature. He joked about the temperature being “balmy.”
Ready for Anything
When her husband shared this photo, this soon-to-be mom was prepared for anything. A small takeaway container with snacks and an extra Hershey’s Kiss is shown in the photo.
Her husband commented on why his wife was bringing road snacks in this photo. They weren’t going anywhere special or on a day trip; they were just going to the supermarket. She was simply prepared in case she became hungry while they were out. It’s a brilliant idea, in fact.
Everyone Deserves a Pillow Fort
Pregnancy is a magical time, but it comes with a number of drawbacks. One of them is the difficulty in getting comfortable at night when you don’t have a lot of extra tools.
When this husband took his wife to a hotel for a relaxing weekend before their baby was born, he documented her struggle. She made the most of the hotel’s amenities, particularly the fluffy hotel pillows, which she used to unwind and find a comfortable position. In the photo, she seems to be in a good mood!
Taste Test
You don’t always know what you want to eat until you try it. Unfortunately, this means you might try something and realize it’s not what you’re looking for right now.
When he began to find partially eaten snacks, this husband realized his wife was dealing with the latter situation. Before it was returned, this donut had one perfect bite taken out of it. We can’t say we blame her; sometimes you just don’t know until you try.
She Knows What She Wants
This husband’s wife knew exactly what she wanted when he was sent to the grocery store. So she made certain to send him out with a checklist so he wouldn’t forget anything.
Her list, on the other hand, includes some strict requirements that her husband should keep in mind. According to her, he’s supposed to get cereal three times now. She also said he should get “all the cereal” and that she needs plenty of cereal twice.
Spa Day
This time, a pregnant woman came to share her husband’s efforts to assist her while she was expecting. He did it by treating her like she is in a spa.
She noticed that as her pregnancy progressed, she was having difficulty reaching her feet to paint her toes. That’s when her husband stepped in to do the work for her so she didn’t have to. Even better, he seems to be doing a stellar job!
Playing with Fire
When things start to get a little stressful, humor can be the best medicine. Sometimes it’s very welcome, and other times it’s not. When he responded to this request, this husband decided to take a chance and play with fire.
We hope this person’s wife found the situation amusing when her husband took a request a little too literally. When his wife asked for a “small bowl of cereal,” he gave her this – a bowl of cereal that was almost doll-sized.
Practice Makes Perfect
There’s a lot to learn when you’re becoming a new parent. So, before the baby arrives, you’ll want to practice. Practice makes perfect, right? This husband posted a photo of a cat who appears to be displeased with his current owners.
Skittles, the unhappy cat, is wrapped up tight because his wife wanted to practice swaddling before she did it to the newborn baby. What a patient cat to be there for his family during this difficult time.
An Impressive Feat
This husband took a moment to talk about a unique talent that his wife discovered when she was 41 weeks pregnant. “I love this woman so so so much,” he wrote in the caption.
Many women find it difficult to bend over when they are heavily pregnant. This woman discovered that she didn’t have to bend over to check her feet. Instead, she simply stood on one foot and pulled her leg up to her face.
Midnight Snack
Cravings can strike at any time and in any place. This is a fact that this husband is well aware of after his wife awoke with a midnight snack craving.
According to him, she was surfing the web when a picture of Chips Ahoy chocolate chip cookies stuffed with Oreo creme appeared. As a result, she awoke him at 3 a.m. with the request that he go to the store and get some. He stated that it was well worth the effort.
A Helpful Spot
When it comes to pregnancy, you need to be willing to try new things. Clearly, this woman took advantage of her growing baby bump. While they were in the car one day, her husband managed to capture this adorable moment.
She was eating a snack while driving and balancing the foam cup on her stomach. After all, it’s a convenient spot for balancing a snack, and a little creativity can go a long way.
Halloween Haunts
You’ll have to get a little creative if you’re pregnant on Halloween. When this woman was pregnant, her husband posted a video of the two of them getting crafty for the holiday season.
She wanted a costume that showed off her baby bump to accommodate her pregnancy. Juno MacGuff from the film Juno is the perfect choice. Her husband dressed up as Paulie Bleeker, Micheal Cera’s character from the film, to complete their ensemble. We’re sure they got a lot of attention for making such a unique decision.
Blank Canvas
It’s natural for someone who is pregnant to be a little more forgetful than usual. They are devoting more and more of their time and energy to their growing child. Finally, the cogs aren’t turning as smoothly as they should.
This man described his wife as having a “mooshbrain” after she made him a sandwich for lunch that was completely devoid of any filling. He saw the humor in it and couldn’t help but tweet a picture of the “blank canvas.”
Ultimate Sacrifice
It’s all about compromise in marriage, and it’s even more so when there’s a baby on the way. This caring husband is providing plenty of space for his pregnant wife so that she can get the rest she deserves.
Furthermore, he appears to be wrapping up in multiple layers in order to keep the fan on during this stage of her pregnancy. It may be cold, but she is at least warm, and that is all that matters.
Pickles R’ Us
One pickle-related social media post in a pregnant woman’s life is insufficient! This devoted husband also made a point of stocking up on pickle jars and strategically placing them throughout the house to make wifey’s life as simple as possible.
Even after purchasing all of these jars, this man joked that he wasn’t sure if he’d purchased enough pickles for his pregnant wife! We believe they will be covered for a few days at the very least!
Stuck in the Mud
Taking your pregnant spouse out to dinner can be an adventure in and of itself! You may have struggled in the past to find enough room to order a dessert of any kind.
When your wife is far along in her pregnancy, however, a large slice of mud pie should be no problem. If you have the time, go back and look at the original tweet because there are a lot more photos of the wife devouring this lovely cake!
Taking it Cheesy
Who says pregnant women can’t enjoy their time in the sun to the fullest? This pregnant woman spent the majority of the day relaxing, soaking up the sun’s rays, listening to music, and devouring a large tub of cheese balls.
Although it is important for pregnant women to stay active during those nine months, it is also beneficial to enjoy those quiet moments. It’s time to get moving once that baby arrives!
Time to Fill Up
At the gas station, it’s easy to get carried away. As if gas wasn’t already prohibitively expensive. You may find yourself spending a fortune on snacks and other necessities while on the road before you realize it.
This guy, on the other hand, couldn’t resist tweeting about the time he stopped at the gas station and left his pregnant wife in the car. They didn’t even stop to get gas, as it turns out. She simply wanted a ton of snacks!
Field of Dreams
The following Instagram post will strike a chord with many of us. One of the greatest pleasures of married life is to relax with your spouse on the weekend and watch whatever is on TV while snacking on a variety of foods.
This couple was looking forward to watching the football game and eating a large bowl of nachos, as is their custom on weekends. This man’s pregnant wife, on the other hand, could not sleep. She even missed one of the season’s best games! However, hubby was unfazed.
Huffin’ for Muffins
At the end of the day, it stands to reason that grocery shopping during pregnancy will be more expensive than usual. This husband, on the other hand, found a hilarious way to make that point on social media.
When her husband was caught in the act of opening a box of muffins just seconds before returning to the car from their grocery shopping, this pregnant wife saw the funny side of it! He wrote on Instagram, “Didn’t even get the car started and she’s opened the muffins.”
Now You See It…
Though it is a thoughtful gesture to bring a chocolate cake to one’s pregnant wife, don’t expect to eat much of it. The night he brought the cake home, this man was able to get a piece.
The next morning, however, he discovered nothing but crumbs and a tin tray. It’s almost as if it turned into a competition to see who could eat the most chocolate cake. Needless to say, the man’s wife came out on top in this race.
