Speaking to a friend's wife, she reckoned that in some ways it's tougher for men than women during pregnancy.
Her pitch was that her hormones prepare and defend her against the demands of growing a baby, the external result of which, in many cases, is a volatile, stroppy, tired and snappy wife. (Read "partner" for "wife," if you like.) So much of her behaviour is now outside her control, that the men can no longer figure out what is going on. The best the men can do is hang on for the ride.
Not an argument you hear much in the pregancy books.
Volatile, Stroppy, Tired and Snappy; weren't they the Lost Dwarves?
