Congratulations and best wishes! Wishing you health and happiness as you begin this new adventure. Welcome to parenthood! You're going to be an amazing [mother/father].
What should you say if your friend says she is pregnant?
Offer to support her in specific ways instead of saying something like, “I'm here if you need me” or “Call me if you need anything!” Instead, consider offering any or all of the following: To go shopping with her. To bring over ice cream or chocolate and let her cry. To take her to dinner (or bring her dinner)
What to say to a pregnant woman to make her feel special?
Let me begin this by simply saying that to me, you are a superhero. A strong, powerful person for whom my admiration and love grows for every single day. Right now you're in your second trimester, and you've never looked more beautiful. Every day I am amazed by you.
In addition to those flowers and beauty compliments, these things include: being as excited as she is, withholding judgment, encouraging her to sit down or take a nap (and not to feel selfish about it), accompanying her to the OB-GYN, and giving her a good night's rest or some alone time.
How do you comfort someone with difficult pregnancy?
Listen to them talk about how they are really feeling. Share your thoughts when you are asked and remind them that you will always be there for them. Say what you know is true, even if it makes you feel vulnerable. Instead of trying to make them feel better with clichés that have little meaning, say what is true.
Look out for these symptoms of anxiety and depression during pregnancy: panic attacks (racing heart, palpitations, shortness of breath) persistent, generalised worry, such as fears for the health or wellbeing of the baby. obsessive or compulsive behaviours.
If all else fails and you truly don't understand their situation, make sure to get across the fact that you're at least trying to process it. Work with statements like “I can't imagine what you're going through” or “I've never been in your situation, but it must be incredibly difficult.”
Things like missing your period, sore or tender breasts, feeling more tired and nausea (morning sickness) are common symptoms of early pregnancy. Some people have symptoms of pregnancy before they miss their period. Take an at-home pregnancy test if you think you might be pregnant.
In the last 15 years, though, research on human mothers and babies has caught up to show that my mother-in-law was at least partly correct: A pregnant woman's emotional state—especially her stress, anxiety, and depression—can change her child's development with long-lasting consequences.
Are you more emotional when pregnant with a girl or boy?
One myth suggests that pregnant women who do not experience mood swings are carrying boys, while those who do experience noticeable changes in mood are carrying girls. The truth is that most women will have mood swings during pregnancy, especially during the first and third trimesters.
They may feel excited about becoming a parent and shower their partner with love and care. Other men may respond more negatively, feeling overwhelmed by the responsibility of becoming a father or scared that it will damage their relationship.
What if I am 3 months pregnant and I don't want the baby?
Options: If you're 3 months pregnant and don't want the baby, you have two options available to you: abortion or adoption. You can talk to your doctor about your abortion options at 13 weeks.
How do you congratulate a friend on having a baby?
Let them know that your heart is bursting with love over their little miracle. Congratulations on creating a beautiful, healthy baby. I look forward to sharing in the joy they will surely bring. Best wishes to an amazing couple as you share in the love (baby's name) has brought us all.
