Why Pregnancy is Hardest on Men

Everyone loves to talk about how difficult pregnancy is for women, but the truth is that pregnancy requires incredible sacrifices from husbands/men/baby daddies and sometimes absentee fathers too!

Here are the 9 most difficult parts of pregnancy that men have to endure:


  1. Having to listen to the sound of puking: It’s so annoying and gross.
  2. Sometimes it’s hard to decide what little treat to buy yourself while you’re out getting something for her food cravings: These decisions can get so difficult.
  3. Having to drink for two: What a drag.
  4. Everyone praising your wife and not acknowledging all the hard work you put into this: It’s a real cross to bear.
  5. Your wife wanting to spend all this money on new clothes because her old ones “don’t fit'”: And she just bought new jeans last year.
  6. Sometimes the laundry gets a little backed up and you have to look around for socks: So inconvenient.
  7. Your wife keeps wanting more sex: It’s just tiring, you know?
  8. You have to put a moratorium on all your fat jokes that normally delight the missus: She’s so touchy.
  9. The chair in the delivery room is so uncomfortable: Ugh, pregnancy is the worst.

Hopefully this helps the wives out there better appreciate all of the sacrifices husbands make during pregnancy. Take time today to tell your husband “Thank you.”
