I'm 22weeks with a heart condition ... I need some definitions of what it means to be supporting for my clueless boyfriend who thinks what im going through Is a walk in the park! :/ thanks ladies

Sending you good vibes and positive energy.  Praying your boyfriend snaps out of it and realizes its not a walk in the park. A human body can bear only up to 45 del (units) of pain. Yet at the time of giving birth, a mother feels up to 57 del (units) of pain. This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time. Not a walk in the park...Best wishes to you momma♡

Thank you ladies ! I've been through some real tough stuff in my life but nothing has being has emotional hard or terrifying, uncomfortable and painful as this

also, just because thousands of women give birth everyday, that does not mean this process is easy on our bodies and minds. just because it is natural and women were made to have babies, does not mean that there isn't a lot of pain and adjustments to make. for someone with other complicating health conditions, they need to take it much easier than before pregnancy because their strength is going into creating a human life at the expense of their own health.

Supportive: taking the time to understand what your lady is going through and understanding that she is doing a lot of work, it is tiring, it is stressful, it is emotional, and often painful. Make sure you are not adding to her work load or neglecting to spend time with her. She is growing the baby you both created and needs your love and support. In guy terms...be her jock strap, protective and supportive. Show him the video on line of two men experiencing labor contractions.
