...I had my second baby in December and its definately one of the best things you can possibly do - but! Whilst your wife/girlfriends' pregnant be prepared for hormone overdrive!! That lovely, calm, sane woman you know will become irrational, aggresive, obsessive and unreasonable for your own safety I suggest you follow these guidelines:
1) Only speak when spoken to.
2) Offer food, preferably chocolate, as a truce at all times.
3) Have some indigestion tablets at hand for when the food previously offered disagrees with said loved one.
4) In times of high emotional distress, insure her yes, you are a git of the highest order and that you will bring her breakfast in bed every day, change diapers on demand and always do the night feeds once the baby is born. (We both know this is a lie, but these words are appreciated for comforts sake).
That should do for starters!
Seriously, congrats :)
