Ok, before anyone goes mad, Im not saying that pregnancy is a piece of cake. I've never experienced it and never will either. The woman has the physical pain but the man has the emotional pain of seeing his woman injured, has to wait on her hand and foot for 9 months and gets his hand crushed in the hospital.

If a man stands by his woman, there must be pain involved for both. Discuss…


Answer:
I think it's pretty even. The women have to walk around with extra weight for 9 months, go through labor, go through the mood swings, & deal with the after-birth. Men, however, have to wait hand & foot on their girl, do the things the pregnant woman would normally do (like clean, b/c someone who is pregnant should NOT be around chemicals), risk breaking their hand while their girl is going through labor, & deal with the girls mood swings & run to the gas station for a 2am food craving.

I guess it's more of a pain in the neck for the men, but the women have to go *though* the pain. I think it's pretty even.


Answer:
No problem. Although I'm a girl & some day I'll have to experience pregnancy; I still think that the man is just as involved as the woman. Report Abuse


Answer:
Well let's see.

Men have exactly about 5 seconds worth of work to do where a pregnancy is concerned and that's have an orgasm.

So then for the next 9 months, the woman gets to puke nearly daily for the first 3 months, be constipated, fatigued, have backaches, headaches, cravings that are enough to drive you mad, get stretch marks, have her entire body be invaded by this little alien she's carrying around, get no sleep, pee every 5 seconds, last awful hip pain, and then go into labor where she will pass something the size of a watermelon through something the size of a lemon.

Gee. I dunno. Who is it harder on?


Answer:
As much as you like to think that you’re giving her your full support, there will be nothing that you will ever do in your life that’s more involving, all consuming, painful as pregnancy. I commend the chaps who try to get involved as much as possible, they are certainly worthy of a pat on the back, compared to the fellas who just bail out and let the wee wifie suffer all the anguish,pain and mind-blowing mood swings that come along. Nature demands that the wifie must bear the child, but a lot of chaps would be willing to take their place, and that's a great thing in itself. I think that the best support you can give is when the child has been born and you do your utmost to ensure that your beloved wifie can get as much rest as possible before you have to get back to work. It might mean that you’ve two weeks or so of sleepless nights, but she’ll have many more in the future…

Answer:
Sorry, you're probably not going to get anyone to agree with you that its just as bad for the man. Its one thing to feel bad someone you love is suffering and another thing entirely to be the one that is uncomfortable 24/7 for the last couple of months. You might help out more at home, but unless she's texting you while she's at work every 90 seconds to tell you how uncomfortable she’s, you don't get much credence for it being just as hard on you.

Answer:
Pregnancy is a tough time for both men and women but in different ways. Women have the in your face stuff ie sickness, sleepless nights, cramp and the large one LABOUR!

But men have bad times too, I had my 2nd child prematurely with quite severe complications for myself, it was very hard for him to deal with the fear that he might lose his wife.

I would say it's 50/50. Men need to be aware that woman are a frenzied mass of hormones while pregnant and may seem a little insane ( i know i was! ) And women need to take into account that it's not just them it's happening too!

Mom of 2 who has been slightly insane while pregnant!


Answer:
haha i do NOT agree! why would men go through any pain! they dont! its the women that goes through everything periods, labour etc and carrying a baby around for 9 months with morning sickness etc! men just over react and think its hard for them when it isnt.. stupid question

Answer:
I'm 7 months pregnant and my husband has not waited on me at all. He seems to have the sweet deal of things. I’ve to carry the baby and have it, the only thing that's going to change for him is the lack of sleep!

Answer:
boo hoo poor man getting his hand held by his wife whos pushing a 19in long 7lbs human out her vagina! wait on her hand and foot? its called marraige buddy!! welcome! I'd like like to see u carry an extra 25 lbs for 9 months

Answer:
Don't even try to compare the pain of a pregnant woman with anything else before i get really really angry with you.

Answer:
women of course as their bodies are the one that goes through all the changes.

Answer:
i never heard of a mans penis splitting in half during labour so no, dont be a moron.
