So, your wife finally has a little bun in her oven and you two couldn’t be happier. Pregnancy has been proven to reinforce relationships, but she might need some extra help feeling the love. Keep on reading for eleven ways to make your wife feel special during her pregnancy. As they say, happy wife, happy life.
1. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Beautiful: Compliment Her
This seems so simple, but the best things usually are. Your pregnant wife might start to feel insecure as her body goes through changes, and reassuring her the best you can will do wonders for her self-confidence. Telling her you find her beautiful and that her figure is more attractive than ever is a sure-fire way to bring a smile to her face.
2. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Sexy: Get Her Pretty Lingerie
Here at Enclosed we are firm believers in the beneficial powers of a pretty pair of panties, especially if they can boost a woman’s feeling of self-worth. And there is no time when a woman needs that more than when she is pregnant. (Her first Mother’s Day is usually when she is pregnant.) We’ve spoken to dozens of pregnant women about what they want in underwear; and the responses were clear. Pregnant women don’t just want ugly granny-panties, they still want to feel beautiful. And pregnancy panties can be sexy. So to treat your baby mama to something special, surprise her with a sexy subscription to the world’s finest lingerie club . . .
If you need a little help choosing what to get her, at Enclosed we are experts in the matter: every month we get fathers-to-be telling us their wives are so-and-so months pregnant, and we carefully select what we know will look and fit them best. Just mention that she is pregnant under “special requests” during checkout, and we’ll take care of all the rest.
Note, buying her bras will be more trouble than it’s worth: not only will her breasts grow every month, but they are also much more sensitive, which means she needs firm support.
3. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Treasured: Take Her Out
Your wife might feel a little slow as the trimesters pass, but taking her out on dates will not only get you two moving but it is an opportunity for you to show her off. Whether you decide to treat her to a fancy restaurant or just a simple movie date, be affectionate in public (without crossing a line—tacky). She will be happy you are proud of her, in all her big-bellied glory.
4. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Fresh: Take Her Shopping
It is frustrating for anyone to realize that their favorite jeans or t-shirt fits a little too snug. Make her feel brand-new by shopping for clothes, and note, this does not have to be maternity clothes, but just for outfits that compliment her new curves. Take a look at Séraphine for a start.
5. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Heard: Listen To Her
Hopefully this is something you already do, but it should be accentuated during her pregnancy. Your wife is going through a life changing experience that affects mind, body and soul. She will need to evacuate her feelings, whether it be fears, concerns or worries. Listen to her with compassion.
6. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Young: Flirt With Her In Public
Keeping things light and sexy during a “serious” time will take off the edge and overall instill a sense of playfulness in your relationship. So go ahead and flirt like when you had just met, it will make every moment together feel more special.
7. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Carefree: Reassure Her
Being pregnant is scary. Even though you can be there for her every day, she is still the one carrying a child and that is nerve-racking in itself. Listen to her worries of course, but reassure her. If she is concerned about an aspect of her pregnancy, buy some books and find reassuring facts. Books we definitely recommend are The Expectant Father, Your Pregnancy For The Father To Be, and Dude, You’re Gonna Be A Dad! Make her worries your own and whatever happens, always remind her that you are in this with her.
8. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Attended To: Be Involved
Being emotionally there for your pregnant wife is a given, but your actual presence matters just as much. Go to every doctor’s appointment, try to spend as much time as you can at home and check in often. You might be busy at work but set some time aside for her and her belly: after all, you only have nine months.
9. Make Your Wife Feel Sensible: Be Tactful
Choosing your words carefully around your pregnant wife is crucial to making her feel special. Pregnant women do have a surplus of hormones which can make them feel overly emotional or sensitive at times, which is why you need to make sure the compliments you make her are genuine. Be careful about teasing her on sensitive subjects, she might have laughed with you pre-pregnancy but it might backfire on you now.
10. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Wanted: Seduce Her
Contrary to popular belief, a pregnancy is not synonymous with nine months without sex. Your pregnant wife’s hormones are a bit all over the place which means her libido might go way up (or way down.) If she is in the mood, (and with permission from her doctor), don’t be shy to make a move. She will be thrilled you find her new curvy body arousing, so prepare for a mind-blowing night (or day) of sex.
11. Make Your Pregnant Wife Feel Cherished: Enjoy The Present
Enjoy time with your pregnant wife before the baby arrives because once the little bun comes out of the oven, nothing will ever be the same. Try to not think of your wife’s pregnancy as a countdown but rather as a journey that you are taking together. Remind her often about how happy you are she is carrying your child and cherish the special bond you now have.

I would have loved a pair of pretty undies when I was pregnant . I enjoyed everything that was a reminder that I was still the same person….not just a baby carrying vessel and if that included jumping around on a moon bounce looking ridiculous, that was OK. If only Enclosed had existed back then undies would have been such a morale boost.
Yes! I’m currently in pregnancy number two and when someone compliments me it means SO MUCH.
What a great email ! I knew that I should get my turtledove something now that “We are pregnant.” but couldn;t figure out just what. So many lovely knickers, she’ll be surprised and maybe ever a little bit tearful. The knicker ladies haven’t made a bad choice yet, and now when I am doubly stumped (What? then Which?) you’ve found the present for her from me.
I’ve been trying to think of something that helped me get thru my pregnancy and was almost stumped! I am lucky in that my man has always complimented me often, and even more-so when I was pregnant, but that didn’t really “help me thru” it. It was helpful that he stayed very supportive and attentive to my “pregnancy woes” but the biggest thing that helped me (suffer) thru my (less than thrilling) experience of having another human being growing inside me was my 2nd ultrasound. The first one was disappointing bc the sonographer only did a 2D ultrasound & seemed rushed plus my daughter was hiding her face but the next one I got to actually see her somewhat and got a printout of her face. Seeing her sweet lil face made it more realistic and had me so excited for when I’d finally meet her.
Wifey is about to hit her third trimester for our first kid! This is a game changer for the both of us!
Important information. I would like to share your blog with friends. It looks awesome.

Friendly, Marguerite
My wife is 3 months pregnant with our first. She is beautiful and always proud of her looks. She has yet to start showing, but she does not feel attractive. I think she has never been more beautiful and attractive as she is now. Any gift ideas she might like to help her feel herself beautiful?
A foot massage when she is pregnant is pretty much heaven, but on the more material front, we think lingerie (yes, pregnant women can wear regular lingerie!) is the perfect gift.
My husband just bought me lingerie when I told him we were expecting. It was the perfect gift to make me feel sexy as my body changes expecting this little one!
