Maybe this news of a baby came as a surprise for your wife. As of now your wife may not be mentally prepared to be a mom.

I am also going to be a mom but many a times lots of concerns goes on in my mind whether I am ready to take care of my child, will I be able to go through labor etc. etc. This is when I did want to be a mom.

I van imagine what will happen to a person's mental state if she is not yet ready to be a mom. Is your wife working? If she is career oriented lots of questions might be going on in her mind. I will suggest you to spend some quality time with her. Try to keep her happy and in a light mood try to discuss the issues she has in her mind.

I agree with measha that there can be many reasons for such a reaction. A lot of times our behavior is governed by incidents in our life which had a strong impact on us. Your wife might have some memories which could be troubling her. In any case, as measha pointed out talk to her and comfort her.

MrDaddy,

Your wife is going through a lot of emotional stress. In addition there are a lot of physical changes also taking place, due to some hormones increase the women become more emotional. This is a time when she needs to be told about all good things that are going to happen in life.

Another thing is this time she needs support of loved ones. She might be close to her mom. It will be good if you could make her spend sometime with her mom who I am sure can tell her about the happiness motherhood brings to a woman's life.

MrDaddy, I can understand your wife's situation. She might be going through so many emotional issues. I am having a 10 months old baby and yesterday only discovered that I am going to have my 2nd one. I am in a bad mental state I do not want this baby. But being a mom I cannot even think of getting rid of this baby. There are so many issues going on in my mind, my career, how will I be a good mom etc. etc.

Please do stand by your wife and provide her emotional support.

Thankyou ladies for ur valuable feedback. Recently, I have been trying to spend more time with my wife. But this is the first time in the 3 yrs of our marriage that I feel I am unable to understand her

Its great on your part but if you are not able to understand, as suggested by nomitha please do take help of other family members and friends. Your wife must be having some friend she is close to and can have some woman to woman talk. Or may be her mom or elder sis who can provide emotional support and clear her mind about motherhood.

MrDaddy, Your concern is reasonable and I am in fact happy to see how concerned you are for your wife. I guess your wife just needs some time to absorb the news. Give her some time to realise what this means to her and your relationship.

Just wanted to update you ladies on the latest news of my wife as you have been so helpful. My wife went to see her elder sister this weekend. She is very close to her sister and I hope she can share her worries with her and feel better, although it's a bit disappointing for me that there is something she cannot share with me.
