Ladies, how can I be more supportive of my gf while she’s going through pregnancy? I ask if she needs anything constantly or what I could do for her but her response is always that she’s fine. I just feel like I’m not doing enough

Thanks to everyone who replied. It’s been a rough week on her so far. I brought her crumbl cookie and cooked her some Alfredo. Afterwards I watched a movie with her and folded her laundry. I just still feel like I’m doing nothing because she’s constantly in pain, a little stressed, and tired.

It’s nice that you’re always checking what she needs, I’d keep checking in on her even if she says she’s fine. It’s always nice to have someone ask. I’m sure you’re doing great. If you want you can probably show support by doing extra work around the house like chores, or surprise her maybe with her favorite snacks or nice things like that.

i agree with the nice things, and def keep asking. leave it at a one question though, or maybe a "you sure?". if she is fine (she probs is) than it will just piss her off of you don't believe her. if you want to make sure she knows you will help, make sure to jump up at the slightest request and tell her all the time how loved and incredible she is. even just asking how to do more shows that you are treating her incredibly

The fact that you’re seeking advice is a great sign! A lot of what you can do depends on her preferences and personality. Is she social? If so, ask her if you can host a friends’ night at your place and set it up for her. Is she highly organized? Go through her closet and help her color-code her clothes or buy an organizer. I believe connecting with her on those personal notes truly matters, especially when she might be overwhelmed and doesn’t have to think about what she needs. 🩵
