6 Guys Describe How They Really Felt About Their Partner's Bodies During Pregnancy

1. "The whole pregnancy is so overwhelming and exciting and sort of weird that your wife's body changing is just a blip on the radar. I realize it shouldn't even be a concern for people, but just being real here. Even if the guy were 'worried' or the woman were worried that he's worried, it doesn't really work that way. Because it's your baby and your wife or girlfriend or fiancée. I think it works the same way it does with kids. You might find kinds in general to be annoying, but you love your kid. You might think pregnancy is strange, but you won't find it to be like that for your own body or for your wife's body." — Luke, 30

2. "Honestly, to me, there's nothing hotter than a pregnant woman. My wife pregnant was a dream come true. I wouldn't use the word fetish, I don't think. But I was excited. Her skin, her breasts, her ass. It was all very sexy. If having kids wasn't so expensive, I'd be OK with my wife being pregnant all the time if she wanted." — Steve, 31

3. "It was… cool. There are so many changes happening constantly and it's really… interesting. I never thought I'd call my fiancée's body 'cool' and 'interesting' but that's how it felt for me. I know she'd disagree with me, but at least getting to see it happen and feel our future baby kick, it was an awesome experience." — Nick, 29

4. "Her boobs were great before and then they got greater. I definitely didn't have any complaints if that's what you're looking for." — Brian, 32

5. "She looked radiant. She had that pregnant glow about her… that glow is very, very real. But unfortunately she was also in a lot of joint pain and nauseous a lot. She's very petite so the pregnancy was straining for her in a lot of ways. I hesitate to say sexy only because sex definitely took a backseat those few months with everything she was going through." — Marcus, 30

6. "So weird. So weird but so good. I remember in health class we watched a video that was very old even then, so who knows if this is true, but it said that pregnant women have a hormone that makes their partner more attracted to them during pregnancy. [Editor's note: not necessarily more attracted, but there's some evidence to suggest fathers-to-be become more attached]. I'm no biologist so I don't know. It's like how everyone's house has a distinct smell, and it's not necessarily a bad smell, but you can't smell your own house's smell. But you're aware of other house's smells. It's like that but with your baby." — Greg, 33
