If asked, a lot of woman will tell you that they knew they were pregnant before they even took the test to confirm it.  They go through changes early on, and can tell quickly when things start to happen.

Men can’t feel the changes that women feel during pregnancy, but there are some definite signs that men can watch for.

Here are 10 sure signs that your wife is pregnant:

1. You wake to a gentle tap on your shoulder, see that it’s 6am, and get straight out of bed to make breakfast for your wife.  For the 4th time since midnight.
2. You notice cuttlery disappearing, at the same time as finding your rubbish bags getting heavier.
3. You wear earmuffs and shoulder pads to bed.  The earmuffs so that you’re not awoken by the munching sounds at 1am, and the shoulder pads so that you can’t feel the tapping finger.
4. Your diplomacy skills increase astronomically.
5. You find yourself driving to your local store most nights, and being looked up-and-down while you purchase yet another tub of icecream, jar of gerkins, and bottle of tomato sauce.
6. You find that your wife no longer likes icecream, gerkins and tomato sauce.  You return to the store with a new list – a pizza bun and some caramel sauce – and wonder why the shopkeeper hasn’t called the police yet.
7. Your time spent asleep decreases astronomically.
8. You find yourself in a continuous loop of filling a hot water bottle, followed by grabbing a bag of peas from the freezer – the peas for cooling down your overheating wife, and the hot water bottle for warming her back up again 5 minutes later.
9. Your wife uses the car, and the keys go missing.  Luckily, she overheats while you’re looking for them, and you find them in the freezer next to the peas.
10. You cross your fingers that maybe tonight will be the night that your wife gets angry, and sends you to sleep on the couch.  Who could have thought the couch could seem so appealing?!
