Women who’ve been pregnant have plenty of jokes, gripes and random musings to share about the experience. Apparently the same is true of men whose partners have been pregnant.
Over the years, expectant fathers have tweeted about those memorable months leading up to the birth of the baby with their signature dad humour and a dash of earnestness. Here, we’ve rounded them up.
Sticking a margarita in my pregnant wife's face and saying "ain't no fun if the baby can't have none" didn't go over as well as I'd hoped.

When my wife was pregnant she used to gently nudge me awake in the middle of the night and whisper “I will fucking get you for this”

Before my wife became pregnant, I always assumed Braxton Hicks was a country music artist.

I had my pregnant wife hold my beer as I went to the bathroom...

my wife *embarassed*: but now people will know we had sex
My son told my pregnant wife she should swallow some toys so his unborn brother could play with them. He's a genius as far as I'm concerned.

PRO TIP
— Will Rodgers (@WilliamRodgers) September 14, 2019
When your angry, hungry, hormonal, pregnant, wife asks you, “Where do you want to eat?”
“I dunno, probably separate rooms...”
Is NOT the right answer...
WIFE: I’m pregnant.
— The Dad (@thedad) July 10, 2020
ME: Me too.
WIFE: No, that’s—this isn’t a one-upping thing.
ME: It’s twins.
Wife: Does this dress make me look pregnant?
— James Breakwell, Exploding Unicorn (@XplodingUnicorn) April 7, 2015
Me: No, you look good.
Wife: So I don't look good when I'm pregnant?
Me: *flees the country*
“I’m pregnant”

Turns out suggesting your wife pretend she’s pregnant and designated drive is a poor choice for Retro Date Night

I was reading to my kids today and in the story, there was a pregnant woman.
— A Bearer Of Dad News🇬🇾 (@HomeWithPeanut) October 7, 2019
My 3 year-old asked, "What happened to her belly?"
I replied, "There's a baby in there."
3 was horrified; "She ate a baby?!"
Sensing a good opportunity, I said "Yes."
Sleep well tonight, kid.
My wife still brings up that one time in 2015 I complained of tired legs while she was in labor

Apparently it doesn't matter how big the burrito was you're still not allowed to compare it to being pregnant. #Dadlife #TheMoreYouKnow

Watching my twin toddlers push and wrestle for space in the double shopping cart at the grocery store, it's pretty clear why TwinzerMom was so uncomfortable toward the end of her pregnancy. #Dadlife #Parenting #Momlife

5-year-old: What happens if the baby pees?

Wife: [pregnant] We’re not naming her after a donut
Me: Technically, an éclair is a French pastry — not a donut. The distinction-
Wife: Still no
After a long conversation with my wife I now admit that “buckle the fuck up, buttercup” was probably not the best response to our friends announcing their first pregnancy.

Me: How was your first day without coffee?
— Robert Knop (@FatherWithTwins) October 16, 2020
Wife: Fine. Remember I quit cold turkey when I was pregnant
Me: Yeah, but you tried to stab me
Wife: No, I didn’t
Me: I guess a lack of coffee causes memory loss
Sure, when my new baby is born I will be very happy. But on the other hand, I'll have to stop making pregnant wife jokes.
— Jack's Dad (@DaddingAround) February 21, 2018
So yeah. Mixed feelings.#parenting #PregnantWife
Serena Williams won a grand slam tennis tournament while pregnant and I didn't feel like getting out of bed last week because I had a cold.
