Take her bust for instance. My partner’s boobs weren’t just any boobs. They deserved to be labeled an Eighth Natural Wonder of the World. And I’m sure most men with expectant partners would feel the same way. The sight of a pair of gorgeous pregnant breasts is enough to motivate just about any man to be at their partner’s beck and call, even if it involves midnight trips to satisfy cravings.

And then there’s her stomach. A tiny little bump at first, that soon becomes the source of all sorts of vicious cravings. Whether its’ gherkins, oysters or anything else, your main duty soon becomes giving it whatever it needs… at whatever time of day it might need it!! A pregnant tummy commands respect. Not because it makes people give up their bus seat, but because it’s damn sexy. It makes you want to hold it, caress it and snuggle up in the wee hours of the morning. And when I talk about my girl’s pregnant tummy I’m not talking about the massive, cumbersome load that is most commonly associated with late pregnancy. I’m talking about a bump that grew, in my eyes anyway, more beautiful as each week of pregnancy went by. Combined with her gorgeous bust, I could only think of one word – Wow!

During the last 3 months – which seem like an eternity to every pregnant woman, but that fly by all too quickly if you’re the one lusting after your pregnant partner, it was the hardest thing in the world to keep my hands off her. I wanted to show her off, show the world how beautiful she was. Not every man revels in their partner’s pregnancy as much as I did. Something I heard often from mates was how sex wasn’t as enjoyable now that she was pregnant. How having sex might “damage” the baby. As such, the poor woman was left feeling thoroughly undesirable. What a pity.

If you’re pregnant you should get it out there, show it off, and flaunt it. There’s absolutely no reason why you should hide your body, or let other people make you feel unattractive or undesirable. Your pregnancy bump is a fashion accessory, and a symbol of all that is good in the world – love, excitement and the stuff that dreams are made of.

It’s such a shame that so many couples don’t appreciate pregnancy for what it is. Nine months isn’t long, but it’s the only time you’ll have to enjoy what it means to be pregnant. And at the end of it all, you’ll be able to hold your gorgeous baby in your arms. Someone wise said that you don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone, and a lot of people feel that way with pregnancy. They only realize how important the experience of pregnancy was in the late stages. If you feel this way, it’s natural to wonder what things are going to be like once your baby arrives. And the good news is it only gets better.

MIRROR her signals. If she turns herbody towards yours, turn your body towards hers. Don’t make eye contact while you do it – otherwise you’ll look calculating.

APPROACH her from the side. This makes you less threatening and increases her interest.

KEEP your eyes above her neck.

WAIT for a break in conversation. Forget clever lines. Say hi. Give her your name. Ask for hers. Talk to her like a relative you actually get along with. She’s reluctant? Don’t give up. Both men and women are overly ready to think they’re being rejected.

LEAVE – briefly. Don’t promise to be back; just say “Excuse me a minute, I have to catch up with my friend. It was great meeting you.”

RETURN to your pals for 10 minutes. Stay out of her line of sight. Every now and then let her see you.

APPROACH her again

ASK her if she’s thirsty. If she has met someone else, act relieved instead of jealous. The more the merrier. Calmly evaluate her response to the other fellow. He probably has nothing on you.

REEL HER IN. Once you’re in the group, ask her to lean in – there’s something you don’t want others to hear.

THINK of something

SAY: “You’re probably just killing time until your boyfriend gets here.”

RUN OFF with her if she laughs and shakes her head. Ask her to sit at a booth, away from the crowd. Take it from here.
