A man is a social animal His life divided into four phases according to our Vedas. The four phases are: Brahmacharya (student), Grihastha (householder), Vanaprastha (retired) and Sannyasa (renunciation). In the second stage of life : Grihastha , one looks for his partner to settle. The partner gives emotional support undoubtedly. Then comes the blessings of “two” strips of satisfaction, that is, pregnancy.
Pregnancy not only gives responsibilities to a woman but also to a man. Responsibilities of being a father , to earn more for his offspring. To secure a financial future for family.
But pregnancy is as difficult as you have heard about it! A complete term of thirty six to forty weeks.When the ownership of a body of someone transfers to an alien residing in it. But this alien is awaited each and every moment! A would be mother nurtures with blessings and lots of care.
But there is another side to the coin as well. There are pet peeves. This term simply means something that a particular person finds annoying.
