The Winning entries are below.
Solange Thomas: I think they would actually do a good job. I think it would become a sport. They would make it competitive and use it as a badge of honour. We would have much more favourable laws, too, regarding maternal health care. It’s a pretty powerful experience to bring life into the world. I think men would value life more if they experienced it.
Clare Gobin: I would nourish my pregnant husband with vitamin-rich morsels, massage his back twice a day while he rested. I would tell him how handsome he was, make love to him in the afternoon, hold him non-stop when he cried. And he would push me away, reaching for the remote control.
Fran Light: I would eat, and eat and eat … well, it’s not possible for a man to get pregnant so I’d have to be dreaming, and if I was dreaming I would be able to eat as much as I liked without getting fat, because dream calories don’t cause weight gain!
Kayleigh Cassidy: I would feel relieved that he fell pregnant and not me. I’m very squeamish and think labour would be horrible, I would be glad to be the one sat on the other side of the bed, telling him to take deep breaths, ‘it’s gunna be okay’.
Alison Maclean: I would be more than a bit surprised but it would be good that he finally understood what it was like to have a baby!
Martina Pichova: If my boyfriend feel pregnant, he wouldn’t cope and I would be the one looking after him. I would probably envy him because I think pregnancy is the time when you start bonding with your child and I would miss out on it.
Andrew Cakebread: Quite shocked and possibly ill. Not sure I would be able to cope with that type of pain!
Elisabeth Pritchard: Wouldn’t it be wonderful for him to understand. I would love for him to feel that roller-coaster of hormones that I have to endure every month. To watch him ache, comfort eat, cry for no reason. It would be nice for him to understand.
Sarah Tilley: I think it would be brilliant as it would mean that I wouldn’t have to go through childbirth myself nor would I have to worry about stretch marks, sore boobs and all the other delights of pregnancy. Bring it on I say!
Norah Sinclair: I would feel astonished, then rather jealous and finally, when I’d has time to think about it a bit more, I’d feel very sorry for him. I’d remember morning sickness and puffy ankles. I’d remember clothes I loved no longer fitting. Mostly I’d remember he’s a granddad!
Laura Jones: I think I would be pleased as it would be interesting for men to experience pregnancy and childbirth but by the same token it would be good for women to experience it from a man’s side, fair’s fair after all. Maybe it’s best after all for women to stick to what they are good at – men probably couldn’t stand the pain!
