Mark it on the calendar: I feel bad for Kim Kardashian. And after what the reality star had to say about becoming a mother, I'm betting every mom in America will too.

Turns out it's not all roses and clover for Kim and Kanye West right now.

Husbands. You can be amazing pillars of strength and support during our pregnancies, or you can make us want to rip our gorgeous prenatal locks out. We know you don't mean any harm (and that you can't possibly understand what we're going through when we're growing a human inside ourselves), but there are ways to go about things, dudes. We love you to death -- hey, so much we made a baby with you! -- but here are 12 things you should and shouldn't do when your wife is pregnant.

When you're pregnant, it's hard to imagine feeling anything but blissful when your baby arrives. However, due to hormones and other factors, many women just can't find that bliss. 

There's a big difference, however, between the baby blues and something more serious like postpartum depression and other mood disorders including postpartum anxiety, postpartum OCD, and postpartum PTSD that may require professional help. And it's important to know the difference.

But how can women know when they're in the midst of it if what they're feeling is "normal" or if they really need help? I spoke with Kristin B. Hodson, a psychotherapist, author, and founder of The Healing Group, to get some real-life examples of the difference between the two, with which both women and their families and friends should become familiar.

There are lots of wonderful things that come with motherhood: joy, excitement, a fierce protective instinct you didn't know you had, and the realization that, yes, unconditional love really does exist. Of course, all that doesn't come without some serious sacrifices. Sleep becomes a privilege as opposed to a right. Out goes the freedom to do what you want, when you want. But the most devastating change when you join the mommyhood? You will lose friends. It's true. I speak from experience and this is completely unavoidable.

A 30-year-old lacrosse coach who was pregnant with her second child died in a bus crash as her college team was on its way to a game. It's a tragedy that makes every mom feel like weeping.

Kristina Quigley, a coach of Seton Hill University's lacrosse team, was the only passenger of 23 to die when the bus slid off the Pennsylvania Turnpike and slammed into a tree early Saturday morning. The 61-year-old driver was also killed.

The college girls' team was on its way to play a game at Millersville University. Quigley, who was six months pregnant and has a young son, was flown to the hospital but died later of her injuries. And honestly, just writing this story makes my eyes fill with tears and my heart break for this woman with so much ahead of her, for her family, and for her unborn baby -- who never had the chance to live.

If you don't believe in miracles, this story just may change your mind. A Manhattan mom jumped from her eighth-floor apartment window with her infant son strapped to her chest. The woman, who landed on her back, died from her injuries, but the 10-month-old survived, only experiencing few scratches. It's probably the one bright spot in this horrific tragedy that has so many people asking, "Why?" It seems that police may already have the answer to that. Cynthia Wachenheim left behind a 13-page, handwritten suicide note that indicated she was suffering from postpartum depression. Some may say that's no excuse for attempting to take her helpless son's life too, but what people have to understand is that she was battling a very real illness that afflicts about 13 percent of all pregnant women and new moms.

Two weeks ago Jamie-Lynn Sigler, 31, announced via Twitter that she was engaged to her boyfriend of nearly a year, 23-year-old baseball player Cutter Dykstra. Yesterday came a follow up announcement that they're expecting.

Sigler plays a mom on NBC's Guys With Kids, but apparently the pregnancy came as a bit of a shock. If she was caught off guard, she'll likely be brought up to speed real quick by her best friend, actress JoAnna Garcia who happens to be expecting a baby girl in May with her baseball player husband, Nick Swisher. In fact, it was Garcia who introduced Sigler and Dykstra in the first place. Adorable, right?

There's something incredibly special about having a close friend who is pregnant at the same time that you are. Even better if they're a little further along and can reassure you that, yes, it's normal for your boobs to swell to a size E or for you to want to take a nap right after you wake up in the morning.

When the baby you're expecting dies just a few days before he or she is due it's devastating for the parents. You mourn. You wonder how to go on with your life. And then -- there's something I'd never thought about before: There's all the beautiful baby gifts and gear that will never be used by the child who just died.

A Dad told a story about the stuff left behind when his daughter died. His wife was staying a few days in the hospital, and he wanted to quickly clear their apartment of the baby gear. It would only make her heartbreak worse. There was the big, expensive stroller he had just bought at Babies 'R' Us. It was still in its box. He would have to return it. It symbolized so much to him.
