On the one hand... a woman's core strength is proven in her ability to become pregnant, give birth and care for the child afterward. There is no question that women have to be very strong to handle all this. That is true.
On the other hand... Ryan is pointing out that AM is very challenging and stressful for guys during the first 2-4 stages, and is probably thinking that that stress on top of everything else may be difficult to deal with, or create a hormonal situation which is not optimal for the baby.
The fact of the matter is, AF is not AM. They are built in very different ways because females are very different creatures, with very different needs, points of view and challenges.
There is an increase in stress possible for AF, but I can't think of anything really that would be a problem for AF on a pregnant woman, unless she is perhaps caught in a situation where she is literally unable to achieve what AF is pushing her to achieve. Which seems pretty unlikely. And even then... a lot of pregnant women deal with stress as it is.
It does make specific reference to regulating the cycle and balancing the hormones to assist with mood and handling PMS/menstruation... but that doesn't seem like it would make much difference, aside from possibly balancing her hormones...
