Take her out to a romantic dinner, go for a walk in the park, take her out to the food street for her favourite chat etc. Make sure she is comfortable and assured of your support and care.

Assure her
You wife can become moody during pregnancy thinking of the pain and procedures of child birth. You have to deal with it by assuring, every now and then, it is going to be alright and reassuring her of your support till the very end. If you are a strong hearted man, assure your wife of your presence in the delivery room to hold her hand during the delivery.
