S/O Preg. Card

Thusadeedoo

Once you became pg did your DH buy it when you told him you couldnt do things or were too tired etc. because you were pg? I feel like if/when I get KU my DH would fall for anything I told him.

Mine became much more protective of me and didn't want me doing much of anything. He suddenly wanted to be the one to carry the laundry basket downstairs, etc. We went to NYC for the weekend when I was about 8 weeks pregnant, and he kept yelling at me to walk on the inside of the sidewalk so that I wasn't too close to bus exhaust fumes. I was like, Honey, people live here full time and have healthy babies. I'll be fine.

He had very little sympathy at first.  I think neither of us realized how exhausted I would be in 1st Tri, and he was a bit annoyed at times.  Now that I'm feeling better, he has more patience with me when I say I can't do something.

Same as Writer!  I didnt have to try to get him to believe anything because he wouldnt let me do anything!  It was nice! LOL  I also got a back rub every night... ohh those were the days!

I'm not KU but I can see DH not being very sympathetic or realizing how tired I will be.  Too bad we cant put them through it just for ONE day!

he's not really buying it.   Although, he will carry the heavy Dyson up and down the stairs for me.

Mine has been okay.  Sometimes he's extra sweet, other times when he gets home and I'm nearly asleep on the couch at 8pm he makes comments like "you're already tired?"  I just give him the evil eye and he shapes right up.

I don't see my DH buying it until I'm further along. Though he will be carrying the vacuum up the stairs and changing the litter box weekly, no matter how much he bitches about it!

Not remotely. His sister the AW is pregnant and has been a complete drama queen about every tiny detail of pregnancy since before she even knew she was KU, so now he thinks anything I say is just an overreaction as well (despite me being less dramatic in every way).?

He knows there are things I can't/shouldn't do (move heavy stuff, clean cat box) but things like not wanting to go up and down the stairs five times back to back or needing to nap he deems as me being whiney. ?

I can imagine DH will be more protective and attentive of me than he already is. I might not have to play the pregnancy card at all with him except to get the takeout food I want, hehe His brother's wife was extremely tired very early on in pregnancy so he's already sensitive about that.

Yes! But my DH has always been very sweet and did things for me. He was very sympathetic to the fact that food disgusted me, I never cooked (not that I did before) I never cleaned, I just worked, came home, tried to eat something, then slept. Poor guy stays up watching TV all night while I sleep at 8pm! I love him!

Mine was sweet.  He believed everything I said but I think he felt like I was a little lazy at times.  Men can't understand how tired you are in the beginning.  They don't understand how something that is the size of a pea could possibly make you tired.
