1st Trimester

How have your husbands changed?

My husband has changed so much since we found out we were pregnant!

He has started "micro managing me".. his words not mine! He reads every label of every thing we look at in the grocery store. He bought books already and I only told him last Friday! Every night when we're going to sleep, he asks me if I've taking my pre-natal vitamins. This morning I was getting dressed for work, putting on a stretchy pencil skirt that I've had for years, and he said "don't squish the bean!" I was already pulling it up over my little bump!

I love how he is being so protective! Thoughts from other expectant Mommies?

Re: How have your husbands changed?

  • My husband has been the same way! haha  It's very cute! :)

    He's even cleaning the cat box without me reminding him, which is pretty exciting!  That is one chore I will not miss over these next few months!!! :P

  • Mine is the same way! But its starting to drive me nuts.... I thought it was cute for a couple weeks, but now he's come up with his own list of things I can't eat. (I don't think there is any scientific evidence behind his restrictions, he has created this all on his own.)  I'm literally justifying everything I now eat to him and trying to explain that it is OKAY for my to UNLOAD THE GROCERIES!!!! Seriously? A bag with bread in it? I can totally handle.... we'll see how he is when I'm on kid #3 and lugging around the other 2 while pregnant. Hopefully he'll have lightened up by then!

  • Super cute! My husband is acting similar to yours.  I've been trying to get him to eat healthier for years now (less soda, chips, fast-food, etc) and this pregnancy seems to be doing the trick.  He now goes walking with me and doesn't nag about it.  Now to get him to wash the dishes, lol! Best wishes ladies!
  • More caring maybe? IE like you drinking enough? you need to rest. helping more on house duties...

  • Mine has been very sweet, but trying to seem hands off. ;) He'll make little comments here and there (ie. make sure you're drinking lots of water) but I know he's trying not to be too all over me about it. My favorite thing is that he's totally into going for walks with me. I have shared with him that one of my biggest goals is to stay healthy and fit - and he's really taken to being very supportive. Mind you, we're just getting started being at 6 weeks, so I'm not sure how long this will last ;) but I'll take it for now! ;)

  • I'm really sorry about the double post. The "system" won't let me delete it. Consider me overly enthusiastic that DH is pretty great? ;)

    Oops! 

  • Just being a lot more considerate of me and my needs/feelings. When he goes to the kitchen for anything he always asks if I want something, he is helping a lot more with DS in the evenings and on the weekend, he is very protective of my non existent bump already..when I change DS diaper he tends to kick me in the stomach, DH sits there and tells him that he needs to be nice to his little brother or sister. haha.

  • Mine isn't quite over the top at reading labels but he's very attentive to my new dietary needs when we eat out or if he's preparing dinner. He makes sure I'm drinking enough water and staying hydrated. He's also cutting me a lot of slack on my normal household stuff I do and he's picking up some chores he doesn't usually do. And overall I'm getting a lot more "how are you feeling?" which is nice. I'm definitely liking the extra attention.

  • my DH is being really sweet...  Always kissing my stomach and checking if I need anything.   He tells me to rest and only sorta makes fun of me for falling asleep at 8 every night.   I think he's been just as emotional as me though.  The other day I actually walked into the bathroom and caught him crying.  He said he was afraid he wouldn't be able to "provide" for me and the baby everything we needed.

  • I'm glad you all think it's sweet, but honestly, that would mostly just piss me off if my DH tried to tell me what I can or can't eat or whatnot! He mostly just jokes that I am now going to blame everything on the baby, like dropping things, being too tired to do stuff, haha! Of course this is our second, but even with our first I think it wasn't real for him until I really began showing which took till around 6 months. The only overprotectiveness I recall was him telling me to slow down while driving. And his claim that every time I took so much as one sip of his beer (didn't even do this till the 3rd trimester) that the baby was growing 3 heads!

  • My hubby has been really cute as well, sometimes a little over the top though. My job is in the wine industry and I still have to keep on top of tasting wine almost every day. I spit everything back out so none is actually being drunk by me but you should hear hubby! "You're not allowed that!", this extends to me even casting a glance at lunch meat (which I haven't touched since TTC), soft cheese (ditto, haven't touched it), and a long list of things! 

    Its a bit hard when you're in control of your own body for almost your whole life and then after you're pregnant hubby takes it upon himself to be the eating police. I just try to laugh though :)

    He did ask me to get him a parenting book for dads so he can understand better whats going on, it was so cute I gave him a big hug.

    Its very sweet seeing those things!
