I wish that men could experience one day of being 9+months pregnant...

  Why is it that men can act like total babies when they have one bad night of sleep, a stuffy nose, etc. ?  Then, when a pregnant lady voices a discomfort, it's all "ooooohhhh, don't upset the hormonal pregnant lady!".  Grrrrr....  I wish men had to experience just 24 hours of being hugely pregnant!

    My DH is completely clueless.  If I complain about my hips or back hurting, he always says (without fail and completely seriously), "Why?"  But then if he gets less than 7 hours of sleep he whines all day about being tired.  I would KILL for 7 hours these days!

    Yes!  DH has a head cold and he is acting like he is going to die.  While I haven't had a decent nights sleep in months, my back hurts non-stop and I have freaking heartburn EVERYDAY!  They just don't understand.

    Men aren't strong enough to handle pregnancy. That's why women carry the babies.

    Agreed! 

    Disclaimer: my DH has been absolutely wonderful and has understood what it takes to be pregnant, but it'd still be nice for men to actually FEEL it all.

    My childbirth class instructor had all the dads put a 25lb backpack on backwards like a belly and then she asked each of them to do different things... she had DH sit down and try to tie his shoes... LOL I remind him of this whenever he whines about having a headache!

      My husband has been mostly great, but this morning I almost lost it.  He wants us to do all of this stuff on Saturday, and I just can't.  I get 2 days a week to relax, and when I only sleep tiny amounts each night, I count on my Saturday afternoon naps.  If we have to go out with friends on Saturday night, I don't want to do stuff during the day!!!  I was telling him that I'd rather meet him out on Sat. night after he finishes up all of his other plans, and he's like "why don't you come with me''.  I was like "you don't really understand how exhausted I am, do you?", and he was like "whatever...".  Grrr!  Not a good start to the day.

    Men would have an epidural going from the first 6 weeks until delivery if they were pregnant and not us
