Is your hubby acting as if your injured?

lynnhasfaith · May 2010

Hi - I went to turn the grill (bbq) on last night and he freaked out! don't turn the grill on what if something happens? I was like are you serious? I cook on the grill 3 times a week for the last 5 years and now I can't grill w/o his help? I guess it's his protective side coming out! yikes ! it made me laugh afterwards. But geez!

just wanted to share.

thanks

My DH is the opposite... "You're pregnant, not sick!" Makes me want to knock him upside the head. I guess thats what I get for not having an Epidural with DD #1- now he thinks it's so much easier than what it is.

Not all the time but he has his moments. Yesterday I moved on the couch and something hurt in my abdomen and then later we went on a walk and it was still tender. I told him about it and he said, "Be careful with that, there's a baby in there."

princesscm99 · May 2010

Yup, mine too.

He asked me last night if I was SURE I could handle going to the store to get the dog food last night because the bags weighs a whole 25 pounds.

In his defense, when I got there and smelled all the dog smells I wish I would have sent him instead, so maybe he's onto something.

He's been very sweet, but not overbearing at all. That is just not his personality.

Mine too. I was napping the other day because I was DEAD tired and he actually woke me up to ask me why I was being "so lazy." He's lucky I didn't have the energy to get up and find a weapon.

Aww I think thats' sweet

Thats his family in there, so I can see why they'd be protective. For me my husband is adopted and his adopted father has passed, so this is his only blood relative. He's not overbearing and annoying but is super helpful. When I get up to pee in the middle of the night and I'm a little dizzy at first or I sigh (Because I HATE getting out of bed when I'm sleeping) He'll wake up and say 'Whats wrong!? Are you okay?! Here let me help you!'. Which I find cute because he's normally not THAT attentive.

I think it depends on his mood. There are certain things he won't let me do. But for the most part whenever i say i am sleepy or i am achy, he says so am i...

My hubby is a bit of both. One minute he says I need a shower chair so I don't slip and fall when I get a big belly (I'm not 80--i'm pregnant!), and the next second, when I say I am exhusted and sick, he basically tells me to suck it up. Oh well. They try, silly boys.

Ya right I wish...

Not so much my hubby (although I am banned from mowing the lawn) but other people. At work, one lady got onto me because *GASP* I was standing on a step stool to get something off a high shelf. Then another one yelled at me because I was walking too fast. Honestly, it annoyed me so much I ended up snapping and saying "I'm pregnant not broken" I was pretty irritated but they've backed off now.

I would have thrown something at DH had he said that!

Mine is more concerned about my temper and stress and what it might do. If I get too worked up about something, he tries to calm me down.

My hubby did this last night. It was my first midnight pee run. I also lost my eye mask and he spent a good 20 minutes finding it so I could sleep in in the morning.

Melissa Lynn · May 2010

My ms went away and then came back this weekend so I threw up both says... this morning I felt horrible and had to sit on a stool to curl my hair (instead of just standing at the sink). He told me he's worried and I should call in sick from work. Sweet- but if i called in for MS I would not have worked for the past 6 weeks!

On the other hand- he'll be out of town for work at the end of August (almost to the 3rd tri) and he thinks I should be able to carry our 50lb lab mix up and down the stairs every time I take her out to the bathroom (she has a bum knee).... yeah- I don't think so!

Not exactly... I have a really high tolerance for pain ... so I usually don't let him play the sick or hurt card very often! So in turn I don't get it back too much either!

But, when our dog (she's about 20 lbs) runs all over on the couch like she usually does he scold her if she gets close to my tummy.... and yesterday he even said, "Don't touch mommy!"

My DH is doing this with the cat...though he weighs less than 10lbs. Lol. Don't think baby cares right now.

hailey_marie_2006 · May 2010

Oh my sweetie hubby is just wonderful he trys to do everything for me! He wont even let me do the laundry anymore cause he says its to heavy! I love that man!

This. Boo. It annoyed the first time around, and now I miss it. : )

ashleywebber · May 2010

My hubby is awesome. We are having twins and you have to rest more, eat more, and there are more symptoms. He has been great with the m/s that lasted about 2 months (not making me cook, bringing home anything I requested, taking care of DS) and with any symptom he is considerate. He rubs my back, scratches me (I love to be scratched when I am sore/tired/don't feel well). He won't let me carry anything and puts the groceries away most of the time. He is helping out around the house which is really nice since I run out of energy pretty quick. He doesn't complain at all. I am blessed!

USArmyWifeToBe · May 2010

My DH is the opposite, he does everything for me! He cooks me dinner, he cleans, laundry, anything to make me rest & have an easier time. He's been sooo great!! Not to mention he works & I don't, i am cleaning today since I feel I have more energy today& I am having no m/s today.

USArmyWifeToBe · May 2010

Oh wait I misunderstood what you wrote, I misread it, yea my husband has been doing that too, but I guess ttc for 4 yrs does that to you, both of us are airing on the side of caution with EVERYTHING.

Myheart1297 · May 2010

That's cute that he wants to protect you. Mine on the other hand almost seems to almost forget that I am pg. I will ask him to do something and he gives me a look and then goes 'oh, ok, yeah'.

shredchic · May 2010

Yes, and I am taking full advantage. He had never even cooked a meal the whole time we were together until we found out I was pregnant. He's also been vacuuming, mopping, doing the dishes, etc. It is great. Even though I don't have morning sickness or nausea, I am exhausted, and I think he sees that. In my opinion, he is going overboard, but I am not complaining! Keep it up, hubs!

ericamichelle101 · May 2010

My husband was like that for about the first week. I've had bad m/s and been extremely tired so cooking, sex, and cleaning just sounds so not good to me. He has his days where he wants to take care of everything, but also has his days where I think he "forgets" that I have a baby growing in me. I think all in all he just does not understand it all

chrisncassie · May 2010

My DH is on both sides of the fence ...I almost wish he'd pick a side!!

One minute he's telling me how good it feels to get things off our To Do list...while I'm laying on the sofa feeling miserable ...but then later on he tells our DS "shhh mommies sleeping, she needs her rest"

Friday night we got into an arguement...well, more him yelling at me (long story), but in the end I was picking up boxes full of stuff, carrying them upstairs and what not and he says, "I hope you don't think you'll get sympathy if you have a miscarriage, no one is making you do that stuff" ...I came back with, "yeah I know, you wouldn't give a sh*t" ...Did I mention we were arguing ? But then Sunday I was doing some stuff and he's all, "here, let me get that for you, I don't want you over doing it" ...

KeyRyn320 · May 2010

Mine is the complete opposite. I was telling DH I was tired but, once the hormones calmed down, it would get better. DH says "You're not tired cuz you're pregnant!" Thank you Dr. DH for telling me about MY pregnancy!

Papa Bear's Bride · May 2010

DH acts like I'm made of glass at times when it comes to certain things, but if I insist on being OK he tends to back off with a comment like, "OK, but I'm just sayin' ... you know, that's my baby in there and I just want the best."

It makes it hard to be angry with him, but the sight of the shotgun in my hand generally gets the point across he needs to back off. (kidding!!!)
