In all honesty, do you think your DH/SO....

tre777 · May 2010

Could handle being pregnant?

Why or why not??

doremi29 · May 2010

hahahahaha....absolutely not!!! He looks like a big tough guy, but in reality he's the biggest baby! He couldn't handle the aches and pains and would be the biggest whiner ever. Great question!

mrs.messi · May 2010

No way! He is the biggest baby when he is sick...I don't even want to imagine him with m/s!

Bandia12 · May 2010

Definately

. He's a tough cookie lol. He's pretty strong minded, and not as big of a baby as I am. Honestly, if he could carry him instead of me.. I'm sure he would.

xDanniellex · May 2010

In our current situation, I'd say no. He works a FT 3rd shift job, and a PT job a few days a week while I'm SAHW (ie. unemployed).

I'm not sure how he'd handle the puking, constant nightly visits to the bathroom, plus all the aches and pains that disrupt my sleep. I'm not sure he'd be able to hold off on complaining as much as I have. I don't think I'd want to see that.

CarolinaKatie · May 2010

NOOOOO! OMG, any minor injury is major to my DH. He tells everyone about it, carries on for weeks and weeks, ugh. Love him to pieces, but he's a tough guy baby!!!

cheex090 · May 2010

NO, haha. He's a big baby. He'd be complaining constantly...I'm sure of it.

kirkette · May 2010

Yes, he's a trooper.

*speedracer* · May 2010

no. he can barely handle a runny nose.

Qmommy · May 2010

No. He was questioning baby carriers because he said that carrying the baby in one "might hurt his back!" I just looked at him and pointed to my big belly and said, "a baby in a carrier can be taken off if your back starts getting sore, I can't take this off and I have more than just a baby in there!!" haha

I think the world would be a lot less populated if men had to be pregnant.

MMcLean05 · May 2010

Not even close.

ITA!!!!!?

Kimmy1836 · May 2010

I actually do.

I think he would probably complain way more me, but he could handle it.

No way! He whines like a baby when he is sick. He had a little cold last year and took a week off of work!

CMSullivan326 · May 2010

I honestly think he could...I think he'd complain some, but no more than I do...Pregnancy I think he can handle, now the labor pain, that's a COMPLETELY different story!!! LOL!

mocklerja · May 2010

beccaga16:

Being pregnant: Yes

Being in labor/giving birth: Not so much.

Yes Yes

moonrose2715 · May 2010

Yes and no.

He is the biggest whiner about all the little stuff, or even big stuff once he acknowledges it, but is pretty strong minded when he chooses to be.

So I suspect for the first tri at least he would do nothing but complain, but at some point I think his will would take over and he would handle it. Then probably start whining again at the end...

Ha- sounds like me these days though! I'm done with all the little crap!

MrsBraun · May 2010

Nope - he can't handle a head cold, let alone growing a baby! I soooo wish he knew what it felt like though!

Lolabug86 · May 2010

I think if it were the way of things and he HAD to, he could. However, I think he's pretty grateful that is me and not him! Stick out tongue

Dreamsicle23 · May 2010

I think the only thing my DH couldn't handle is not having a beer for 9 months.

jo_womo · May 2010

I would love to see it happen... lol!! that would be funny

MKinney86 · May 2010

HA! No, I love him but the man can't even handle a headache without getting moody.

KRB8 · May 2010

No way! He's a Marine but the second he gets a mild cold it's like the end of the world. No one could possibly have a cold like him. Although he has been subjected to a lot of pain when he had rotator cuff surgery earlier this year but he got to take percocets.

The Future Mrs. Rhodus · May 2010

lol this is a great question! I actually do think DF could handle it.

LMAO!!?

mrs.mickulz · May 2010

HELLLL, no! DH is a baby when he's sick, so I can imagine him going through all the other symptoms. He's not convinced we'll have another one after this, because he hates seeing me sick and in pain. If he had to do it himself- YIKES!

whatever496 · May 2010

Um hell to the no. My dh couldnt be selfless for that long- or deal with the gestational diabetes, emotions, or anything really...

susie985 · May 2010

No! My DH is the biggest whiner there is and you know nothing is as bad for anyone else as it is for him.

mbear511 · May 2010

I honestly think he could hack it, he's pretty tough. The day after he had shoulder surgery he was out and about so yes.

Mini_Mariah · May 2010

NO! He can't handle being sick with a minor head cold, there is no way he could handle being pregnant!

amw804 · May 2010

NO FREAKIN WAY!!!!!! He can't handle the flu or a 2 year old with a splinter!

JhawkCE · May 2010

He could handle it.....as long as he didn't have to give up beer.

I have a feeling that I and the people at his work wouldn't like it so much though. He is very grouchy when he doesn't feel well. It's probably better for our marriage if I handle the pregnancy.

Bride2bMO · May 2010

LOL, sure. He's much tougher than me.

However, breastfeeding and getting up a million times with a newborn, not so sure. I think he underestimates the physical and emotional toll that takes on you. He's been doing overnight duty with our toddler whose been having nightmares and staying up for an hour or two in the middle of the night, and DH seems very exhausted by it.

Thumper83 · May 2010

I'm not going to be one to judge...after all, I don't think I am handling being pregnant very well.

yukibaby · May 2010

What a great question! I'm sure my hubby would be able it but don't think I'd be able to cope with it since I can only handle a few days of him being sick (which unfortunately is all the time) So bad I know but its definitely better this way around!

Devonanne · May 2010

I don't think he could handle our pregancy. Bedrest is hard and he like to be doing something all the time. I think if I had a "normal" pregancy he would be able to deal, he would just have a hard time giving up drinking.

anvloveskme · May 2010

NO WAY!!! DH had some minor oral surgery a few months back (seriously, it was like a 30 min procedure, but he was put under general). He was such a wussy and a cranky ass afterwards. I got him soup, jello, pudding and ice cream and even cooked for him and he was just a mess! He would NEVER survive a pregnancy! Plus, giving up beer for 9 months would be quite a stretch for him ;o)
