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

    In all honesty because of his type of work, no. Plus, he would drive me nuts because he doesn't handle aches and pains very well.

    I think he could handle it, but the no beer and eating healthy deal would kill him.

    Yeah, he could definitely handle pregnancy. He deals with worse aches and pains all the time since his job is physical and demanding. The hormonal/emotional side he wouldn't deal with well,  but then again, I don't think I do either.

    Labor and delivery on the other hand... I dunno. He's pretty tough and very determined.

    Honestly, and I would NEVER admit this to him, I totally think he could. He's a tough guy and he is very sympathetic towards me whenever I am feeling like sh*t. Also, when I had m/s and couldn't get out of bed for the first few months he was AWESOME. I don't know why that makes me think that he could do it but I am pretty confident that he could.

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

     This exactly!  Although I have my doubts he could handle any of it.

    Not a chance!  My DH is skinny as could be.  My weight fluctuates.  He is always confused as to why I can't stay constant (not is bad way, just in a bewildered fashion).

    DH likes things to always be the same - ALWAYS - the body changes in pregnancy would cause heart failure.

    He's totally creeped out by the moving baby thing...he gets all heebie jeebie when she moves. 

    He has to sleep his 8 hours - the night time kicks would cause major issues.

    Did I mention the smell/taste issues?  He is into some weird foods, but when I was on the 5 year old diet, he just was completely confused...

    Nope...not a chance.

    No--he has been trying to quit smoking since I found out I was pregnant (and even a few times before that, he sort of tried).  I don't think he would be able to make the sudden lifestyle change that would be necessary.  I do think he could handle the physical part of it though, he's a second degree black belt and can usually work through pain.  He'd probably complain a lot though--he had a toothache a few months ago and you would have thought the world would come to an end.

    Yes, but he would complain incessantly.  I don't think he could handle giving birth though.
