  My husband is exactly like this.  Nothing is WRONG, I'm PREGNANT!  I feel like crap.  Same as every day.  Your stupid veal patties make me retch, stop asking me to give you a blow job because it is SO not happening, and YES, i'm tired and need a nap simply because i'm pregnant.

  It's a guy thing unfortunately. I was asleep on the couch yesterday afternoon and he woke me so I could give my approval on the project he was working on. Really?! I don't wake your ass from a dead sleep unless the house is on fire.

  Ahhh, DH does this. So annoying. When I take deep breaths he jumps and asks me whats wrong, why am I mad. I keep trying to explain to him that as I get bigger, sometimes I need to just take in a few deep breaths to get in some oxygen because I get short of breath. I'm not mad. I'm not irritated. I'm TRYING TO GET SOME OXYGEN. I even read an article to him about why pregnant women get shortness of breath and he still thinks I'm mad when I do it. He also gives me the side eye when I drink my mini-can of diet coke "because the lady at the prenatal class said no caffeine." I have to remind him that she also said to give your wife foot rubs whenever she wants them and somehow he doesn't follow that! lol.

  lmao, I gave DH one the other day. First one since I've been pregnant. I totally stretched a muscle in my jaw and ear and it still hurts. I told DH no more BJ's for him...Make sure you do some pre-jaw stretches before you give it up ladies!

  My H was this was when I was pg with DD.  This time around he's much more sensitive.  I think watching me go through L&D was enough for  him to understand that pregnancy is not a walk in the park.  I hope he gets more understanding for you.

  It is really frustrating when our SO's seem to not understand why we feel so....ick.  But, at least your FI asks whats wrong.  It might get annoying that he asks all the time, but in his own way, he might be asking "what can I do."  Which is a LOT better than a lot of SO's on here.  They don't understand or 'get it' because they can't- its not physically possible.  I have to keep reminding myself that (especially by the time my DH got home I was sacked out on the couch and he didn't understand why I was so tired all the time).  Get him a pregnancy book for expectant fathers or let him read your book, it will give him and independent understanding of what is going on with your body and why you feel the way you do!
