Do you "milk" your pregnancy?

Elmo12 · March 2012

I almost feel guilty making DH do stuff for me, like taking DS when I'm tired or doing extra cleaning around the house. He is good about backrubs though :P I wonder if I should be "milking" the pregnancy more and making him do more stuff... like a bag of sea salt and vinegar potato chips sounds SOOO good right now.

I'm saving my "milking" for later on in the pregnancy. I don't want to burn DH out too early! But the backrubs right now are the one big thing I ask for right now!

Definitely not milking anything. If I'm really feeling sick or REALLY tired, I'll ask DH to help out or take DD for a while, but he works all day from 3-11 pm so he's not home that much as it is and I feel bad making him work when he's been at work all day. I only ask for help if I physically can't handle something myself. Probably later on in the pregnancy I'll need him more.

I am a little, but SO likes to spoil me anyway. I'm just so damn tired...

DH and I have been together long enough he pretty much reads me. Unfortunately he works out of town 3 weeks at a time so when hes home he always takes over the house hold chores minus all the cooking. If I ever really want something that requires him to go out I say 'honey doesn't a butterfinger blast from Sonic sound good". Thats his all time favorite and he will leave no matter what time or what the weather is.

I don't really crave much thats not already have in the house. However I was out of jalapenos the other day and he did go get those for me.

I think the biggest thing I've asked DH to do so far is to bring me home a 1/2 Chocolate 1/2 Shamrock shake from McDonald's. He plays the pregnant wife card when he asks for it so he can get sympathy from the people at McDonald's.

It can be tempting...I hear a lot of friends say...'I'm pregnant, not disabled' when people try to help. Makes me wonder how I will react as I progress. Salt and Vinegar yummmy

I don't clean the cat box (haha and she's MY cat) and I generally lazy around at night while H makes dinner, but he is pretty understanding. I haven't been asking for random things that I make him go get (though, last time around I did ask for Arby's curly fries, Wendy's Frosty and a BK cheese burger -- and he complied!) but I don't see him fighting that when the time comes.

I'm not milking it yet but I'm sure I will need to soon. In fact, I feel the opposite, DH asked me to help him carry a grill up steps and move a bookshelf...ummm hello I thought I shouldn't be lifting heavy objects?
