??? The same as he ever does.

It took him a lot of adjustment to understand that hormones really mess with me and to quit taking things personally and to be a little kinder in the way he speaks (he’s got a naturally loud voice and in pretty sensitive)

Like he should. If he didn’t? 🤜 👨

More or less the same as always. He might be a little more understanding, more willing to do things for me, but I also don't ask him to make much accommodation for me since I hate being treated as an invalid. The only time I really ask for much from him is at the end of my pregnancies, when I'm in pain and/or suffering from complications

This is my first pregnancy. Overall I feel that mine and my husband’s relationship is the same. However two things that stick out to me differently are 1. He is much more worried about me and 2. He likes how my body is changing and is much more accepting and excited about my body changes than I am. My husband is a wildland firefighter and he has been in New Mexico for the last week and half. I feel like he was scared to leave me at home this time which I have never experienced before in our 8 year relationship (except for last year when we were evacuated during the Caldor fire). I also feel like he asks how I’m doing and how the baby is doing every day which is nice to know he cares. In regards to my body changes I think he is so excited to know the baby is growing and finds the small weight gain attractive which is nice for me when I am feeling self conscious about how I look.

My husband has been very supportive, no surprise there. He's definitely more cautious of me doing certain things and not over-exerting myself. When I need to sleep he doesn't bother me, and encourages me to rest when I need to. Energy wise this pregnancy has taken a toll, so napping for 2-3 hours has been normal. He's probably taken on a bit more of the house chores/animal duties, and has been very accommodating with my random cravings. Basically, he's been treating me mostly the same, but also taking on extra, if that makes sense.

Same- loving and considerate- but with this not being first pregnancy a bit more able to show support and anticipate some of my needs - he is able to do that normally- so as my needs grow so does his care.

First one wasn’t rough- but I think he was more clueless about what was happening to my body and I was too, so I didn’t always know how to communicate what I needed.

Wether it is going well or not - communication is so needed. I know our bodies are going through a lot of work and hormones… but I don’t think that excuses is from being reciprocal with our care or neglecting our partners- I think that is what I learned - the communication is for both parties.

@beach2mtns2desert Thank you to your dh for fighting the fires in my state! I am honestly very emotional thinking about some of the families we know that have evacuated and also thinking that your dh had to leave his family to help. It has been a very tough time here, but I can't imagine what it is like to be dealing with it first hand.

Yeah - similar to all of you dh treats me basically the same, but tries to be even more affectionate/flexible than usual. Our one challenge is that both of us are up on some deadlines this month and it has made life stressful. We are both really trying to keep our connection strong even when it has been so hard.

My husband has been more or less treating me the same, except he won't let me lift anything heavy. Like if we are shopping and bought something that comes in a heavy box, he refuses to let me lift it (Not complaining!!) He is also obsessed with my growing belly. I am a skinny person (like I was slightly underweight pre-pregnancy) and he is just loving the fact that I have a belly that sticks out now. I love that man

For the most part the same. He always really sweet and thoughtful. I suppose he's a bit more affectionate and tries to take care of me even more. He's constantly checking on my well-being and worries more about me over-doing things.

ponyoisfun · May 2022

@ashnicell That is so sweet. Now that it is our third and dh knows I will not stop digging giant holes for trees in the backyard or moving large bags of soil he just lets me, but if I complain then he gets mad that I didn't ask for help.
