how do i convince husband that being pregnant is no walk in the park?

maymommie

Im a little irritated. Im 31.1weeks pregnant, with my first baby. I've had it pretty good..hardly any morning sickness, no complications, no bleeding whatsoever....but im always sore and tired. I take 1-2 long (a couple hours) naps every day. Its difficult for me to grocery shop, walk, just basically do anything. Baby is head down and pushing making things very uncomfortable. He thinks im lazy and just because every pregnant woman he's ever known (which is only 2, his mom and sister) has worked through there whole pregnancy, but I can't even go grocery shopping without getting tired and hurting. He thinks im milking it :-( how do I convince him otherwise!? Please help!!

Try to talk to him heart to heart..tell him..I'm not lazy if dats what ur thinking... its just that I'm diffrent from ur mom and sister...in my case,,,now we know my sensitivity @ pregnancy....tell him all hun...I'm sure he will understand..try to tell him to feel u how it really hurt u so bad...goodluck

When you figure it out let me know mine thinks I sleep to much too or that I'm crazy for being tired

This may be a little extreme but I think they make those fake pregnant bellys that you can make him wear lol

Have him educate himself, as well as inform him every woman is different, every pregnancy is different. Hope it works for the best!

Yeah... your heart has increased in size by one third just to pump the extra blood, your stomach muscle has split down the middle,and hormones have softened your ligaments/joints....and you're just lazy! No way. Punch him in the stomach! No no. J kdding.
