husbands clueless about pregnancy?
My husband and I are both first time parents. He is an only child, and I have three siblings. I grew up around lots of babies and little kids. He as never been around a pregnant women, so idk if it is just his lack of experience. He is extremely happy and excited to have his first baby girl, but sometimes I just wonder. I'm 25 weeks pregnant...which he couldn't even tell you. He doesn't understand the weeks concept, and I'll randomly ask him, how many weeks am I today? And he won't know. It also took him a while to understand that this little girl in my belly causes me to have symptoms, ex, headaches, back pain, tiredness, nausea, swelling, etc. At first he just thought our daughter was just growing inside me, and there were no affects on me. But now he understands that the pregnancy is causing all of it. Is anyones husband/BD like this or were like this?

this is a mans brain when it comes to pregnancy °
What can I say...men are still just boys playing grown ups!
The clueless dad I know is my sister's fiancé; he has two grown boys & told my sister he'd have his vasectomy reversed so they could have kids if she really wanted to, but at her age (she's only 32, lol, he's 42) her "bones would bend" & her nice body would never be the same & he would be sad to see it go! What an a$$!!! Lol... I told her I would have told him to shove it because my husband will love me no matter how my body changes when I have our children... its called "love".
Lately he's shown more concern about my lifting heavy things or whenever I look uncomfortable but he did NOT understand my activity restrictions when I had placenta previa--he thought I was being dramatic when I refused to walk around the grocery store with him for an hour while he went down EVERY aisle.
It's funny that he didn't get it when I had bad morning sickness and activity restrictions, but now that everything is great he's protective because I guess now he can "see" the bulging tummy.
