In the first trimester I was a slug on the couch, and not remotely exciting. And he basically picked up all of the slack around the house and such. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-199322 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:37:04 +0000 mrs. wagon 199322@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been a monster with the moodiness. Sometimes I cannot control my anger, it's a little scary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-199319 Fri, 22 Jun 2012 12:34:58 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 199319@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>FUTUREMRSMCK: "I was too tired to have any!" &lt;&lt;Yeah same. Too tired to be a monster. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198242 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 20:08:20 +0000 lovehoneybee 198242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's been a pretty easy pregnancy for DH. We were both pretty stressed the first trimester because of a previous loss, but I wasn't having serious mood swings or anything. I was too tired to have any!</p> <p>I've had serious cravings maybe two or three times, and he's obliged them (all for Taco Bell, so he got something out of it too). </p> <p>Now with 7 weeks left I'm definitely feeling weepier, and my patience is a lot shorter, but I've tried to rein it in and not take it out on him. I snap at him sometimes, but it's usually when he's being a dumbass and I would have anyway. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198119 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:39:06 +0000 chrispygal 198119@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: OMG, yes!! I'm glad it's not just me! I don't think it's selfish at all. He's never been one to dote, but he's a thoughtful guy and I just wonder where that has gone? Granted I am normally a very self-sufficient person and he's used to that, but you'd think he'd get why I'm not right now. So yeah, this is partly why I don't feel badly about being cranky. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198092 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:31:32 +0000 sorrycharlie 198092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@chrispygal: ugh, my DH does the same! although he did that in the beginning and I'd say more often than not, does the same thing now. it really bothers me..like my feet are radiating heat and look like sausages, you can't rub them for 10 minutes?! (I am totally aware of how selfish that sounds, lol, but seriously..you would think they'd be more helpful!) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198084 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:29:50 +0000 chrispygal 198084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have been cranky. Very cranky. But I also think I have been a good pregnant wife, especially after speaking with so many other husbands about what they dealt with. For the most part I will acknowledge when something is hormone related and I know I'm being unrealistic. I actually think he could have been better to me. It took a few fights for us to get to a good point. In the beginning when I would ask him to do something for me, he would sigh and get frustrated. Really??? It blew my mind that he didn't get that I couldn't do these things any more.</p> <p>Once the latter part of the 3rd trimester hit, that all stopped though - including me acknowledging that something is pregnancy related. I know this sounds horrible, but I just don't care anymore. haha. I'm miserable and cranky and like @TurtleDoves, I hate that I can't do the things I normally do. I don't have the extra energy to try and be nice these days. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198076 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:28:10 +0000 leelee 198076@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has had it way easy I think. I never had morning sickness, cravings and one mood swings(that I know of ;) ). Though I think the mood swing was warranted as he said he wanted his family there where LO was born. I totally put my foot down on that one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198073 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:27:16 +0000 Rubies 198073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 2-3 serious meltdowns and asked for back rubs. But other than that, I think I was okay. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198071 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:26:54 +0000 MamaMoose 198071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: any time hubs complains about his day at work a quick reminder that I'm growing his child does the trick ; ) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198064 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:25:43 +0000 sorrycharlie 198064@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MamaMoose: sometimes he will - but usually he's had suchhh a hard day at work and he's soooo tired! lol, I'm awful - he does work like a dog outside in the heat (in pants) but still, I wish he'd be more the 'doting dad to be' sometimes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198058 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:24:33 +0000 MamaMoose 198058@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: why won't he give you a back rub?!? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-198050 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:21:44 +0000 sorrycharlie 198050@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been moody. and I've had horrible back pain..I beg my DH to rub it (hard-knuckle it) and he always refuses. he's mean. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-197990 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:10:12 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 197990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband always tells me how he loves that I'm so calm in situations like this....and when i'm sick...and when i'm stressed. I'm very mild tempered..and I stay nice.<br /> BUT: It's getting to a point where I can't do so many things that it depresses me! I can't work out like I used to, have s*x like I used to, sleep, eat, lift things, or walk like I used to so I am getting very WHINEY these days. I don't do it on purpose but I have this "woe is me" complex going on right now:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-197950 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 19:01:22 +0000 MamaMoose 197950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I haven't been moody but I have been fairly useless. I had terrible morning sickness and that was followed by pretty much constant back and hip pain. So I spend a lot of the time on the couch and hubs has picked up way more than his fair share of house work. But I don't demand it of him. He does it willingly. Honestly I think the hardest thing for him is that I've had a number of spotting episodes and some other complications and I FREAK OUT every time because I had a prior loss. So trying to keep me calm can be a full time job for him on some days </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-give-your-dh-a-hard-time#post-197927 Thu, 21 Jun 2012 18:58:14 +0000 mrsjyw 197927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My bro's in town visiting and told me the other day that when he was talking to DH about how I've been during pregnancy... Dh admitted that it's been fairly easy on his end and that I haven't given him too much to have to do (aside from getting me thigns from the kitchen when i'm tired... ;P)</p> <p>I haven't had any weird cravings and only blew up a couple of times during the first trim (mood swing wise! LOL)....</p> <p>we'll see how my behavior changes in the third~~ i want to makeup a craving late at night, just to send him out for something! LOL</p> <p>what about you~ </p>
