And he picked up more slack in general both in the first trimester when I was exhausted and in the third when I was huge and immobile :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958372 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 08:24:48 +0000 sera_87 958372@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cat litter, but he left it for a really long time. </p> <p>First trimester he did the lions share of dishes/cooking/laundry while I worked 2 full time jobs and dealt with exhaustion &amp; nausea. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958177 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 07:07:27 +0000 Charm54 958177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He still does his normal routine...but the good man hired a house cleaner when I was 7 weeks pregnant and exhausted. I LOVE her and as a result I love him for bringing her into my life :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958163 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:58:44 +0000 MrsTiz 958163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958156 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:56:29 +0000 looch 958156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nothing changed for us, we continued with the chores we had before...for him it was mainly dusting inside. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958151 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 06:55:03 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 958151@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A lot! He did all the laundry (washing clothes, I still folded and put away) vacuuming, unloading the dishwasher and emptying the litter box. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958044 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 01:49:46 +0000 Mommytotwois 958044@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH always had the house clean, well at least the downstairs, (I don't mind laundry and picking up the bedrooms) every day when I came home from work. He always handled our toddler when we were out in public, and he still does all of these. He's a big help. :heart: :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958036 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 01:27:36 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 958036@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did everything! The biggest help was he started giving N baths every night and putting her to bed while I rested. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-958010 Wed, 24 Jul 2013 00:17:38 +0000 SAHM0811 958010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, nothing changed!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957701 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:53:20 +0000 Turd Ferguson 957701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He's always been pretty good about helping out with house stuff. He won't let me touch the lawnmower or anything like that though...which I don't put up too much of a fight over! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957692 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:49:55 +0000 yerpie110 957692@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He did just about everything! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957584 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:08:18 +0000 aprk 957584@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Pretty much everything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957580 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 20:07:34 +0000 Honeybee 957580@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband did almost everything the first pregnancy and the majority of household and childcare the second time around. I had hypermesis gravidarum, so I needed a lot of help just getting up and to work in the mornings; I didn't have a lot left over for cleaning/cooking/chores. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957559 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:54:34 +0000 Sweet T 957559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH has been helping a lot more this time around and I am so grateful! We usually clean the bathrooms together but he's been doing them alone a lot in the last few months. He's been helping a lot with DS too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957548 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:50:53 +0000 hilsy85 957548@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He didn't take over anything, but he did things when I asked (but he did that before I got pregnant too...). I guess maybe wiping up the kitchen floor? He got mad at me when I would do it, so he did it a few times :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957539 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:48:10 +0000 dolphin 957539@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>He cleaned the bathroom once or twice...then we hired a house cleaner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957489 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:36:59 +0000 lawbee11 957489@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, pretty much all of them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957487 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:36:26 +0000 Bao 957487@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The cat litter, and then anything else I asked him to do nicely. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957484 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 19:35:18 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 957484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really...

He cooks slightly more than he used to but definitely cleans a lot more. I make sure to tell him how much I appreciate it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957184 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:48:40 +0000 mrsmate 957184@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Cat litter and laundry during the first trimester. I've taken back laundry bc he's not good at it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957183 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:48:28 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 957183@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Litter box &amp; he HATES IT! He refuses to scoop it so he just dumps it out and puts a bunch of fresh littler in once a week. I don't much care for his way of doing it but whatever at least its getting done...</p> <p>ETA: I wish he would help cook more often. He cooks about twice a month and the rest of the time he will buy fast food instead of cooking. I want a home cooked meal now and again. Then again he is working 65-70hrs/wk. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-your-so-take-over-any-chores-when-you-were-pregnant#post-957175 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 16:46:21 +0000 dojo 957175@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Dishes! I was so nauseous all the time that looking at food residue and and smelling sink smells would make me gag. Somehow he has continued to do them... </p>
