It was super annoying when I was feeling fine in the first 6 months, but somewhere around 30 weeks, it quit bothering me and I am perfectly happy to let him walk the dog and do the dishes. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074948 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 16:02:51 +0000 Bao 1074948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's very sweet :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074927 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:53:42 +0000 LindsayInNY 1074927@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha! That's totally going to be my DH! I'll let you know in a couple weeks ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074919 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:50:00 +0000 kjpugs 1074919@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL! That's ADORABLE!</p> <p>DH is the total opposite, he has done NONE of the protective stuff and almost never offers to help or do stuff for me. I think he's just clueless. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074899 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:37:28 +0000 artsyfartsy 1074899@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: My DH offers me milk too! All the time he's like, "Do you want a glass of milk?" out of no where. </p> <p>I do love milk though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074897 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:36:51 +0000 78h2o 1074897@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can see how it would get old, but it's pretty cute/sweet!</p> <p>My DH was the opposite... he'd do crazy things like ask me to move boxes, climb a ladder to take boxes to the attic, and spray the bushes with pesticide - when I was 7 mo pregnant!!! Clueless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074893 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:35:50 +0000 artsyfartsy 1074893@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband fears I'm not eating enough! I was super picky in the first trimester so he kept trying to feed me. Now that I'm in my second and eating all the time, he still feels like I'm not eating enough!</p> <p>Even before I was pregnant he doesn't let me use knives much or open packages with scissors! He's scared I'll hurt myself! It's an ongoing joke that I say, "I'm going to go cut up an apple for a snack...WITH A KNIFE!"</p> <p>He freaks out and drops everything to do it for me. Lol<br /> He also doesn't let me drive much. He may bubble wrap me when I start getting bigger.</p> <p>ETA: DH is not controlling in the least. Just very protective. Just thought I would mention that. Lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074889 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:34:25 +0000 Lozza 1074889@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Yoyo: My DH has always been good about lifting heavy stuff, but he tries to complain about sleep sometimes and it is so hard to not just respond with "LET ME TELL YOU HOW SYMPATHETIC I AM FEELING RIGHT NOW..." </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074828 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 15:11:52 +0000 Cherrybee 1074828@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aaw, that's lovely. So sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074526 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:42:13 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 1074526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DH won't let me carry in any groceries or shopping. But groans when I ask him to cook...men are weird like that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074424 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:07:58 +0000 nana87 1074424@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: haha, ewwww milk on a hot day, that's so not refreshing! my dh was more concerned that I stopped drinking coffee which means I've stopped drinking the milk I used to put in it too, so he was worried I haven't been drinking enough in general. i thought it was sweet! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074418 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:06:53 +0000 HLK208 1074418@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: that is SO sweet!!! My husband didn't do this! I think he often forgot that I was carrying a baby. Nor did he really get the concept that being pregnant wasn't easy. He couldn't understand why I didn't want to mop the floor on my hands and knees at 35 weeks pregnant haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074409 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 13:03:54 +0000 Mrs Hedgehog 1074409@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hahaha. Mr. Hedgie did the same thing. Hate to say it but it only gets worse once LO is born. "Be careful carrying her across the room! There is a dog bone 10 ft away and I don't want you tripping over it even though it is nowhere near the path you are taking." Kind of stuff. lol</p> <p>Atleast it shows he cares! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074390 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:57:43 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1074390@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: Haha, aw. It is sweet. My husband is the opposite, even now, when I'm well into my third tri and HUGE. He's always asking for me to help lift heavy crap, complaining about HIS aching back, etc. Good thing he's an awesome dad, because he sucks at being the husband of a pregnant woman. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074385 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:55:45 +0000 Adira 1074385@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is so sweet!!! I had the opposite problem where at 34 weeks my husband was still trying to get me to snowblow and shovel snow and told me I was out of breath because I wasn't fit, not because I was pregnant and had all my organs and a baby squashing my lungs! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074348 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:42:38 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1074348@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@nana87: haha the one time he offered me milk, i was in the pool on vacation at the house we rented on the beach. it was SO SO hot and he come outside and says "could i get you a large glass of milk?" MIL and my mom thought it was so funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074335 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:35:38 +0000 Glitter 1074335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My husband wanted to take the bus home instead of asking me to pick him up from the office because he didn't want to tire me out. He works exactly 6 minutes away. :-| </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074332 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:35:11 +0000 shopaholic 1074332@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, but that's really sweet. I remember when it was so early, I thought hiking and jogging might make me m/c. So I understand a bit o paranoia. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074331 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:34:41 +0000 Mae 1074331@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TurtleDoves: @PurplePeony: @nana87: Oh man--- the food thing would bug me! lol. Luckily he doesn't really know/care too much about the food aspect of pregnancy because he figures I know what I'm doing. So far I'm following all the rules and not cheating (but again-- 6 weeks in. I might get desperate later) anyways. But I know there are various opinion on some things (like caffeine--- and I am not giving up my morning cup of coffee!) so I'm glad I don't have anyone second guessing me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074326 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 12:30:58 +0000 nana87 1074326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: just this morning dh started telling me to drink more milk! I tried to tell him there was calcium in yogurt and cheese too, plus my prenatals, but he's like "no you need to drink a glass of milk on top of that every day too," lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074157 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:29:01 +0000 PurplePeony 1074157@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My hubby has been really overprotective, too. He's been away for a few weeks and, while I've missed him, it's been kind of nice not having him hovering over me and telling me what (he thinks) I can and can't do. Food has been the worst, whenever we're out I'll order something and then he'll start second-guessing me in front of the waitress, being like "but doesn't hot chocolate have caffeine in it? Are you sure you should be drinking that? I think you should get a decaf tea instead." Drives me CRAZY! I know he's just concerned, but it's kind of embarrassing! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074152 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:27:13 +0000 avivoca 1074152@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Since we got pregnant, my husband has insisted on helping me up/down curbs and stairs, not over-exerting myself and at 36 weeks he does not want me driving anywhere by myself, standing on chairs, or anything like that. In fact, he keeps bugging me and asking if I'm okay, like this morning as I was getting in the shower. He was up when I was last night worrying because I was coughing so much and couldn't get comfortable.</p> <p>It's sweet, but I'm starting to get really tired of it. I love his sweet heart though, so I try not to get too annoyed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074147 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:26:24 +0000 Lozza 1074147@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wish my husband were more like that! I'm 35 weeks, and DH still kind of gives me a look when I ask him to carry the bucket of dirty clothes down the rickety basement stairs... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074133 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:20:57 +0000 CupQuakeWalk 1074133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LOL, YES! Isn't is sweet though? My husband drove me insane. He was way over the top. but, he works 50+ hours a week so....yeah...I got my soft serve icecream on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074132 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:20:52 +0000 MapleMoose 1074132@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aww that's cute! He's concerned about his wife and child. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074110 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:12:18 +0000 Chillybear 1074110@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>in the span of one month I was in the hospital with kidney stones, and then a few weeks later got into a slightly more than fender bender accident on my way to work that sent me back to the hospital for a day of observation. that was weeks 20-24. now i'm at 36 weeks and still have to call my husband to tell him that i got where i was going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074097 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:05:59 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1074097@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: haha yes - he is trying to fill me with milk and veggies.. for the baby. lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074092 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:05:10 +0000 Mae 1074092@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spinningry: lol! That is really funny. </p> <p>@Mrs. Champagne: haha milk? </p> <p>@MamaMoose: too funny. I do agree that it's over all very cute. But also just hilarious because like... I've made it 28 years without walking into traffic. I've never been hit by a car, not even once! Why would I start now? :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074088 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:03:34 +0000 pui 1074088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Aw sounds like he really cares about you and your baby. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-beginning-to-fear-my-husband-may-bubble-wrap-me#post-1074085 Mon, 09 Sep 2013 11:01:56 +0000 spinningry 1074085@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That is so cute! My DH was the same way. We were out with another couple one night and I needed to use the restroom...he made the other girl go with me! Just in case ;) </p>
