Must watch video of two husbands who said women exaggerate about the pains of childbirth experiencing a "contraction simulator". Make sure you can turn up the volume to hear their comments during the experience. Enjoy :-)<br /> <a href="http://vimeo.com/65927758" rel="nofollow">http://vimeo.com/65927758</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-862749 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:10:52 +0000 Dandelion 862749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I talked to a guy once who said he had gall bladder issues, and he's SURE he knows what it likes to be in labor. Totally different, dude...sure gallbladders suck when they go out, but it's not labor! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-862738 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 11:08:20 +0000 SweetiePie 862738@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have any stories (yet) but this thread is hilarious and one of my faves to date. Hahahahaha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860972 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 23:29:32 +0000 Sapphiresun 860972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@shopaholic: Umm... i think being cut in half still counts for more than having to be a point of contact. Silly boys. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860541 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:36:23 +0000 Sadieloo 860541@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Omg. That is awesome and hilarious. My DH hasn't said anything like that but has declared he will not be reading any pregnancy or baby books. Mind you he's never changed a diaper or held a newborn :) maybe it's a better (and less neurotic) approach than mine. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860515 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:21:36 +0000 shopaholic 860515@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LMAO! So cute and funny!</p> <p>Our friend told us he had the baby and gave birth (or something to that effect). All the ladies were like "WTH are you talking about?!" His reasoning was because his wife had a scheduled C-Section and just got to lay there, while he was "running around" keeping everyone updated, etc. He had a lot more "work" to do! Hmph! men! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860511 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:18:31 +0000 Grace 860511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Foodnerd81: Lol at the sympathy baby weight. My hubby likes to say that he knows what it's like. It doesn't bother me though, because I figure he's just trying to sympathize. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860498 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 17:12:01 +0000 Foodnerd81 860498@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In our childbirth class today the instructor said how sometimes seeing someone you love in so much pain or discomfort is even worse than it is for the mother in labor. DH has stopped mentioning this. (insert big eye roll here). </p> <p>He's also gained, a few pounds since I've been pregnant and said today that he can't wait to lose the sympathy baby weight. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860166 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 12:08:20 +0000 kjpugs 860166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Sapphiresun: LOL yeah tell him to shower/sleep/grocery shop/do EVERYTHING with that on and then report back! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860104 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:05:25 +0000 Sapphiresun 860104@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>haha... Yeah, DH likes to say he knows what it's like because he wears a 11 pound duty belt at work, so his back/hips get sore as well. Riiiiiiiight... but he's gotten to take that off and stretch at some point in the last 8 months I assume?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860101 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 11:03:51 +0000 jhd 860101@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@kjpugs LOL </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860061 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:22:42 +0000 kjpugs 860061@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA now two pugs are on him and he said he has it harder because he's having "twins." At least now I KNOW he's not even trying to be serious. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860053 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:19:33 +0000 jhd 860053@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Lol my sis just had her 1st baby this week. BIL tried to tell her he knew better than she did how to get the baby latched on....ummmm no. But he is just insane anyway! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860034 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:06:24 +0000 prettylizy 860034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had 1 year of maternity leave and he said to me "I don't get it, she sleeps like 16-17 hours a day most days, why are you complaining about being tired and having no time?". Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/my-dh-said-he-knows-what-its-like-to-be-pregnant#post-860032 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 10:04:04 +0000 kjpugs 860032@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>...because one of our pugs is always "glued" to him and sits on his belly when he lays down.</p> <p>HAHAHAHAHAHA! You can imagine the hilarious laughter and lecture from me that followed his comment. I think he was actually serious!</p> <p>MEN!!!!!</p> <p>Did your SO say anything that made you think they just DO NOT get it? </p>
