DH HATES my snoogle. It's big and takes up a lot of room in our bed. But I love it and it helps me sleep better, so snoogle stays.
-
He hated the Snoogle, because I took up like 2/3 of the bed. We had sex last often, and he "lost his drinking partner" (we're not get drunk every night drinkers, but we do enjoy beer quite a lot). He also ate a lot of peanut butter sandwiches and plain buttered noodles because I couldn't stomach much else.
-
The fact that I had to take so many naps and didn't have the energy like I did pre-pregnancy.
-
@artbee: Hahahaha . . . I had 2 mini snoogles, and DH hated those, too!
I was a wee bit (*cough*) on the complain-y side . . . it was a ridiculously hot summer, and I was swelling like a puffer fish!
-
I think my occasional mood swings/emotional "outbursts" (often over something ridiculous like Taco Bell...) are reeeeally tough for him to "get." I totally don't blame him either, I myself don't understand them the majority of the time!!! That and the fact that I totally don't put out...like...at all. Hmm. Poor guy.
-
Lack of sex when I had two bv infections, worry when I had unexplained bleeding. I think next time around I'll be more mindful of it and not freak out so much. It caused some issues in our relationship that were working through.
-
The litter box.
He would gag and complain every time he had to clean it,
-
DH has been rather delighted with the current state of "the girls." He has not however been allowed near them since they basically feel like they're on *fire*. This depresses him greatly. He promises like a sweet lil schoolboy he'll play nice, but, alas, I haven't given him free reign yet.
-
The lack of sex, definitely. Poor DH!
-
@oliviaoblivia: I would have to agree! We had a huge fight a few months ago about getting rid of the cat. He hates the cat.
-
@artbee: Haha, my DH hated the snoogle until he tried it. Now he wants to steal it!
I think he hated the first trimester when I was super sick the whole time. I didn't do much and basically wanted to sleep, and I think it was a little hard for him to understand.
-
My crazy emotions/mood swings!
-
@JessKas: I bought two mini snoogles intending one to be for DH . . . uhhhhh, I kept both of them for mahselfs. : /
-
Insomnia. Because I'm a bear when I don't sleep.
-
The lack of sex, I'm sure!
-
My bad mood in my first trimester and lack of sex.
-
@ms.janedoe: glad my dh isn't alone.
Definitely lack of sex.
-
When I was pregnant with E it was my extreme and anxiety and worrywart tendencies. Little did he know I was just in training for being a complete worrywart mama!
-
So far, probably my fatigue which leads to us not doing much, me not cooking, etc. Plus, less sex.
-
@oliviaoblivia: DH does this with diaper changes now. He's fine changing a pee diaper, but hates poo. Normally I just do it so I don't have to hear him complain, but my morning sickness is so bad that the smell makes me want to puke. So if he's home, I make him do it. And he complains the whole time.
-
My lack of cravings. I'm generally indecisive, but will throw out a couple items for suggestions. Now that I'm pregnant, I hardly have cravings so it really irritates the hubby when he asks what I want to eat and I offer zero suggestions. LOL
-
I'm super early still, but so far lack of sex and generally having to anticpate my needs since I'm feeling so yucky. He also HATES when I complain about feeling like crap. I know his intentions are really good (we previously had an MC so everything to him is a blessing) but it's SO hard to stay positive when you feel like you had too many shots of tequila (and can't have ANY tequila! haha)
-
DH hate being responsible for picking up the dog poop in the garden. He leaves it for days on end and then it's a mammoth task!!! Prior to pregnancy, it was my job because it makes him feel sick. I helped until I hit about 20 weeks but I really can't bend down to do it now!! Poor DH!
I also get the feeling that he is struggling with how much help he needs to give me. He is used to me being very independent and capable - and I think that's one of the things he loves about me. I manage most of the bills, I drive myself places, I sort out my own car repairs..... now I need him to help me buckle my shoes and can't manage the grocery shop alone. I think it's been hard on him.
-
@LMOG47: YES! My husband has been very disappointed by this too, haha.
I think he's mostly been frustrated by how weird my body/emotions are right now. I feel like I'm going to throw up one minute and then I'm desperately craving a cupcake the next. I think sometimes he thinks I'm making it up because I get a lot of eye rolls, haha
-
@artbee: haha we both hated it! But I needed it at the end.
-
My DH is a saint for not complaining about anything so far between him having to help out more around the house, cancel plans at the last minute because i'm too tired, etc. But I think what takes the cake for him is definitley the decrease in frequency of BD'ing. He's finally allowed to play with my mammoth sized breasts which makes him happy, but by the time he initiates BD'ing at night I am always too gassy and tired (sorry tmi). I've tried to initiate it earlier, but he always likes to wait until it's time to go to bed for some reason.
-
Probably a 3 way tie between the body pillow, lack of sex and pregnancy mood swings. lol
-
Lol wellll he isnt really *allowed* to have a least favourite part BUT i'm sure he isnt liking the amount of housework and parenting he has had to pick up.
-
@FutureMrsMcK: Oh yes, losing his drinking partner was a big downside for DH!
@Alivoo01: This was me too!! Except, I'm usually super decisive. Whenever the in-laws wanted to go out for family dinner, no one out of the 8 of them could ever decide so I would get sick of talking about it for 2 hours and chime in with where I decided we would go. After getting pregnant nothing ever sounded good (not bad either, I just really didn't care about what I ate), so I couldn't ever decide on food. Including dinner at home.
He probably hated how much I got up to go to the bathroom and all the tossing/turning at night - I'm sure his sleep suffered greatly!! Although, he was a perfect hubby about it and never complained
-
@Alivoo01: same here! But it was more that because I wasn't craving anything I wasn't cooking anything either...so DH would come home from work and there'd be nothing to eat for dinner and he'd have to scrounge up some food! He tells everyone that the first trimester was the worst because of that!
-
I'm sure he's tired of all the complaining. I'm so whiney now and I can't even help it.. I annoy myself so bless his heart
-
Lack of sex. He was understanding about it when I was feeling tired, sick, or sore, but now it's just a complete lack of interest or desire and it's hurting his feelings. I tried to explain that I still find him attractive and I'm not against the idea of sex, but the reality is that my body just doesn't. want. any. I'm pretty sure he thinks I'm BS-ing, though.
-
I would guess the decreased frequency of sex, and he's way less spoiled in general now that I'm tired and sore most of the time.
-
He's not here, so I can't ask him and he'a never complained, but I would guess less sex, less cooking, less going out. Which is all ties to fatigue, so I bet that's his least favourite part. My least favourite part too, for that matter.
-
I asked and he said that it was so long ago that he can't remember...LO is 5 months old.
Further quizzing revealed that he disliked the sheer number of doctor's appointments that I had. That and when I ditched him in the middle of Safeway to go throw up.
-
probably like @DigAPony: said, the fatigue. dinner is never cooked, because of my MS I can't do the dishes without throwing up, and I want to sleep by 8:00 every night (when he is walking in the door from work!)
-
Either the maternity pillow (he threatens to make it "disappear" heh) or the granny panties. Sooooo sexy!
-
DH was deployed for our first so he missed all of the first time pregnant mama craziness! With this pregnancy, I was so irritable during the first trimester! I really feel bad for him and DS. I knew I was just a crabby brat but I couldn't help it.
-
@oliviaoblivia: my husband bought a gas mask thing from Home Depot in order to keep from gagging! It looks funny, but now he doesn't mind doing it.
-
My DH gets really grossed out by everything, so any talk about crowning, placenta, umbilical cord, or gross pregnancy symptoms like reflux and leaking pee grosses him out. He is really dramatic about it and it annoys the hell out of me. I understand that they're gross but I'm the one who has to go through it, so I should be able to talk about it!
