I was on bed rest for 8 weeks and my dh had to suddenly take over everything around the house.  He also went to my Dr. appts which were twice a week beginning at 28 weeks due to bed rest/pre term labor.  He would ask the u/s tech and Dr. numerous questions each time.
He was a real champ at the hospital!!  He changed and fed the babies much more than I did...  He would get whatever I needed.  He also stayed with me all three nights even though I told him he could go home and get some good rest.
Mty dh would touch my belly from time to time, but both of my twins were under the placentas so we could not feel them very much.

I had to go on bedrest for two and a half months; When we got home from the hospital, he had already arranged a cleaning service, lawn service, he had gotten me a "wedge" pillow so I could sit up in bed, he had gotten me a tray table for eating, he had gotten me a couple of footstools so I could have the computer next to me at "couch height".  He cooked my every request, including a quiche(!). Bedrest was tough on my back, and he gave me a backrub, or several, every single day. He got his own "pregnancy" book and reads it and tells me things. He went to breastfeeding class with me. He's been to every doctor's appointment. He sometimes goes into the nursery just because he likes being in there-says it's calming. Like energy_train's dh, he isn't really interested in touching my belly, but I have learned to accept that, even though I think he's missing out.

Honestly, by #3, my hubby is over the pregnancy excitement thing.  He always helps out around the house, pregnant or not, and that is HUGE.  He helps with the laundry, dishes, vaccumes, etc. and that in itself helps but as for feeling special, he's never been one to act differently when I'm pregnant- nor does he think I should act any different.  Sometimes I really wish he would want to touch my belly to feel the baby- he hasn't felt this one AT ALL and I'm 36 weeks.  It's just not his thing. He loves them to pieces once they are here but I don't think he quite understands how hard it is to be preggo sometimes, especially chasing 2 other kids around while preggo but he does offer to let us go out to eat more and doesn't complain when there are toys all over the floor!!  He's always been a loving person, likes to snuggle, but he isn't involved in the preggo part. Doesn't go to dr. appts except for the sonogram when we find out what we are having.  I've learned this is just him and he does work a lot so that I can stay home so I greatly appreciate that as well.  I hope I didn't paint him to be a bad guy as he's not AT ALL, pregnancy just isn't his thing!!!
