Daddys to be!

[cnmartin1425]

I see a lot of women post about their men not being supportive during the pregnancy or helpful around the house, some 9 months pregnant and their still required to do all the cooking, cleaning,and errands alone. I have the opposite "problem"! My boyfriend has been nothing short of amazing during the pregnancy, and I'm only 7 weeks. We both work full time. He cleans, cooks every night, and does all of the other household chores. We used to split the responsibilities but I'm so exhausted all of the time now, so he just takes care of it! I know it sounds like I should have nothing to worry about, but I feel so worthless sometimes! I feel like he's going to get tired of me being lazy and sluggish after work, but he just does everything with a smile! Anyone else have a man like this, and feel similar?

I am 9 weeks Andy boyfriend is more than amazing he is super supportive and helpful. We both work full time and I am miserably sick along with terrible migraines. He does anything I need him too and sacrifices sleep too. Just last night he was up with me all night while I was sick and crying from so much pain. I couldn't ask for anything better!

I was 'fall asleep standing up' exhausted my first trimester, and my husband has been wonderful about helping out and doing what i was too tired to handle. I did feel some guilt over it, but i think the most important thing is just to talk about it. Make sure your man knows how you feel and how much you appreciate the support. Even if you know he'll refuse, offer to help out with whatever he is doing anyway. That way, he knows you reccognise the extra effort from him, and really do want to do what you can.

Yes I do lucky me he works 6 days a week out at 5:30 am come home straighten up.. not much to clean a dish or few.. and cook.. and wash dishes after... But sometimes I try an pitch in 2 or 3 times out the week cook have dinner ready when he comes home..  he probably wash dishes or whatever I try to not make him feel overwhelmed so when I really need him to do everything he won't mind..

I'm 34 weeks n he tries to do everything but i wont let him, I like to have my independence n i don't want to get to used for him doing everything

My hubby and son are very supportive as well.  I had all day long nausea (no vomiting) and fatigue my whole first trimester and they have been troopers putting up with me..lol.  Luckily my hubby is already the cook of the house so anything kitchen related he takes care of.  I simply couldn't ask for a more supportive and understanding husband.  He also says he's been reading up on pregnancy so he can understand better what I'm going thru cuz at first I felt like he thought I was exaggerating my symptoms when I wasn't.  It really made feel like he's completely on board with baby no 2.  Although from time to time he does jokingly say that I'm running him ragged...lol.  But he always does everything with a smile and a yes dear..:). still no back rubs or foot massages, but not complaining...lol.

Yep... I'm barely wkin now. Only 14 weeks. He takes care of bills cleans and cook. But he cooked and cleaned before I was pregnant tho! But he is great

My husband was that way with our first without complaining and starts every pregnancy that way but after a while he explodes. I have stressed pregnancy and if not careful I get put on bed rest which is why I let him do so much. I would do more now so he does not blow up when you really need the help.

My husband is just very helpful. He doesnt go over the top with doing things, but assembles or paints any baby related stuff without question and cleans with the chemicals, cuts the grass, etc. He also cooks but he's done that all along cuz he's better at it. I think as long as i'm not taking advantage of it and keeping myself active (workouts, pick up here and there, shopping for baby stuff or what not) when he's at work, he will gladly help. I don't use pregnancy as an excuse to be lazy, but 1st trimester i was a sleepy gal(it will pass). I still worked out though, which actually helped. I know he doesn't want to be a hands-off kind of dad so i am so happy for that, but we discussed all that long before planning to get pregnant because we know a total lazy pos dad that has 3 kids and will barely hold them and both parents work.
Hopefully it's our guys wanting to show they are ready to help out with baby.

I wouldn't call it lazy especially in the beginning of pregnancy every female is different. With my first 3 pregnancies I was very active cleaned cooked and did everything possible. With this one all I wanna do is sleep I'm exhausted and sore all of the time. I would say enjoy it and if he's doing this now in the beginning I'm sure he will continue until the end. After the back y is born you can make it up to him mol. Enjoy hun!!

I Know Just What You Mean. My Man Tries To Do Everything For Me Which Can Get Irritating BecausE I Am So Use To Doing Thing Myself. I'm Just starting The Second Trimester And Last Night He Came Home From Work And Didn't Even Sit For A Second! I Was Washing Dishes And He Immediately Greeted Me And Started Sweeping The Floor. I Asked Him To Stop Because I Was Getting To The Floors And Felt Bad That I've Been Too Tired To Help Him With Anything....But He Still Refused To Put The Broom Down ;). I Suppose We Just Need To Feel Grateful We Have Good Men And Let Them Know We Appreciate it.

Probably should be a little less lazy especially since your only a few weeks Into your pregnancy and when you really pop and start to feel heavy he will most likely have less sympathy. Lol. No one likes being someone's maid. :) take care

[mummiesblessin]

That is great you need that support through out your pregnancy n it makes your pregnancy easy

[feg90]

Yes my husband is just like that! I'm 23+4 and just yesterday he exploded o being tired of doing it!!
