Im 8 weeks Any one else dealing with baby's dad who thinks it's all in your head that your so tired and feel like death! Yes that's what I heard today from him I know I haven't been my self lately but every day I feel like death!! If it's not one thing it another I just hate that he makes me sound so lazy when feel so depressed about not having the energy like it's my fault:/ I could punch him not really but that's how I feel ! I told him I would gladly switch with him !!

Lol funny you bring it up I think if I puked on his side of the bed he would probably think it was payback for the 2 or 3 times he did it to me ;)

Mine either... he told me "Let me guess... it's because your pregnant?" He's an a$$. I'm just tired, or have nausea, and my boobs (especially my nipples) hurt. I done have energy to do anything.

Mine used to he c wry sweet to me when I was exhausted in the first trimester, but now he's not as forgiving. He tends to make fun of me a lot (ok, I laugh at some of it too) but it does get old after a while. He'll promise back rubs and foot rubs, then he's too tired because he works. *sigh* I hope he's better about this when baby comes, otherwise I have a rough road ahead.

My guy never complained or made me feel bad but I did have him come to the first doctors visit and my doctor was explaining all the things my body was doing. Maybe if he heard your doctor explain it he would understand more.

Puke on his side of the bed. Then have him read a pregnancy book.

Get him a daddy book to read.   My hubby is reading one.  It explains everything I'm going through in ways he can understand.

I was wore out that much when I was 8 weeks pregnant. Thank goodness I didn't have a job at that point because all I did was sleep. I could get out of bed, clean the dishes & I felt like I ran a marathon. My boyfriend didn't understand at first either but he does now especially since I have a job. It'll get better, I promise. You'll get your energy back in the 2nd trimester. I'm 23wks & I've gotten my energy back for the most part but after work I'm wore out lol

Don't feel bad hun my hubby makes me feel like I'm the laziest woman in the world!  Between working (which requires me to be I n my feet the whole time) and pregnancy I'm wore out! Then he wants to just jump up and go somewhere which is fine but I'm always tired and/or have a headache!  I tried to explain the things my body is going through but men dnt seem to understand!!! :/

You aren't the only one. He will come around mine did. I think it is because men don't understand how much work our body goes through. Being pregnant is not easy. Thankfully mine is starting to get it and doesn't bother me when I want to sleep. It gets better good luck on your pregnancy. How dar along are you? I hit 11 weeks today.
