I think it's difficult for them to understand what's going on because it's a very new thing and honestly we don't look any different in the 1st trimester. So for them, nothing changed except for a positive pregnancy test. My husband got more and more supportive as my pregnancy progressed. Now, in the final stretch (39 weeks) I honestly feel more than pampered, he would do absolutely everything for me (including helping me put on my socks when he notices that that's what I'm gonna do). In the 1st trimester he would tell me to start doing stuff around the house because pregnancy is not a disease, he just wouldn't understand that I could barely cope with work, I was constantly feeling exhausted and nauseous (luckily only nauseous, no real morning sickness).

I bought mine a book for dads. Pregnancy for dad's or something like that. When he reads it, it helps immensely as it explains what is going on with me

In the first few months I was so ill and fatigued. I also had to stay with my mum. There was just too much strain on both myself and partner especially with the long hours he works. I needed more support than he could give. Or understood how to.
The further along things have got,the more we've been able to adapt. It has improved. Just takes communication and time.

I went thru the same thing, my first few months he didn't understand how I felt we would argue and it was stressful because I was so nauseous, tired and no energy what so ever. I just over n over tried to talk to him continuously very calm sat him down n tried to get him to understand it's not easy. And I would be sure when I felt sick he knew it made him finally realize it's tough and not very easy to deal with.  I know it's alot but patience hun and try to relax drink plenty of water. And rest as much as you can.. I hope this helped. :)
