Help? overprotective spouse.

Since I'm down to my final month my manhas become extremely clingy. He doesn't want to leave me which is sweet but he also won't let me do anything, like he seriously wants to help me walk to the bathroom and pull my panties up after.

How do you ladies deal with an overprotective spouse? I've told him I need space but it works for only an hour lol

I think that's a great thing and don't really consider that being clingy. He really loves you and just being protective of his babies. He doesn't want anything to happen to you guys. My guy is like that too. He won't let me open doors or clean & cook. He even goes to the shower with me. Waits till I'm done, hands me my towel & dries my back for me. I get annoyed sometimes like when he carries me to the car when its raining but then I get upset when he doesn't do all those things. Some girls would kill for their man to just touch them or show a caring gesture.... Best of luck to you on the food rest of your preggo journey hun. :-)

My husband is somewhat the same. He wont let me carry even a bag of groceries and freaks out if i do certain types of cleaning (i scrubbed one of our cabinets out the other day because one of my girls spilled some juice and he liked to have a cow lol).

Lol aww haha. I think being your little helper would be great but the bathroom part is weird to me. That would drive me crazy. I'd lock the door hahaha. I would just tell him to save his energy for when the baby is born and you can handle it right now! :)

My husband is the same way and I'm only 19 weeks. It's sweet and annoying  at the same time. I try to tell myself it his way off showing me I'm not going through this alone and he is there literally every step of the way.

I'm not sure why he is. It just happened all of a sudden, like he had a bad dream or something but every time I tell him I can do it myself he gets hurt or really upset with me.

Don't get me wrong I love him and I'm so grateful he wants to help so much but I'm pregnant not dying..

I wish mine was that attentive.  Lol damn. Mine might help me out of bed. He used to help me out my shoes on but I swear he's lost interest.

I wonder why yours is especially clingy? I'd say I'd love it if my man were...but I'm sure I'd be quick to change my mind
