Yesterday I barfed a lot at work - in the end I had to ask DH to collect me when he got out of work - I just wasn't capable of driving myself home. This morning I've got the runs and other flu symptoms. I'm also 22 weeks pregnant.
This morning he has just sat on the sofa, playing some stupid game on his phone. I had to fetch myself any glass of water or other comfort I needed. Our Dd asked for a drink and he made zero effort to bring her one so I had to drag myself off the sofa, head swimming, to fetch it for her.
AIBU to expect him to drag himself away from his phone to a) actually speak to his family b) look after me a little bit? If it was him that was sick our Dd would be dressed by now and I'd have taken her out somewhere so he could have a rest.
AIBU?
to ask for a little bit of care and thoughtfulness from DH?

YANBU at all. Like TendonQueen says, ask him instead of doing it yourself. But you shouldn't have to, he should see you're ill and take over. Unfortunately it's a common complaint on here, some men don't do well when their partner is ill. Hope you feel better soon and take it easy 
See you and Bill - just feel bad that Dd is not getting much interaction! It's her weekend as well and I'm desperate to spend some quality time with her 
Oyster - not outright. I did say "Dd wants a drink" and "I could do with a glass of water too"
Some fell on stony ground, as they say

Op get some rest. Don't get worked up about it now.
If you feel like that sort it and speak to him later.
Hope you get well soon 
It's almost like when I'm there he thinks he can get away with doing sweet FA.
probably because you let him. 
Stop letting him sit around on his phone, kick him in the shin and tell him to shift his arse.
