To think this is a good idea?

[MarchLioness]

I'm currently at the stage of pregnancy where I'm prone to suffering from bad indigestion after meals. I'm using pregnancy as an excuse to 'eat for two' - so I often eat large pizzas, whole trifles (once!) and inevitably suffer bad bellyache afterwards. I then get my DP to rub my back to help me burp because I think it'll be excellent practice for him when it comes to winding the baby! If he's used to dealing with my indigestion- he'll be better at dealing with the baby's colic etc - or that's my logic anyway.
He has had to deal with all the unglamorous sides of my pregnancy but then that's what looking after young babies is all about - so he's well prepared!

That's weird. Really really creepy.

Is this you?

Brilliant idea!
If you are an Adult Baby.
If so this is not the right website.

ewwww

Is it a good idea that you train your dh to look after a baby, by looking after you, I'm the same manner he would a baby? Despite going out of your way to cause yourself and him more discomfort!

I really bloody hope this is a reverse

Hmm. I suffered terrible heartburn in pregnancy and if I thought getting my DP to rub my back would have helped, I'd have asked him to. I think it's the purposely eating enough to give you bellyache and then expecting him to want to sit there and wind you night after night that's a bit weird.

No, that's gross and creepy!

Also there is no need to eat for two in pregnancy. Especially junk like pizzas and trifle, all it will do is put loads of weight on and make you feel sluggish. Sorry to be blunt but if you stop eating like a pig then you probably won't get bellyache and stuff as badly, also your husband will pick it all up quickly enough when baby is here.

If you eat for two people you will end up the size of two people. It's not necessary at all. Good luck with gestational diabetes and trying to shift three stone with a newborn to care for!

When pregnant you don't NEED to eat for two. Stop being so self-indulgent!

You don't need to eat for two, it's just an excuse to stuff your face. Eating for two is a myth.

No. It's weird. You're pregnant, not incapacitated...surely you can manage to get your own wind up? Put down the trifle and try

Either this is a windup or you need some help.

Is this one of those threads where OP is trying to be funny and everyone takes her deadly seriously?

I had awful indigestion when pregnant. I was physically unable to eat things like pizza and trifle, let alone stuff myself with them: I would have immediately been sick. And, to be honest, someone rubbing my back would just have been annoying.

No. This is one of those threads where OP is trying to be funny and everyone is trying desperately to figure out what exactly is funny about it.

One word should cover it.

Tragic.

I've got creepy adult baby scenarios in my head. You're not also wearing a nappy and having him deal with it in order to prepare him for fatherhood are you?

AIBU doesn't half get some shite posted these days.

BabyMurloc Windup or wind-up?

Oh FFS. Op trying to make lighthearted about something - what has got in to u lot of grumps!? Unnecessarily mean.

OP, yabu but as much as some of the other posters on here.
