AIBU To fib during pregnancy? (Lighthearted).

[LouBlue1507]

Hi Ladies!

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and just wondering if anyone else has told any little white lies to their OH throughout their pregnancy?

• I've told my OH that women aren't to hoover during the 1st and 3rd trimester hehe!
  

AND

• I can't bend over enough to shave my legs and my OH does it for me! (This isn't a complete fib, I can bend but it's a struggle)!
  

Anyone else? Do you feel guilty at all? I don't hehe x

Hehe I linked several things to not being able to change cat litter whilst I was pregnant.....I claimed I couldn't empty the bins etc either

I confess I even claimed it whilst I was breastfeeding in case toxoplasmosis was passed through breastfeeding milk (in my defence I said I was worried about it not that it was a fact ) and dh has continued after breastfeeding has stopped ..... he apparently hasn't noticed it's become his job and I've no intention of pointing it out lol

I'll admit, I'm pregnant and have had morning sickness and nausea throughout. Most days, but not 24/7. If I can't be arsed doing something I turn on the 'morning sickness' card. I don't feel bad either. I do vast majority of the toddlers' childcare, including driving to nursery, bedtimes, and playing monotonous games over and over. I cook most nights (DH is useless and burns everything), I'm working 3 days a week picking up half my team's workload and the only time I catch a proper break is when I take a day off when DD is at nursery so I get a whopping 8 hours to myself every 3 months. Plus, I actually do feel sick through about 75% of all of this. Too bloody right I'm milking it for all its worth

Our dining room needed painted when I was suffering pretty badly from morning sickness, I said I wasn't allowed to paint with even water based paints so he had to do it himself. I've since painted the nursery
Think he knows I was fibbing by now.

I had SPD, some days I could manage better than others and on the days I didn't feel so bad I still made DP fetch me food and drinks

Also one time we were getting down to business and he was strongly hinting at oral, I couldn't be arsed so I told him it can bring on morning sickness, got away with it for the 1st trimester.

Cake is super food! Don't let anyone else tell you otherwise

[Roobix04]

Luckily I don't have to lie about not being able to do the cat litter. When I was pregnant with dc1 I tried to convince my sister that cake is a pregnancy super food

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

lou if he goes "really?" Then I just do a horrified look and say "errr, toxoplasmosis/campylobactor/botulism!" I just don't like changing the bin bag.

[Beth2511]

Haha did the bin one too and cleaning the rabbits out

[FuckingFattyBitch]

I didn't have to lie. I had very severe SPD and couldn't do anything for myself anyways still can't do some things .

[leopardspice]

I did tell dh pregnant woman cannot change bins due to the bacteria risk. I linked it to the reason I couldn't do the litter tray either haha!

[LouBlue1507]

StarkyTheDirewolf Haha love it! Luckily we're in a flat so no stairs for me I like not having to change the bin bags one too!

[Ffion3107]

I suffer with SPD and sciatica, but when I tell him I'm in pain and can't do certain things he doesn't believe me (or doesn't understand how painful it is) either way - it's frustrating!
So make the most of having a gullible husband

[StarkyTheDirewolf]

I'm 16 weeks on Wednesday. Pregnant women aren't allowed to change bin bags because of germs. Or touch bleach.

I did try the hovering thing, but he's a better hooverer than me away so even if I do hoover he just does it again. But I'm DEFINETLY not allowed to hoover the stairs, because of potential over balancing I have absolutely no bump to speak of

[Buggers]

That's brilliant . Wish I'd thought of that when I was pregnant with dd.
