To ban DH from complaining about feeling unwell whilst I am pregnant?

First trimester, battling constant sickness and exhaustion. If DH moans once more about feeling tired or having a bit of a sniffle WIBU to LTB?

(To be fair he's doing a decent job of looking after me and picking up the slack round the house whilst I'm in bed or slumped over the toilet bowl, but still, not an excuse)

I do remember Dh complaining that he could hear me throwing up and he didn't like it. Bless.

The evening I gave birth to DD, I asked DH to hurry back to the hospital the next morning because I was terrified of having full responsibility for her and wanted backup in case I wanted to go to the loo or something. He said he'd be in late because he was tired after the labour and needed extra sleep.

Reader, I didn't kill him and bury him under the patio but it was close.

not sure that would have gone down well in my case: MIL had a masectomy when I was 3 months pregnant and FIL had a heart attack a couple of days after dd was born

for my second pregnancy, MIL still had cancer and FIL had a second heart attack

they were very sweet and apologetic about it, bless them, but it was a little difficult for me to pretend that I was the chief sufferer

greenfolder - Shock

notapuffin - my DH did the same, was expecting him when visiting hours started after a very long and lonely night and he sauntered along after a lie-in as he was 'tired' (I was so tired I genuinely thought I'd sustained some kind of brain injury during labour as I could barely string a sentence together).

I do warn all my younger pregnant colleagues that at some point after they have given birth their partner will complain that they are tired and it will give them the rage !
