DH no sympathy for pregnancy exhaustion

DC wanted to dance with me. Usually I'm up and bopping round the room with the best but this pregnancy has knocked me for 6. He's let me have a lie in until 930 which was nice but he doesn't seem to understand the physical exhaustion that I'm experiencing. Has anyone managed to get their DH to understand what its like to just feel like your body is twice as heavy and aches all over. I'm only 12 weeks!

@KellyW88
his favourite thing to say was “well you said you could manage this” and “just wait til he gets here if you’re tired now.” And I eventually flipped out and got very upset at his seemingly total lack of care.
Kelly I'm glad things are better now since your blow up but a pity it had to get that far. Apart from that I hope you are having a good pregnancy.

People are very keen to project their crtitisms here. As I said he's doing all housework, hes looking after DC and hes letting me nap. Hes also doing all night waking.
Hes a good man. He does things because I can't. But the exhaustion I'm feeling doesnt seem to understandable to him.
He is not a cunt, a wanker or a horrible person.

Welcome to mumsnet Blush it's a pain having to defend the person you have a small niggle against.

I hope you're ok Flowers
