Mansplaining pregnancy

[LaMadrilena]

My husband told me the other day that I couldn't possibly be tired, I'm only six weeks gone and it's not like I've got a bump yet or anything...

So come on, I bet some of you have got some gems!

When we found out I was pregnant " shouldn't you be vomiting or something"
3 weeks later, vomiting up to 10 times a day and nearly hospitalised " maybe I should keep my mouth shut from now on"
He doesn't question anything anymore and now get the odd " you are doing great " while I'm vomiting 🤣

Mine is generally good but he did whinge about being exhausted the other day. I'd spent most of the night sharing a single bed with our non sleeping 2yo, I'm 31 weeks pregnant. I told him I was displeased with his attitude.

@cat709 That’ll be a comment from someone who hasn’t experienced HG themselves then!

Generally he’s been really good, but I have found that whenever I say ‘I feel dizzy’ or ‘I have such a headache’ or ‘I’m exhausted’ he’ll say he is as well! 🙄🙄🙄

Not whilst I was pregnant but about 10 days after I gave birth, after a particularly bad all nighter on the sofa with the baby, he walked into the living and announced that he felt really groggy as he’d SLEPT TOO LONG🙃🙄

You can imagine the response!

@Cafeaulait27 classic 'sympathy pains' 🙄 Dig deep, because there will be more of these gems. He'll be a great dad no doubt but men definitely do not understand our plight!

Not so much mansplaining but - whilst I'm sitting planning DH's birthday next weekend - I get a 'shall we bother doing anything for your birthday this year?' (It's my birthday 2 weeks before my due date) 'I mean, is there any point?' 🙄🙄😱.

I got 'you're being very dramatic' one day after I couldn't get out of bed...he knows never to say that to me again. I showed him how dramatic I could really be 😂

DH: sometimes I get so bored of walking upstairs to have a wee
Me who is never off the toilet:

He's a gem though!

It's our first. So I try to prepare myself and DP that birth might not go movie like with 5 pushes and here is a nice shiny baby.

So i tell him that apparently birth is the most painful thing one can experience and his response:

"Come on cannot be that hard or painful women have been giving birth for centuries without doctors or pain management"

And this really sets me off so i ask him if when he gets a tooth extracted he also declines anaesthetic because "come on his ancestors had tooth extracted without pain killers for centuries - cannot be that bad" and his response was:

" mmm well one can actually die of tooth infection but not childbirth"

🤨🤯🤯🤯😤😤😤😤

@SunnySideUp2020 omg 🤣 he needs to do some research bless him!

@SunnySideUp2020 dont want to get dark but I think you're much more likely to die giving birth than of toothache...

My DH keeps saying things like, "We shouldn't buy the pram yet because what if anything goes wrong and we lose it?" It makes me want to punt him into next year.
