How do I get it into DPs head that being pg is not the same as carrying a baby in your arms?

Bless him, he tries to be supportive, but when I say my bump is hurting from standing up too long, he says it is helping to build up my muscles and is good exercise...he also seems to think I am moaning for no reason if I say I am tired, because I am only carrying a tiny baby, and he can carry 2yo DD for ages. I foolishly told him at the beginning of the pregnancy that I had read that you should train for childbirth like training for a marathon, and now he keeps trying to make me walk long distances and says that I should push myself beyond the pain barrier and walk faster and for longer then I can.

I know he is trying to help me be healthy, but my belly and back can be in agony sometimes (so much that I have to stop and do labour breathing and can't talk) and he seems to think I am just being soft!
