He doesn't understand
I am almost 10 weeks along and I am exhausted and feeling sick majority of the day and it drains me more. I work from 730am to 4pm come home and have to take a nap anywhere from 2 to 4 hrs long. I have 2 kids and 2 dogs to feed and care for everyday and that brings dishes, laundry, clean up, baths and a million other things to do each day. My other half has been complaining all I do is sleep when I get home and he is bored.... it makes me feel bad like how do you not get my body is changing and working in overdrive to make this baby healthy. It's not easy and he just talks about attention attention attention and it's not a good feeling how am I going to make it through my pregnancy happily when it sounds like your so desperate for attention you may stray away? It's like I am expecting him to do something stupid because he doesn't understand what my day is like being pregnant ? #RantOver

Your baby comes first...make him read a book...they're are plenty of books out there for the man to read on what happens to us when we are pregnant

He doesn't get it... I will have to try something all he does is complain and I get no where it's like talking to a brick wall and I have no energy for it.

Maybe you need to stay with your family i.e dad, mum, sisters and so on for now .

Girls I Understand I'm in the same boat ?. So exhausting. But guess what we can't do it because the only thing they can do it's complain al day for attention.

He is getting better thank God... but he still doesn't get how tired I get and it's not by choice that I want to tired, my body just wants to rest and if he has an issue oh well haha!

Definitely be patient and try little things like I video chatted w him on his lunch break and, started dinner days ahead of time thawing food out and seasonin them but cooked once I had my nap also tried waiting on him so we could shower together I would sit in the floor and just talk and he would end up bathing me ( his gesture of appreciation) that I at least tried something then he'll let me sleep. And I totally get it it's hard my two are 4 and 2 and started feeling better at 15 weeks I'm now 16 weeks communicate team effort.

I so get it! My SO also complained about attention..mostly "making love" attention. Im so tired at night. I study during the day and have to take care of my 2 year old son aswell when I get home. Exams are so stresful. Feelimg sick most of the time. He just doesnt understand when I say Im not feeling well. He is complaining that we dont have passion anymore. And it feels like my mood for sex has completely left me. But he is complaining less each day and some days it really worries me. Currently 14 weeks pregnant

My husband was the same way. When I was 4/5/6 weeks I slept when I got home. Its exhausting going to work while making a baby 24/7 and then coming home and expecting to cook (if it's my turn) and to also entertain my 3yo. I broke it down for him and I'm like look it's not easy doing all these things. On top of that dealing with nausea all day. Cut me some slack here! Unlike you I don't have as much energy.

That's so sad :(.

It is very exhausting, I still feel like he feels I don't want to spend time with him. It's honestly hard trying to stay up when everything is done for the day, I get in bed about 1030pm so I am up from 6am to 1030pm busy and when I get in bed I fall asleep within minutes. I have tried to stay up and watch TV but I always pass out. I feel bad but when you think about our bodies changing and how many times a night we end up using the bathroom and all the broken sleep and daily stuff it's impossible to function off 5 or 6hrs of sleep like I did before this pregnancy...
