How has your partner treated you during pregnancy?

I wish my partner would be more empathetic to how much stress and change i have to go through in order to grow our baby. The body changes, all the hormones and symptoms that come with it, going to all the dr appts, the tiredness especially still working full time. I know this sounds like i’m looking for a pity party but I mean come on!! Give me a massage or tell me i’m appreciated or something!! Have your partners treated you special since becoming pregnant??

My partner was very thoughtful and always kissed the bump and helped more in the house. I'm so sorry he's not better. Have you tried expressing your thoughts?

Oh I hear you! 21 week IVF pregnancy, still doing daily injections, working full time, weekly hospital visits. I've asked him to stroke my hair and get told 'No, I want to relax' ok no worries 🙃 some of them just don't get it 😅

My husband has been really affectionate but not to the point of a massage etc. TBF, I haven't felt awful (ie not actually vomiting) but he has been understanding if I've needed a nap, wanted snackies. I think they just don't get how hard it can be tho! Like I would like a head massage for my headaches but 🤷🏼‍♀️. My husband is more of a "do things" person so he'll cook dinner and breakfast for me, or tidy up rather than massage me etc

I think my partner forgets I’m pregnant, we brought a real tree this weekend and he seriously asked me if I had took it out the car and brought it inside
