If you have bad morning sickness, do they help you out in the kitchen if you can't stand the smell of food? Do they let you sleep longer if you have had a sleepless night? Do they do extra housework without being told or complaining if you are to sick to move?

My husband was very supportive. If I did not want smell, do, lift, or carry something, he did it. Offensive smells were taken care of. Things that normally would not have bothered me when not pregnant became his job. My youngest is 10 and he is still very supportive. This is something that would be nice to check out before pregnancies. See how your mate acts when your down with a flu/cold. That can give you an idea of what he will be like with a pregnancy. If he is not good maybe he needs reminding about the "in sickness and health" thing.

I am 23 weeks and didn't have morning sickness, but that didn't stop my husband from doing everything. At first he wouldn't let me lift a finger. I have convinced him to back off a little and that I won't break. Now he still does most of the housework and cooking. He bought me gift certificates to the spa for prenatal massages. I couldn't ask for a better husband. I know it will go back to a more normal balance when the baby is born. He is just overprotective right now since this our first.

Umm... no not really. I hurt all the time and its like pulling teeth to get a massage.
Mine will be a sweetie and get me something to eat, but he still asks me whats for dinner, and complains that i dont make him breakfast.
For a long time he just complained about how messy the house was, and how gross it was... but he eventually started cleaning on his own.
He didnt have any issues with me sleeping more. He knows i dont sleep well, i never have. So thats never been an issue even before pregnancy.
Although he's not into this pregnancy at all, and gets grossed out just seeing my belly, and ESPECIALLY if he touches it while the baby moves. Nothing like your husbands response to the news of a first baby being "GREAT YOU'VE RUINED MY LIFE, I HOPE YOU"RE HAPPY, YOU GOT EVERYTHING YOU EVER WANTED!" and not touching or looking at you for three whole days.
Some guys are just jerks.

When I first became pregnant, I had horrible morning sickness (morning, noon and night). At one point, my husband was getting a little frustrated with me because when I finally had an appetite to eat, I would think I wanted one thing, but when it was in front of me, I didn't want it anymore. One day, my husband goes, "Make up your mind!" and I responded by saying, "Please understand! This isn't easy and I can't help it!" Needless to say, that was the only complaint he's had since I've been pregnant and I'm now 36 weeks.
Now, my husband does all the laundry (I try to help him and fold, but he doesn't let me). He gives me back rubs every night even when he's tired because he sees how hard it is for me to walk. He also puts my socks and shoes on for me. He helps me out of bed, off the sofa and out of the car. I couldn't ask for more! It's great!!!

When I was pregnant I had a rare form of morning sickness called Hyperemesis. I was sick for a very long time. I lost weight which I didn't need to loose. My hubby was very supportive during this time. I think he was scared I was going to loose the baby and made sure I was cared for constantly. Some days I didn't eat anything. Couldn't keep water down. Fathers to be should support their babies moms as it is very difficult to do anything when you feel like crud! It's for the health of the baby and it's momma.

Well mine did some. I was so sick from 5 weeks to 6 months I could not do anything and if I did I was sitting in the bathroom puking. Yes the house was not as clean as I like it but he did help out.

My husband is more than supportive,
Thank G-d! He doesn't let me do a thing around the house and rubs my feet and back. I wish all woman could have a husband like mine.

Deppends, sometimes they just don´t understand your cramps and may believe you are exagerating, but they will help more if you enroll them more in the pregnancy process letting them know already exactly waht it is that you feel and why his help will mean a lot to you. Mine was like a child, but he became very very supportive.
