Were you shown extra TLC? Were you spoiled? Or did anything change at all?

Sorry, if it's my body that's going to hell and things I enjoy doing going bye-bye for almost a year, I expect a few favors...;) Not saying I actually GET them!! :(

I know I'm not handicapped, and I know this is a special time...that's why I want to be treated special. ;)

My hubby is always very thoughtful and espcially so when I have been pregnant. He would go get things I was craving, take care of our other kids with my 2nd and 3rd prganancy and just be generally understanding. He is a great husband and a really wonderful Daddy to our kids!!

From your additional details i gather people are getting on your case, ignore them!!!
My husband has been very helpful and a couple times a week we "practice", this meaning we go through relaxation tenchniques we were taught in child birth classes. Basically a massage from head to toe on the left side then the right side. With relaxing music playing. This is what we plan to do during labor to keep me relaxed etc. On the nights my husband doesn't do the full deal he rubs lotion on my feet for me. He has helped with cooking, lets me sleep in while he comes down to open the store. Brings groceries upstairs and other things. Rubs my back off and on and sings and talks to his daughter every night before bed. He helps with odds and ends of other things as well. We are half way through out 37th wk and we tried for 4 months to get pregnant, then lost the baby a week after we found out we were pregnant. (which was a week before Christmas 06). Once our doc gave us the go ahead, 3 wks later we tried again and were successful the first try.
This will be my husband's first baby and my second. We have my 12 yr old son who he has known since he was 8, but has never had a baby to raise. He is excited and nervous about the whole thing, from what i can see anyway. He won't admit to the nervousness, but as i told him it's normal. Heck, i am nervous and i have been through it before LOL.
Anyway...i would say extra TLC, but my husband is generally a caring and loving person anyway, he just kicked it up a notch since we got pregnant.
It's a lot of work to be pregnant, your body is creating anothe rhuman being. I am really sorry if your husband is not giving you the added TLC you need during this time. I went through that with my son's father though, mostly. He had his times where he did his part in the TLC department, but it was not constant like it should be. I mean your hubby helped with the fun part of making the baby why not help you go through the not so fun parts? Not saying pregnancy is not fun, but there are parts you can do with out i am sure. Backaches and cramping etc etc.
Good luck!

Well, different at first. He was really quick to help around the house. (he usually helps, but it was cute) If i was sitting on the floor he'd get a chair for me. Even though I like sitting on the floor. Cute stuff. Oh and for some odd ball reason he wanted to be...well more active in the bedroom. I actually expected the opposite, but the extra activity was welcome. :-)
Unfortunately I had to go away for college and my husband is in the military so I guess I wont really know again until Dec. when I graduate. He treated me different and it was really cute.

well the 1st time around nothing special but this time around every 5 minutes i get a phone call while hes at work are you and the baby ok? so hes very worried and concerned... but if hes home and knows I'm ok its pretty much fend for myself... hes so excited though... he wants to do everything for the baby... pick the colors the bedding..the stroller...everything... I'm happy hes really involved this time around...and surprisingly hes hoping for a little girl...

Haven't been pregnant yet, but i don't think something would change if i was or when i will be. He would be very stressed and nervous, so I'd have to soothe him, not vice versa. Also I'm afraid that he would lose interest to me..

Nope- hes still a grumpy butt. He is very stressed too tho, so I understand. Yea- they dont carry the baby, but their preggers too! I say women are pregnant for 10 months, men are pregnant for a lifetime!

Practically nothing has changed... except for the fact that he suddenly cares what we name the baby. It's pretty annoying. He seemed fairly uninterested until the 6th month.
