Honestly, don't be offended, but, I think it is the pregnant lady herself that just gets a little more touchy. It's not the husband being "stupid"- he does the same dumb annoying things as he did before- what changes is the wife's rational ability to overlook it and love him anyways.
I've been there, and I can look back in retrospect as to how uptight I was. My husband never changed. He was and is always the thick-headed scatterbrained man that I love more than anything.

Sweetie this is your hormones talking!! When I was pregnant with my first child, I noticed around my 20th week that I became really picky about where things are. I think it has more to do with "nesting" than anything else. You just feel the need to have everything in its place. Try to ease up on your hubby. You are going through changes that he has not idea how to deal with. Most men see pregnancy as a woman having her period. They cannot ever understand what you go through in either case. I would suggest praising him when he does help out, and if he does something wrong like not washing all the dishes, or half way sweeping the floor, I would tell him " honey can you finish what you started....hurry please because I want to take a bath and give you a back rub." you would be amazed at how quickly they get it done! Also when you start doing little things for them like that, you would be amazed at how they get into the routine of doing things that you usually would have to tell them to do. Plus they will start giving you back rubs and foot rubs as well!!! Try it for a bit! hope it all works out for you!! :)

Maybe you are just less tolerant than usual. Tired, hormonal, sick, hungry, blah, and happy, this is usually what goes through a pregnant woman's mind in a matter of minutes, lol. I'm not picking on you I've been there twice (and 2 miscarriages early on) and as soon as I'm up the duff I can't stand incompetence, or stupidity, lol. so naturally if it bugs me I will notice it everywhere. Not Good, lol. But try to give your fella some slack, he is going through some changes too, not like you where you feel every single thing because you are growing another person, his is more of a I know this is happening but it isn't sinking in, and wont until the baby gets here. Let him be a stupid head, just as long as he doesn't keep on the same way after the baby is born. The baby needs two carers, lol.
Good luck, hopefully it will get better soon.

Not sure about them getting mote supid but I do know that ones tolerence level for stupidity falls short when ones pregnant.... that might be it. Just try and be patient with him, you never know whats going through his mind and maybe it's the stress of knowing he has to care for a little baby thats making him a little absent minded...hey at leaste he is doing the dishes and sweeping the floor...even if its not properly, the sweet intentions are there.....
Good luck :)

My husband is like this when I'm NOT pregnant. BIG time stupid! But now that my tolerance levels have lowered even more due to the normal pregnancy crap we go through he is unbearable. Everyone tells me it's just MY hormones goign crazy, but we fight about the same things now, I'm just more intolerant of his blatant ignorance which he seems to have no intention of improving which makes ignorance stupidity.

Your hormones make everything irritating seem more noticible. I am going through the same thing but we have to remember that it is OUR hormones doing it. We are just more crabby lol. Good luck and try not to strangle him!
