And you could watch him try to do what us Mums do on an average day. Cook the tea, do the washing, keep the house respectable, care for the other children (as well as us), all while having a baby in their stomach rolling around. Plus he would have to deal with all our issues like we do theirs!!!
My Man would have a break down after 10 minutes!!! lol!! It would be so funny to see.
Anyone else think so???

I agree totally. I complain about cramps during my period and my husband just rolls his eyes. Like they would survive a period let alone pregnancy and birth!! Lol.

Yes, I agree.
I admit my husband is very sympathetic and tries hard to relate, sometimes I think it would be good for him to see things for himself. (Especially the other day when we were out shopping and I had to sit down twice in 5 minutes because I was feeling dizzy (usually after I eat) due to low blood pressure. His eyes kind of bulged with disbelief that I needed to sit down AGAIN, but hey! that's just how it is. Lwol)
Jackieod - that's exactly what I mean. Trust me, it's not the same. Our blood volume has increased by 50%, our hormones are changing our bodies - we're creating life for goodness sakes - and it takes an incredible amount of energy. A beer belly and pregnancy are just NOT the same. :-p
I don't think any of us so far are bitter against men, it's just a perspective we'd like to share. I worked a very stressful, high pressure job (up until a month ago) and most days I'd trade the varicose veins, low blood pressure and hemrrhoids for a day at the office getting yelled at by my boss and clients.

I totally agree, I don't think he would be able to handle the emotional strain the rush of hormones put me on with half of the dignity I do. Then throw in all my aches and pains, leaky breasts, walking like a duck, and the constant nagging question: "does this baby make me look fat?" He would be down for the count, and that is before he picks up just one of my responsibilities. I don't think he could figure out how to get out of bed, it's quite an acrobatic feat!

Wouldn't that be great!
I am pregnant with 5 weeks to go and looking after a 2 year old, a home and my husband.
He complains about little things like it's the end of the world, if he had to be pregnant and go through the labour...my gosh!!
I hate to think!

OMG I would pay some big bucks to see that!!!
If my husband had to be a mother, 'housekeeper' and pregnant for just one day he would be committed to a mental asylum the next day!
And I know plenty of other husbands that would be the exact same way! My best friends husband in particular.
However one of my brothers is so domesticated I actually think he could handle it surprising as that sounds! My other brother and brother in law,....forget it!!!

I totally agree. I have been nothing but sick my whole pregnancy and I would love for him to take over for a few hours just so he truly understands that it isnt my fault Im sick. I have been doing nothing but puking and sleeping for the past 19 weeks.... and now Im stuck all alone for the next 50 days while he's out to sea.... Just thinking about it pisses me off...

Women are pregnant for nine months. Men are pregnant for the rest of their lives after forty.
Have you ever seen a man with skinny legs and a massive beer boep! It's very funny!

Not at all... he'd immediately get crazy cravings and I'd have to drive him to the next town over so we can get those weird fruit shakes with the tapioca pearls on the bottom, and then I'd have to rub his back, and I'd have to help him pick up everything... He'd basically do payback for my pregnancy whims.

instead of having to go to work, pay ALL the bills, provide food and clothes for the family, possibly help pay for college tuition for the kids, worrying if he can make ends meet, and put up with all the nagging? Ill take moms job of keeping the kids entertained and watching Judge Judy while the wash is going...Maybe you should have thought about how pissed you would have been in your current condition, before you had another baby...
