My other half usually does a fair bit round the house anyway so I'm quite lucky really... He does the hoovering, the washing and has been doing most of the dog walks lately too when I've been too tired after work. He cleans up after I cook as well. He hasn't been so great on the emotional side tho lol 😅 I don't think he gets it x
I’ve just been sick and missed the toilet and my husband has just cleaned it all up for me :-)
Cleaning around the house, making the beds or anything that would get me out of breath in seconds, doing some of the chores that were for me to do like our rule is whoever cooks doesn’t have to clean dishes and the mess after and he’s often taken on that. Going to bed early he comes with me so not to disturb me or wake me in the evening. He’s talking and cuddling me and the bump. Always offers to take my backpack and doesn’t let me do any lifting really unless I really insist. Helps me stand up from the bed in the morning as it’s getting harder, rubs my back when I’m sore. Had a hard time with my family and he’s there to support me and cheer me up. Lots of little food treats. He’s been incredible..!
My husband pays all the bills so I don’t have to be stressed with work while pregnant, cooks sometimes and helps with chores, looks after our two dogs: cleaning up after them and taking them on walks, buys me the food I’m craving, asks me what baby things he needs to buy, has put up all the nursery furniture, goes to every midwife appointment and asks lots of questions, asks how I’m feeling every day, helps me put on my shoes, always offers to carry things for me
I’ve not lifted a finger since the second we found out we were expecting as my partner insists on doing absolutely everything😅 he’s been absolutely amazing, above and beyond what I ever could have hoped for🖤
Cooks, helps clean, occasional foot rubs, compliments, brings snacks, lift heavy things, helps paying for baby things. Don't get me wrong he has his grumpy moments when he gets a bit fed up with me 🤣 he has been a huge help and so he should I'm carrying his child and this shit is not easy! X
My husband has been great: making sure I have time to relax, massaging my restless legs, cleaning and tidying around the house so I don’t have to, doing the washing and other household chores (he does them anyway but more so since I’ve been pregnant!) encouraging me when I’m low, complimenting me, working overtime so I don’t stress about money xx
Not sure where you’re all finding these men 😅 mine has always done very little and that hasn’t changed but he will play with our son or take him out when I ask so I can get things done x
he does 99% of the house work. He’lll always make me a packed lunch for work and bring me tea before he leaves in the morning. Always puts my shoes on for me and does allll the driving when we’re out together. He texts me and leaves me little love notes round the house telling me he’s proud of me which is probably the sweetest thing 😅 I’ve been so lucky, there’s nothing he won’t do for me… but to be honest he was like this before I was pregnant so I’m very grateful I know it’ll continue once baby is here
My husband is a huge help for me, he always did the household chores like cleaning and cooking 50/50 but since I’m pregnant he does like 80% of them even when I’m on maternity leave already and he does work overtime a lot lately. Any time I ask him to help me with some things like pass me something or clean up something he always does it. Litter boxes was always my thing to do before I got pregnant but now he takes care of cleaning after our cat and rabbits. He hates to do massages but he does that so often too, especially feet, since around halfway of pregnancy 😁 that I’m really grateful for xx He always brings me treats even he’s on the diet and it’s not easy for him when I eat so much sweets lately because of my cravings 🙈 he knows when I’m stressed out and always makes me laugh then ♥️ Of course he is not perfect, nobody is. Annoys me sometimes and leaves his dirty socks on the floor or things like that 😂 but he tries so hard and it would be so hard without his love and support ♥️💋🥰
My husband has decorated the whole of upstairs ready for our little girl coming! He's shaved my legs, puts my socks and shoes on, will not let me carry anything, from shopping to the wash basket, cooks my tea every night, makes my lunch for work, drives everywhere, cleans up all the time. I honestly honestly couldn't ask for a better person in my life. Just know he's gonna be the best dad in the world 😘💗
@Natalie my other half isn't great at driving so I insist on doing it... It stresses me out more being a passenger 🤣 x
Cooks (but he did that before) does pretty much all the cleaning and will help me carry the washing out to hang up. He's also good at foot rubs. Sometimes the emotional side of things hasn't been the best but I'll let him off haha
Yes mine definitely is but it has taken a little training and has improved as I’ve gotten bigger and he can actually see I’m growing a human. I’m off work at the moment, so I haven’t had to lean on him like I’m sure I would have if I’d have been working because third trimester is tough. My husband does the following: - calls me to check how I’m feeling during his working day - will go and get and cravings from the shops (I’ve only needed this a few times) - foot rub occasionally - understood my need for space and somewhere comfortable to go in the evening and get an early night - sometimes makes dinner when I’m not up to it despite me being off work - carries things that I can’t - encourages me to take it easy - lots of compliments about my body I think a lot of men (not all) struggle with empathy and unless you’ve pregnant, it’s so hard to fathom how hard it is! Also, if I was finding things a lot harder my list might be longer.
