How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
Is he supportive? Does he acknowledge you and the little baby inside you? Has he been affectionate or has there been a lack there of? Hows the sex? Is he scared? Does he help more or less around the house? Is he sympathetic to your hormones?

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He is more supportive and definitely TOLERABLE of me. Im not as moody as I was in beginning but im still hormonal. He is helpful when i ask him to be.
Sex...uh, more my fault that we dont BD  I get so TIRED and pass out! So right now, lack thereof and nothing to do with him. I feel bad. He dosent take that well sometimes though.
For most part he is being the best DH.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
My DH is being good so far. He doesnt quite like my moods though. He never backs down from a good fight. 
But he is being sweet and attentive. The only thing is that he doesnt understand some things which he will have to learn. Like he doesnt understand why I am sick. I'm like hello I'm pregnant.
Yesterday he bought me a reese's pieces sunday though.

He has been really sweet- very supportive.
Sex is non-existent- first because we were too nervous and then later because he was freaked out that there is a baby in me.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
My DH has overall been pretty good. Sometimes he gets frustrated and doesn't understand why I can't do all the things I used to (cook, clean, food shopping, etc.)
Many times he gets upset in the moment, but then looks back and apologizes for not being more understanding. I think this whole experience has changed him (and me) for the better!

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He has been great he always asks how am I feeling. and he is very helpful around the house with cleaning.
And understands when I can't cook dinner because I am too tired or too nasaeus to stand the smell. He goes out and gets us take out. He is just very sweet

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
DH is a SAINT! I knew he was going to be supportive but hes been above and beyond since i have such bad M/S, he cooks, cleans, does laundry, shops, etc, if i am feeling ok i will help him, but he doesnt expect me to do anything if i dont feel well and he wont let me clean bathrooms b/c we use products with bleach  i feel bad but sometimes i am too nausaeous to even get out of bed. plus i really try to help out if i am feeling OK. and he also hasnt been feeling well the past week and still hasn't complained. as for sex, pretty much 24 hour morning sickness is not helping in that department, but i try to do other things that dont include me lying down LOL...

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He is good for the most part. He got a little fed up the other day...but I don't blame him I am way moody right now. He's actually been very, very sweet and got a card and wrote a long, letter in it. Best letter I've EVER gotten. So I try to think of that when the littlest thing ticks me off but its hard. I'm just so testy lately.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
Last week, the sex life was slow.
Starting to look on the up & up now.
We weren't trying to get PG, so, seems as though we're thinking, "Well, we know it's 'safe time' now" LOL

Ditto the above. It was all good during the 2nd tri but lacking too much lately. He's too afraid he'll send me into labor!
DH was sympathetic in the beginning during my morning sickness. He hates seeing me sick. He was quite annoyed by the food aversions though.
Now that I have a huge belly and he can feel the baby move, he's been more emotionally attached. He tells me every day how he can't wait to see her and all the things he wants to do...rock her to sleep on his chest, hold her little hand, take her for stroller rides, play golf and get her into video games. What a sweetheart!

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
My husband has been AMAZING!!!!
We bought a new house that needed a lot of work....and I can't do any of it, so he's been ripping down wallpaper, moving furniture, and painting rooms....all without ANY help from me!
And anytime I don't feel well, he gets me something to make me feel better.
Poor guy has been having a rough couple of months dealing with me!

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
DH is great. I haven't lifted a thing. We are in an adjustment period though, I no longer work. So when he's at work, I get all my cooking and cleaning out of the way. It makes him feel bad to see me cleaning, so I wait till he is gone.
He wants sex all the time. I had no idea how much I was depriving him by making him wear a condom all those years.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He's supportive, but he forgets every now and then. Because I'm only showing a little, I think he thinks things are easier than they really are on me right now.
He's affectionate. Everynight, right before bed we listen to the heartbeat and he gives me a little kiss on the stomach. We still snuggle and cuddle too.
No sex for us right now - I'm on restricted activity.
He's definitely helping around the house, but then again, we hired a cleaning service right after we found out I was pregnant.
My only complaint is that he DOES NOT understand how to respond to my hormones yet. He thinks it's funny to push my buttons like he did before, not realizing that it almost immediately results in tears.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
I think DH is handling me and my pregnancy just great. He is very supportive and has picked up a lot of the slack ( I just wish he would pick up a mop and clean more)
Now that he can feel the baby he hangs out by my belly all the time. He talks to he and tries to hear her heartbeat.
As for the hormones, e is getting better. At first he would get upset and frustrated, but now he's taking it all in stride. He jokes that he has a list of stuff to fight with me about after the baby is born.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
Well at first, he was not very sensitive. And this weekend, when I first started getting MS he kept saying "you can't possibly feel that bad" But then he apologized and he's been great ever since. He even got up with our one year old and let me sleep in

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
My dh has been amazing and very supportive from the very beginning. I haven't been very hormonal or emotional at all until these last couple of weeks so he's had it easy. He does all the manual work around the house, but hired someone to do the cleaning. There hasn't been any s e x this entire pregnancy b/c in the beginning I was on pelvic bed rest due to bleeding and then I was just freaked out about it. BUT we are going to try to bring labor on soon!!!

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He deals with it but I dont think he enjoys me being pregnant when it comes to my hormones. I tend to overreact very quickly and I snap easliey too. It is better this time around. Their first time, man I could spill out a story in 60 seconds flat and then it would be over.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
My DH has been nothing but amazing. He's very excited about the baby and is very in tune to my new moods. He may not like them but he knows it's just a phase we're going through. He's very affectionate and will even bring me ginger ale when I'm sick in the middle of the night. I couldn't have asked for a better DH!

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
I am 100% happy and surprised a little with how well DH has handled the adjustments, my moods etc.
He is like a different, better person and we havent thankfully had one arguement yet...
Sex isisnt happening....We had IVF and were not "approved" till week 8 , ( 2 weeks ago)...we havent found the strength or courage to try it yet.
He helps out a lot more with the house cleaning, and errands and stuff.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
I am almost 8 wks and I must say DH is so supportive. He was prior to the pregnancy and I knew he would be there for me while PG.

Re: How has your DH been handling you and your pregnancy and your "hormones"?
He's been supportive so far. I'm sure some of you can relate to this situation -- as soon as I got my BFP, I stopped drinking coffee and diet soda, stopped taking my anti-depressants, and stopped having my usual glass of wine with dinner. Let's just say that this series of changes turned me into a major CRABAPPLE for a while. He's been really kind.
Also, he thoroughly cleaned out the refrigerator because there was some mysterious smell making me gag...
