Blimey, he sounds like my hubby.

Yes, I totally agree with him and don't rush around as you've also got SPD. Don't burn too much energy and rest every so often after you've done a little.

I'm expecting my 1st on 18th November and i'm 41. This is the first time I have felt ever so exhausted doing a little bit of housework (as I am fairly fit) so I work for roughly half an hour then rest for an hour!

Hubby can't wait for our daughter to be born and he also talks to her as well!

Have you tried telling him how you are feeling? Men don't see things the way we would he maybe isn't aware about how he is making you feel try having a chat with him or arrange to go out for a nice meal and the cinema just the two of you. I no my husband and I often get stuck in a rut and it takes effort sometime to get out of it.

Hi Kim I am 35 weeks pregnant and my partner is exactly the same , but he was the same with our first daughter to (she is now two), and I have to say apart from not being great at getting up in a morning (never a strong point for him although he does work really long hours!) he is really good with my daughter baths her takes her out etc and I have to say as she has got older he has got better. i did think with this pregnancy he may be more interested so I decided to confront him about it and he said that he found it hard to bond with something that he cannot see and at the minute is not really connected to him. After thinking about this I can see his point I guess. So keep your chin up, from my experience it does change when the LO is born . Good Luck x x x

Thank you for your replies, I have confronted him about it and he basically says the same as ur hubby lynette93. Im sure he will be great once the baby is here and its good to know I am not on my own in this situation!! Thanks all!
