Hello,

I'm really curious how this is going?

Also, a couple of people were asking if this nagging went on before the pregnancy.

Either way, I think that its important that you express yourself to your partner. Otherwise, you are permitting it.

Also, I think the suggestion of bringing this up to a doctor is good (especially if you've communicated about it) in case there are underlying medical issues.

My partner did nothing when i was pregnant, maybe the occasional help with cleaning and that was it. He did work tho, but would sook that nothing was done when i was feeling sick. Your wife should be greatful she doesnt have to cook and clean, it really is unfair. It could be the hormones but unless she is chucking her guts up 24/7 or she has been put on bed rest then there is no excuse for her not to help. I really do hope things change for you and everything resolves once your baby boy is born.

My bf said i was hormonal when i was pregnant, so if we were arguing i would fire up a littl emore but i never abused him and i wasnt lazy.

I j7ust think sh eis using teh fact of being a pregnant an excuse for not doing anything. Gosh even when i was in early labour having contractions 3mins apart for 3 days i stil did things around the house lol

is she playing on this pregnancy thing a little too much?was she like this b4? u guys are only  half way through gestation(only the other day you going for 20 week scan).i think she need a reality check she only pregnant not on her last legs! she should be  EXTREMELY grateful.you are a great man and make sure you spell that out to her.not sure how!sorry. one thing though, tell her she's beautiful.

Hi, Sorry I am not a father however, I am presuming that the majority of people on here are women!

Pregnancy affects each and everyone of us differently....some get tired some are full of energy, some get morning sickness some of us don't, some feel like having sex all the time some don't even want to think about it, some get moody some are extremely happy, some put on lots of weigh some don't etc.  We have no control over our hormones and throughout pregancy and even after until things settle they are all over the place. Sometimes we know within ourselves that what we are saying or doing is wrong but for some reason you cannot stop yourself (hope that makes sense) i guess you will never really understand it unless you have been through it.

I think this question is important to reflect on......was your partner like this before she feel pregnant or has it been since she fell pregnant?  If your answer the the above is yes, then you chose to have this baby with this woman if the answer is no then all I can say is be patient, have a little understanding, try to remain clam and not so sensitive.  

Maybe try sitting down and when your parnter is in a `happy, calm' mood have a talk with her about how you are feeling.  This type of conversation can either be positive or negative depending on how you approach it and express yourself.  Try not to attack her or put her down in anyway otherwise she will get on the defensive side and it may cause a huge arguement.  Try expressing your thoughts through I statements so that it is about you and not her eg; I feel frustrated when I am cooking all of the time and it doesn't seems to be appreciated.

Could you try getting your partner involved in the cooking, cleaning etc make it a couple think, spice it up, have fun! 

I wish you luck and hopefully things go back to `normal' for you 

Not a father but as a mum who does everything, just stop doing it! She will soon learn to appreciate what you do & if she doesnt then maybe she will understand BYE BYE!

Life is to short to stay where you are getting abused & are unhappy.

Good luck, hope things get better.

Cheers Dee

Sorry - I'm not a Dad - but those raging hormones along with all the other being pregnant stuff does change a women. (well - most LOL)

Can you pop along to the GP with her for the next appointment and bring it up?

Apart from that - lots of cyber hugs and congrats on the impending birth!
