Husbands!

Does anyone's husband or boyfriend tell you to give the baby more room when you sit or any situation? My husband and I were at the pool and I went swimming and he told me to not swim to hard it can hurt the baby! If anyone else has a man in their life that do this find it annoying yet funny please share your story!

Mine doesn't let me jiggle or poke the belly at all because according to him I'm bothering the baby. If he sees me doing it, he literally runs over and moves my hand and tells me to stop waking up the baby. Lol. Ohh gosh makes me laugh !

My fiance is easy going but my father in law is like that! Lol hes constantly making sure i eat, always holding my hand if I have to cross over a bump on the ground, and he never wants me to enter a room that dusty or may have chemicals in the air. The other day he came with us to look for houses, i touched the dried paint that was peeling from the outside of the house and he freaked out telling me that it may have asbestos. Lol it does aggravate me but yet i cant help but laugh at his concern.

mine will wake me up out of a dead sleep (which we know r hard to come by) if I'm on my stomach or right side! Wth I yelled at him and told him if he did it one more time I will poor cold water on him while he's in his deep sleep snoring his head off! He did the my whole last pregnancy also and takes full credit for her being ok cause he "saved her while I slept" ugh so annoying

I also wanted to add that when I was first pregnant with my first baby, my mom told me not to laugh too hard for too long because she thought I would "scramble the egg" I told her that the "egg" is already a "baby" and that laughing is OK! LOL

Not to swim too hard?? That's silly lol :) Swimming is actually good exercise during pregnancy. Tell him that next time!

My husband isn't usually like that with anything. But this is our 4th pregnancy but 3rd baby.. My mom however, she will not even let me jiggle my belly, tap my belly or anything else cause she thinks it'll disturb the baby LOL

My man won't let me lift anything (honestly he gave me trouble in the stir for lifting a case of coke. And he moved a couch upstairs by himself cuz it would hurt baby and he only let's me carry in the light bags from the store) and he almost put my shoulder out in the winter cuz I lost my footing on ice and he grabbed my elbow and lifter me up after that I wasn't allowed outside without holding his hand just in case. He's super sweet but it canget to be a little much (especial because at work I have fallen on my but and move shelves and lift kids well over what a case of coke weighs )

When I lightly poke my tummy to make the baby move (when she was just moving and twisting around) my husband shoves my hand away, lays his hand on my belly and says "Leave my baby alone!!" Hahahaha
