Tbh he kinda has a point here... If he has to get up and go to work while you stay at home then is it fair to ask him to do night feeds. You can nap during the day and if you want to do the bare mini um the nthats ok, he can't nap or do nothing at work! Just my opinion tho.

As for ur bump... I'm afraid mine didn't show till I was about 30 weeks with dd... But oh could feel movements from about 20 so hopefully you'll be able to do that to get oh on board... Sounds like he's in slight denial!!!!

when we have a new baby dh works through week so I usually do night feeds in the week and on the weekend hubby will do it one of the days and he will have a lie in the other day, i didnt start showing with my first properly till i was about 6 months x

i can understand this - i wont be the one getting up to actually commute when Sophie is here so I wouldnt expect my oh to do night feeds except saturday night really cos he is the one bringing in the money

on the flip side, he cant rule it out altogether, and although i say the above i know simon will be so smitten with sophie he probably wont let me up in the night haaahaa

Oh my man said something similar to me in the beginning, your only ten weeks why cant you help my carry the fridge...like yea...i should be lifting a fridge...Men...tisk tisk

but I think they dont register that you are pregnant, like it doesnt hit them until they can see it. Men tend to be more visual I guess, my man said something like that me. That it hasnt really hit him, even though we've seen the baby on the scans and stuff that he just doesnt realize it yet, and he thinks itll be easier for him to understand once I am huge.

He also doesnt want to get up at night to feed, and is hoping I breast feed so that he never has to do anything. Except I am the one who will be working, so he better either grow breasts or learn to use a bottle
