  • Guys, Empathy and the First Trimester

    QUESTION

    We are nine weeks pregnant and I feel like @#$#@. My husband doesn't get it. His attitude is that since I don't "look" pregnant then I shouldn't be complaining.

    I'll be honest. Right now I AM a grouch after feeling exhausted, nauseous 24/7, and then trying to juggle my normal routine (at work and home.)

    I don't expect him to make it better but can't a guy have SOME sympathy?
