Yup he knows about it ALL....we are very open with eachother..we share everything. I share things with him I would never share with my girl best friend.



This is us, too. And the way I see it...if I have to deal with it, he's gonna hear about it Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I tell him most of it. From fire nips, to leaky nips, constipation. Lol. I haven't told him about the increase in discharge b/c that is where I draw the line. Chat Icon

Yes I do!

We are in this together, like everything else. I did not marry someone to be afraid or uncomfortable to share/talk/discuss things with. He is my best friend. He is the only one i DO feel comfortable sharing everything with, including pregnancy issues. But DH is not to type to be grossed out by anything like PG stuff.




Whatever works for you, but I know my DH doesn't want to hear about my gas or discharge and that is fine with me. Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon and it has nothing to do with being afraid or uncomfortable Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I tell him everything, nothing to hold back. We have been together for 9 years and married for 1 year so I'm absolutely comfortable telling him all even the not so wonderful stuff. He is very use to it.

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I just wanted to say that there was a poster on here once who told us that her husband said that she handled pregnancy so gracefully and without complaint. . . I thought to myself, WOW what a compliment and I really try to do the same. Of course, I wouldn't lie about discomfort - but he doesn't need to know all the gory details. I want him to have sex with me, not offer me a Tums Chat Icon

But I was like this before pregnancy and I will be like this after. Everyone is different with what they are comfortable with!

ETA: We have been together for 12 years before I get one of those "just wait" responses. Chat Icon

I don't come home w/ daily updates of gross things, but as things happen I do usually mention them to him. He's grossed out but i hope it makes him have some sympathy for me! Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I do, but mine's a medical professional, so he's either heard it before, or is curious to hear about it.

I keep the "emotion" type of things to myself. Like when I'm a little cranky, I don't go into it, I just say its not a good day for me, bear with me. I kind of wait to gather my thoughts and sum it up for him in digestible bites... so that he doesn't start asking me if its his fault Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I bought him a dad to be book and he was telling me things in the beginning. So I would say he prob knew more than me at one point.

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I'm pretty open with him about the pregnancy stuff. He's my husband, not to mention that he's going to see a bloody, sticky baby come out of me amongst everything else that spills out during labor. I only share as needed, especially if it's changing my mood, or I'm in pain of any kind. It helps him understand me better during this time.

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I tell him about EVERYTHING. Even show him some things! lol. He's oddly very interested in it all and the way I look at it - I didn't do this alone, why should I go through it silently? Chat Icon

Most of it. We don't talk about discharge. Ever. Chat Icon



Ditto, we don't talk about discahrge, but I have at some point or another told him just about everything else.



Same here. I've told him most things but there are others that he just does not need to know!Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

This is #3 for us, so he knows the due date.Chat Icon

Or he knows when I feel like crap or have a headache since I lay around like I'm on my deathbed.

When I delivered my first born, they were short a nurse in the room so my DH had to step up and hold my one leg back and probably saw more than he ever wanted to during delivery, down to the ultimately gross thing that you can't control, a bowel movement, so he's well informed. Chat Icon

I'm grossed out just typing that. ICK!

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I told him most things, but left some out.I pretty much told him anything that hurt or was uncomfortable. I was contantly constipated so he heard lots of about pooping, or lack there of. I cried to him when I got a vericose vein on the side of my vejayjay. But thankfully that is gone and disappeared almst immediately after having DS. But we never discussed discharge. There was no need for that one to come up in coversation. Chat Icon

Re: Do you tell your DH/SO everything (regarding pregnancy)

I give him the G rated version. He doesn't need to know about all the details even though he probably wouldn't mind. It's more on my end..since I'm kind of private with that kind of stuff. But..I did have to let on to the gas since the other day I leaned over to pick something up and farted. Chat Icon He couldn't stop laughing.
