Is anyone else so annoyed with their husband? I know he means well but he wont let me eat or drink anything. NO pizza, no candy, no sweets, no caffine, no processed foods.
Ok, ok I get it. I should be eating healthy and I am. But a girl cannot drop chocolate, caffine and comfort food all at the same time. Its not realistic to say I will eat spinach and chicken breast for 9 months. especially while Darling Husband is ordering pizzas and bringing home cookies that he wont let me eat.
I am just really annoyed and know it is going to lead to a big arguement real soon.

and just to be clear, I am not wanting to eat these foods daily. I eat fairly healthy and know what I should only eat in moderation, etc. But he cant bring home a pizza for dinner and tell me I cant have any, etc.

bestbuddies: I’d be annoyed too, especially since he is eating them in the house with you.

Wait, so he put you on a diet and then eats foods that you’re “not allowed to eat” in front of you?
And you’re just “annoyed”?

What? Why are you letting your husband dictate what you eat? How can he tell you that you “can’t” eat something? If you want a piece of pizza, eat it. What exactly does he plan to do about it?

When did you give up control of your own body?

So if you’re at work, and you want a cup of coffee or a sode (both are fine in moderation, I am six months pregnant and I have caffeine almost every day, my doctor said it was FINE) do you not have it because your husband said you couldn’t? Sorry, this is weird. It’s one thing for your husband to be concerned that you are gettinge nough nutrients, sleep, etc, but it’s quite another to tell you what you can and can’t eat.

bestbuddies: If Darling Husband did this, pregnant or not, we would have major issues.
Assuming you don’t have celiac, what’s wrong with pizza or cookies? I would ask him what his deal is and lay out that you expect him to be supportive, not a giant ass.

bestbuddies: Umm, NO! You should eat whatever it is that you want, RIGHT in front of him. Even if my husband told me I couldn’t have something, I’d eat it anyway. He doesn’t control me or what I put in my body. Especially while pregnant. If you want a slice a pizza, by all means HAVE IT! He’s not the one creating life all day.

Well, I guess this validates my concerns. I thought I was just being a fat crazy pregnant lady. Although, I think I should have explained better. No, I am not letting him control me. I realize I typed “he wont let me” thats untrue. Not sure why I tryped that. I am the only person who controls what I put in my body. he is making strong suggestions of what I should and should not be eating. which is very annoying and I dont appreciate. however, i know he is just worried about our unborn child’s health and is doing it in a loving way. he is not being mean or anything just saying things like “you shouldnt eat that, that is not healthy”. etc. I still choose what I put in my body but it its not very fun eating pizza when your husband is making you feel guilty about it.
sarals24: no way. I have a cup of coffee every moring monday-friday he knows that he just doesnt like it.
turnanewleaf: yes, he literally brings home pizza and tells me I SHOULDNT have it because its unhealthy. Who wants to eat something when someone is sitting there judging them?
sarals24: there is nothing he can do about it and he knows that. he doesnt hide pizza from me or forbid me. he just says I shouldnt eat it. at the same time, he is my husband and I do agree with him to a point. at the same time, he has no idea what its like to be pregnant. If the roles were reveresed I doubt he would be eating 100% clean.

Pollywog: oh believe me, this is a problem. DH has never said anything to me about my diet prepregnancy (he has always known better) however since I got pregnant he thinks he now has a say about what goes in my body because it no longer just affects me.

Ummmmm he either needs to be a true partner and make the eating changes with you oeat off of you. His choice. You are the one who is pregnant and who knows what her body needs. ridiculous.

bestbuddies: If you have to change your diet for the sake of the baby then he should committ to changing his diet to support you! You’re both having a baby here, you shouldn’t have to eat spinach and chicken breast while he has a pizza and wings. Talk about unfair!

bestbuddies: Honestly, if he is so concerned about your health, he should be concerned about his & change his diet accordingly.

bestbuddies: Darling Husband would lose a limb if he ate pizza in front of me and told me I shouldn’t eat it. Seriously, if he wanted me to eat “healthier” (and pizza isnn’t inherently unhealthy), he needs to support me and be a good example.
Here is some good information you can show him…
<h4>How to prevent miscarriage:</h4>
- consume chocolate (causes a 17% lower risk of miscarriage) more…
- consume dairy products daily (leads to a 33% lower risk of miscarriage) more…
- consume cheese (causes a 50% reduced risk) more…
