Is it really too much to ask for OP's husband to be just a wee bit sympathetic for, like, 6 months out of the rest of their lives together to be considerate of OP's physical state? It's not like she's two weeks pregnant and NOT sick here. I don't know if you've ever been/seen a 7-months-pregnant woman before, but it's not exactly a "Presto!" moment trying to move around or stand up from a sitting position, not to mention the weak bowels and back pain that come with it. Unless he's rendered immobile from puking his guts out, fading in and out of consciousness, and passing out in the bathroom, he's more than capable of driving to the store and picking up some tissues. Seriously, people, he's a married man that happens to be sick; he's not a helpless infant or heavily-pregnant woman.

It's not too much to ask at all. I was suggesting that OP could stand her ground and have her husband do something for himself instead of sitting around complaining. That's all I meant. I can't imagine it's easy to move around when you are 7 months pregnant.

If they live together and have the same symptoms she can safely assume she's just as sick as he is AND she's pregnant.

While I don't agree with the sentiment, #18 has a point. My ex-girlfriend had an extremely weak immune system. Whenever I got a little sick, she'd catch whatever I had but get hit ten times harder. However, OP would know something like that, and even if he does have a weak immune system, she's still sick *and* pregnant.

When you're pregnant, you do have a weak immune system. I'm almost eight months pregnant. Even having a sinus cold kills me. He needs to man up and help her out. Its not easy being pregnant.

You are a trooper... I would have slapped him into next year were I in your shoes.

Yikes! Thankfully if my husband were to end up that ill, whether diabetes, depression, hepatitis or broken legs...we both have relatives that would be right here helping us out. Siblings, parents, even some cousins. Hope he's recovered or has symptoms managed well enough that you're both able to contribute!

you would slap him for having panic attacks and suffering from anxiety disorder? i hop you never meet some one i a wheel chair..

I don't know why this statement is being down voted, it's 100 percent true, at least in my case it is.

Yes, like you said true in your case. But not in all cases. I don't understand this man flu thing. I pull through fine being sick.

I turn into an infant when I can't breath from my nose.

Honestly, I really don't understand the "man flu" thing. If I get sick, it sucks, but I certainly don't act like a wounded puppy because of it. But then again, my brother and father do ...

It has been proven for some time now that men often get sicker than women. This is due to womens immunesystem being stronger than that of men. Why it has evolved this way they are not sure.

I have no idea where your getting your information, but that is not true. It's reversed, women get much sicker than men.

I didn't say men get sicker, I'm saying when they do they are babies. I know I turn into one myself. All my married friends say the same about their husbands.

when my husband gets sick no one can ever be worse than him even if I'm sick too he's always worse
