Oh Jen, that's great that your dh helped out a bit, I had to have stern words with my dh too, it's hard for them to understand just how exhausting this whole thing is.
I think what also helped us was other women (our mums, my friends) and other father friends telling him also that is really is hard work to be pregnant! That helped him understand that though I was dramatic about it (pregnancy does that), I really wasn't making it up or exaggerating it.
Just keep communicating, try and understand him and help him understand you
And understand that sometimes men have rocks for brains and if you need to throw a few things at him to get through to him, well...
But HUUUUUGE hugs to you all girls, I remember how crapola I felt, eugh, I don't envy you! But I do feel for you - take care of yourselves, and find other people who will look after you too
Little note: Just having a smile to myself, my last pregnancy vent was pretty much 24hrs before I went into labour! I was pretty feral the whole day before, so if you get major crabbyness and downright b!tchiness when you're due...get your dh on alert :P
Take care girls.
