How can i best support my husband during pregnancy?
My husband has been a saint this entire pregnancy in every single way. I have almost always been the breadwinner but due to pregnancy discrimination ive been struggling to bring in income, some weeks at all. Were 6 weeks till my due date still and hes putting on such a brave face but i can tell hes feeling burnt out and powerless and overwhelmed. He does so much and i want to support him during this time too, hes scared and overwhelmed at becoming a parent for the first time too. Any advice?

You could do something nice for him. I know not everyone has the funds for a weekend away especially if you’ve been out of work but that’s an idea. Maybe do him a self care basket, run him a bath and give him a massage. Also make sure to communicate to him how thankful & grateful you are for all he’s doing for you & baby. Make it known you are there for him etc xxx

I send mine for massages. It’s the only thing that he can have just for him, it helps him relax and have an hour for himself without feeling guilty and it helps him sleep better and relieves tension. My husband said - give him an evening (or an hour or a morning or whatever works) to just do something he loves doing that he would enjoy if he wasn’t responsible for so much. For example, if he loves golf then gift him an afternoon of golf and send him with love to go an refill his jug. If it’s gaming or seeing friends or swimming … just give him some time that’s set aside for him to not carry the weight of everything and have some time for him ❤️ Also just telling him how much you appreciate him always goes a long way :)
