I'm feeling like I didn't make my husband do enough weird stuff when I was pregnant oh so many years ago. I missed my chance.

You can rest easy that you're likely a nice person who doesn't force irrational and unreasonable demands on your partner.

My only craving was for Thai food so I went to the same restaurant every work day for lunch. By the 3rd week they had my meal ready for me :)

The cravings are real. A good friend of mine told a story about his wife's pregnancy. One Saturday, his wife made a cherry pie after lunch. He spent the afternoon thinking about how good that pie was going to be after dinner. They had dinner. But the cherry pie did not appear. When he questioned his wife, she admitted that she had eaten the entire pie.

I never had pregnancy cravings... was also a generally happier and nicer person while pregnant too... I think I did it wrong 😂

It was there for the whole afternoon. Kinda unreasonable to expect it to last that long.

When you're pregnant, especially very pregnant, you are basically operating out of your unconscious 80% of the time. Do not expect a pregnant woman to be 100% rational. Having a baby is really hard work for two people, which is why fewer people are doing it. My hat is permanently off to those parents who cope with it on their own.

Dunno why you were downvoted, a LOT of shit in your body changes during that period of pregnancy. Everything is a bit haywire, and it’s something the husband (or other partner) should come to terms with before they try for a baby (if it’s planned)

Hell, my mother became deathly allergic to some foods after pregnancy, eating some whacky foods and wanting the Christmas tree up is very mild

Same with my wife. She never had any weird cravings and I was disappointed I didn’t have to get up in the middle of the night to buy some weird shit to eat or something.

My wife’s only craving was for a ham sub from a local sub shop. She heated the ham when she got it home because of the no cold cuts while pregnant thing ate it and then puked a few hours later. After the second time I told her no more ham subs until the kids are born.

My wife was mowing the lawn a few weeks before our first son was born and wouldn't let me do it because I "wasn't doing it right". She'd literally never mowed before in her life.

We went to a concert (when she wasn’t pregnant) and drank her face off. We are walking back to our car, pukes on the sidewalk outside the venue, stands up and declares her improved feeling and keeps walking like nothing really happened.

So yes?

Also, I’m sure she’d love me posting all her puking stories on the internet

There's such a thing as male pseudo-pregnancy...look it up for next time.

Your only choice now is to get pregnant again and do all the weird stuff you can possibly think of! Just kidding lol
