Yeah cause one person is experiencing pregnancy and the other person is complaining about another person experiencing pregnancy. Like if you break an arm it’s pretty reasonable to be upset even if you’ll be fine, if your wife breaks an arm you better not be complaining more than she is. One person is upset a thing is happening to their body (ouch) the other person is upset that that thing happening to their partner impacts them (hmm maybe not about you right now).
Women’s pain is dismissed so often. There’s a lot of ideas about women being dramatic and or attention seeking that genuinely impact the healthcare they receive. Seeing people surprised by or dismissive of the pain that occurs during pregnancy and birth is just a reminder of this.
You never really know what something will be like until it happens. Piss and moan about whatever you like, there aren’t any rules. What an honor to be inconvenienced by another person. What better measure of success than becoming someone who others feel safe with? I hope to carry as many burdens as I can for as many people as possible. Life is hard why not make it easier for eachother. Idk man HMU when your pregnancy goes exactly as you expect it to and I’ll eat my words. 🤷♂️

She gets to complain. Despite warnings, she is still experiencing physical pain. Warnings don’t stop pain from happening.
Men aren’t experiencing pain. They know what to expect. So what’s their excuse?
