    I don't recall my oh asking when I was due with either of my 3 but then I didn't know until I had a scan anyway as my monthlys are irregular.

    Good luck!

    But I'm guessing you probably mentioned you were pregnant to your OH :)

    Rationale for it being a wind up - apart from the obvious (surely you would talk to your partner rather than strangers on a forum), the alleged symptoms are so textbook, e.g. craving pickles, being sick, taking folic acid, giving up smoking and drinking.

    When you couple it with saying they don't use contraception, it's just silly!

    I just find it weird that he doesn't just ask her. If I display any of the textbook symptoms, despite the fact that we use contraception, my OH will ask 'Do you think maybe you're pregnant?' and we talk about it from there. I don't usually bring it up unless I am late, as I often display symptoms in the lead up to that time of the month anyway.

    but presumably you did tell him when you found out your due date yourself, or soon afterwards? That doesn't seem to be happening in the OPs relationship, which to be honest, all sounds very weird.

    Congrats OP - ignore the unwanted advice on everything you didn't ask for advice on and hope all works out well for you both

    Enjoy the ride - a new life awaits!!

    Congratulations :D

    And I do agree with other posters in the fact that you gotta learn to communicate with your OH. Second guessing, hinting, or hoping they can read your mind is not gonna work!!!!

    I think this thread is a complete wind up. Very bizarre that a grown man would choose to portray his relationship in such a strange way on a public forum.
    The best day of your life is the one on which you decide your life is your own, no apologies or excuses. No one to lean on, rely on or blame. The gift is yours - it is an amazing journey - and you alone are responsible for the quality of it. This is the day your life really begins.

    Do you think she'll mention when she's in labour or just drop subtle hints and hope he eventually picks up on them?

    I don't know about anyone else Delain, but I don't believe this is genuine.

    That's fine, everyone has an opinion I just cant believe how rude some are being about it.
