I agree with Big Mama, being pregnant is hard work and a growing baby inside of you changes your emotional state substantially. I have been pregnant 4 times but only managed to carry one of them to birth. I had 3 miscarriages, all in the first 3 months. It is common to think men do not understand what it is like. They don't. How could they, they never have and never will have the experience and they are lousy mind readers. We as women need to communicate what we need and explain how they can be supportive. Approaching one's husband with requests rather than demands is usually much more productive. I found that when I got angry and made demands, I got nowhere. As hard as it is in our frame of mind, gentleness with them helps. They generally want to be supportive but often do n ot know how.
In this day, getting pregnant most of the time is a choice we make. It is also a decision that we cannot revoke. The reward of holding that little baby in your arms and nursing it with your breasts more than makes up for the struggles we endure
I wish you well and I hope you find much joy and many rewards in the end
Hugs
