How can I help my husband understand what I am going through early in my 1st trimester?

Question

I am newly pregnant (5 weeks) and I don't really think my husband understands everything I am going through, tired, etc.

I know there are books out there. Does anyone know of some good web-sites?

That one is the one I liked alot when i was pregnant.  I shows what's happening with baby every week and also with mom.  It even has a section for dad every week and what he can do to help mom!

Also, the book What To Expect When You're Expecting has an awesome quote in the beginning.

"It would be surprising if you weren't tired. IN SOME WAYS, YOUR BODY IS WORKING HARDER EVEN WHEN YOU'RE RESTING THAN A NONPREGNANT BODY IS WHEN MOUNTAINCLIMBING; you just can't see it's efforts."

It's awful, but no one who hasn't had a rough pregnancy could ever understand just how hard it is. I NEVER imagined pregnancy was as hard as it is until I got pregnant with my twins. Now I'm pregnant with only one, and it's almost as bad. Men can never fully understand how much we "suffer," but then again, they can never understand how awesome it feels to feel that kick or flutter in your belly! Good luck.
