How do you deal with husband working night shift?

I am pregnant and my husband just startied working night shift. I'm barely trying to handle not having him by my side now let alone how do I cope when the baby comes. Plus, he's tired all day up until it's time to go back to work. I get bored and lonely.How do you deal with husband working night shift?
Brenda be grateful that you have a man prepared to go work even night shift. Be glad he has work and count your blessings. He isnt doing this to spite you but merely to beable to provide for you and your child. Thank him instead of feeling bored and lonely. Instead go all out to make him happy, cook him special meals, make him a lunch box to take to work. Busy yourself preparing the babies room. Take up some or other art or craft and enjoy it. IF you are asking us whether its an ideal opportunity to find a lover the answer is NO. People who get bored have no vision. Think of ways you can inexpensively make your house look prettier inside and find something to do. You are going to be more llonely when baby comes, because baby is going to take up a lot of your time. Rest and enjoy your pregnancy and look on the internet for things you can do. Everyone has the ability to be creative. Use your talents. There is no need to be bored.How do you deal with husband working night shift?
Deal with it honey.....when the baby arrives you will have more to concern you,


Best of luck to you all.
when we marry we have to make sacrifices. things will change after the baby is born. just because your husband isnt there doesnt mean hes not there for you. im sure he doesnt like the situation any more than you do.
oh well life suck's some time
discuss this with your husband...tell him in detail how u feel. ask elders may be your parents or inlaw to tell him that what a pregnant women wants from her husband...nothing but special attention and lots of love..if not ask him to read my answer atleast...


And u try not to worry on silly things. enjoy this golden moment dear...it won't come again and again.


i too am a mother of 1.6yr old son. i can undersatnd your feelings. Relax your mind...
So stay up ay nioght and slleep when he does in the day. Let's face it you can even shop at night these days and a young baby does not know the difference between night and day anyway.
when the baby comes it will be a 24 hours shift for you and in that case boredom will be out of the question.my husband works in a shifting sked and usually on my due date his sked always fall on nightshift .


my strategy:


i let him rest right away after eating his meal in the morning so he can sleep till 3pm.when he is well rested we can talk better and share some loads at home.and he make sure his day off means my day off also,we go to mall and eat out with the kid in tow.dont nag him coz this makes him more tired and so are you.goodluck!
you will just have to deal with this and get something to occupy your time he has to make a living just make sure he has a cell phone
