Is there a double standard in pregnancy? Nov 9th 2011, 09:10 The hormones and mood swings that go along with pregnancy are facts.  But sometimes these facts become a double standard according to this dad: "... it is a two way street. This is our 3rd pregnancy, and each time I take on nearly ALL of her responsibilities until she feels better. Do you think I FEEL like it? Do I FEEL like meeting her every need while she is sick? Of course not, but I do it. There is a double standard that we are to do all the things we need to do, and then accept that sex is a no go. I mean it does not even have to be intercourse to relieve that urge. I think women should jump in more. She can go shopping and go out during this time... she has ups and downs and uses the ups to do what she wants to do. It is a double standard for us to give give give, and none is given back. It has been weeks for me and I am about to EXPLODE." - Trey How do you feel about what Trey has to say?  Is there a double standard?  Do you ever use your pregnancy to get out of something?
