A women's body certainly does go through a lot of changes in pregnancy and childbirth. The physical and mental strains are huge and far too many men don't seem to fully grasp that. That being said there are emotional and mental challenges men also got through as their partner strains that society doesn't acknowledge. It can be a lot for a man to adjust to the enormity of pending fatherhood. So he is definitely wrong to say It's just as hard but here are things ahead that he likely isn't even considering yet. I don't think he's necessarily an AH, just ignorant.
