Connection with hubby

Hello all! This is my second pregnancy and I was curious if any of you mamas out there have experienced something similar. Maybe it's my hormones raging but I just feel like the connection I usually have with my husband suffers when I'm pregnant. It happened during my first pregnancy as well but I kind of attributed it to the fact that he was deployed for most of that one. However, he's been home for this entire pregnancy and it happened again. Part of it I think stems from the fact that I just feel like he obviously doesn't know what it feels like to be pregnant and therefore doesn't exhibit the empathy I guess I'm looking for. Not that I'm asking for a full on massage every night or to be waited on hand and foot. But I feel like I constantly have to remind him that I'm 37 weeks pregnant. I constantly have to ask him for the help that I feel he should just know I need. For instance, I practically had to beg him to come to the grocery store with me to help with our son while I shopped. Another time we had friends over and it was late. We were playing a board game and I was laying down on the couch. When it was my turn to roll I asked him to roll for me and his response was "come on babe, just get into it". Like really? I've tried to talk to him about it but he gets defensive and nothing gets resolved. The other night he just fell asleep on me when we started talking about it so idk what to do. I only have a couple more weeks left so idk if I try again or just let it go...thoughts?
