How did you split prenatal expenses with your husband?

My husband earns about double of my salary so our joint account is also contributed 1:2. Wondering for prenatal expenses like prenatal exercises or even prenatal massage, do you share these expenses with your husband or husband pays all or you settle by yourself? Cos this seems different from the prenatal checkups as it is for the mummy alone so wondering :) #firsttimemom

I nvr go for prenatal exercises etc and have yet to get a prenatal massage. But if I do get a massage I'll pay myself as it'll likely be a one off thing just like before pregnancy. And similarly to other adhoc expenses like my maternity clothes etc buy if I go shopping with him, he'll offer to pay. But for post pregnancy massages and confinement expense we'll pay frm our joint acct. We don't really have a black and white line as to who pay what as both are working tho and just like u my hubby is earning more than twice as me so whatever I can foot myself, I will. Most of the time my hubby will auto foot the bill, except of cz hospitalisation bill tt I wld like to pay half as tt's the biggest expense since we're gg to take a pte hosp 1 bedder.
