Just a vent

I just want to break down and cry. I hate that men dont understand what its like to be pregnant. Im tired ALL the time I feel like I cant even function yet he still expects me to cook, clean, do his laundry..etc. Ughhh I dont regret my gift from god but I really should've been more careful, because now I see the real him!!!!!

Wow... I have a very understanding husband! Not all men are like that! He does what I don't have the energy to do.
No one has a right to say you are lazy. Tell them to step up if they want those things done. Then they start to realize all you do. You know they are finally doing enough when you feel slight twinge of guilt for not doing enough.

I had my doctor print out literature just for my husband, and talk to him directly about what to expect when he started getting "tired if this pregnancy thing" and I'm only 13weeks. It really helped having a DOCTOR and not his "nagging wife" tell him. He's much more helpful now!

Mine isn't very understanding either. Better than in the the very beginning (I'm almost 17 weeks) but still does not seem very interested. He never brings the baby up. He doesn't treat me any more special than he did before. Right now he's a little sniffly and he's like a big baby about it meanwhile he doesn't get why I'm always tired or hungry or emotional. And he doesn't seem to feel bad that I can't do alot of things and he can,  for example we just went to Disney and I walked around in gift shops and sat in benches all day alone because I couldn't go on any rides and he didn't want to spend hardly any time in Epcot where there were things I was interested in. Everything is still about him and what he wants just like it was before. Sigh. Men.

I know he's stressed but I dont bother him because of that so I dont understand why he takes all his frustations out on me, im tired of him yelling at me for little things

Try taking him to one of your appointments and have the doctor explain to him how tired and exhausted you are. And that you can not be expected to do everything, especially when the baby is actually here!

My boyfriend is that way too but wouldnt dare call me lazy!! I'm almost 19 weeks and I'm alwaysssss tired. And were gonna be moving and getting baby room. But he will eventually realize I also put in consideration that he is stressed out about having another baby at 24 and not having our own house so maybe your man is stressed out as well.

Oh honey I was in that boat lastnight he came home to find me laying across the bed and called me lazy. It hurt so bad because I am so uncomfortable in my own skin. I will keep you in my prayers.
