please help...

Im due in december for my first baby and I feel like I can't be excited because every one is taking it away from me. We are having a boy and my husband feels like he is the dad so he is going to teach our son everything.  I feel like im going to be just the carrier. Also there is already a drama about how time is going to be spent.  My husbands family could care less about us before and now all of a sudden its a big deal when my family has always been there for us. I dont know what to do or who to talk to....please help

Don't borrow trouble, you won't be left out.  Your husband will doubtless find that getting up for the night feedings and other duties of fatherhood pale in comparison to the golden role he imagines he will have, and your child will be mostly left with you.  Family also.  There is not enough child care in the world to prevent the mom from largely being responsible for everything, unless of course you are Mrs. Tom Cruise.
