You only need to do what religiously is required. Plus your main job as you said is to take care of the children and I do think that the one in your tummy counts and you should remind him of that.

Hi there.  Gosh, no.  I don't think this is fair and don't think your husband is being considerate of you.  I would follow through on setting a boundary that he WILL help.  Don't make the lunch when he asks you to each time.  and if you say I'm not feeling well or I need to rest, then stick to it.  

I would also have an open conversation now about his role in the house.  Set up some things that he will do each day.  Perhaps you make dinner and he does the dishes.  Things like that.  Talk about it and let him know that you have boundaries and don't want to resent him and him to resent you so you should find compromises TOGETHER.  

best of luck to you dear

I agree with u @zahra147 especially the last sentence. I recently gave birth to my stillborn baby girl at 38 weeks. At first my husband was really helpful, as time is passing its like he is getting distant from me. I really want him to b with at this hard time to support me. But unfortunately he isnt. Im lookinafter my 2 kids n doing all the housewrk myself. I feel he doesnt care about me ne more.

My dad is the same way towards my mom, he has that mentality that women are supposed to do all the housework and cook all the time. But thats the generation he grew up in. So my mom said screw it and just stopped cooking, cleaning and even getting out of bed sometimes. She became very depressed and my dad just didn't understand what was wrong still. Eventually things evened out between them. But i realized I'd never let a guy get to me like that or expect me to do anything if I didnt  want too. My bf is sweet, caring, and we do alot of things 50/50. Including paying for stuff, sometimes ill pay full. That really ***** hes doing that, id just tell him to calm his ****. When my bf does start to complain I make him feel like crap i.e. I'll bring up the past or if it comes to it make him feel less of a man, it makes me feel bad but theres really no other way to get him to agree with me sometimes. Haven't had to do that in a long time. Last night i caught him playing video games at 3am, i told him to tutn it off and come to bed. He did it immediately. Lol

I'm not Muslim. I know your life style is very different from mines. I can't give you much as advice but he needs to stop. Stress can cause a miscarriage also. Talk to him about that, if he love you and his children it will stop.you need to rise and be the queen of the house.

Wow that's not very nice. Marriage is for better or worse. Put your foot down! He need to help around the house until the new baby is sleeping through the night. Every one is different but my husband wake up early makes the children (4)and I breakfast, help them get ready for school prepare or prep supper then go to work. He also helps with the house work on the weekend.He did everything on his own until I was 16weeks. I was to sick and fatigue to get out of bed. You did not create your baby alone, it takes two.Tell him GET IT TOGETHER

Don't leave him thats not the right thing to do, thats why no marriage makes it anymore cuz someone always tells someone to just leave..just talk to him, have a counselor help you if you need to and if you want to rest then rest and he will have to deal with it
