NOT MUCH SUPPORT FROM HUBBY.

[NIE]

Hi there,

Maybe I am just feeling a bit sorry for myself but I am getting fed up with my OH moaning at me or not showing any interest or concern for how I am feeling.

I have been suffering from bad nausea and tiredness since I found out I was pregnant, but I was sick for the first time yesterday evening and began to panic.

I hate been sick at the best of times but I thought I would be feeling better soon, not getting worse.

OH told me just to get on with it and didn't even come to check I was ok. I wanted to talk to him about how I was feeling but he didn't listen. Even this morning I told him that I need some support from him as I am worried, but his reply was you'll be alright.

I know I sound silly being scared to be sick but I work in a hospital where loads of sickness bugs are going around and I am just scared I will catch them or that it will harm baby in some way.

Do you think OH is right and I am worrying and panicing over nothing? xxx

Whether you're worrying or panicing over nothing isn't the point. You're pregnant and knackered and feeling like crap.

I'd suggest that you go on strike, and tell him till he starts to actually show a little sympathy for the way you're feeling you're just going to look after yourself.

If this is his first pregnancy I'd suggest getting him a book on pregnancy/fatherhood - there's a good one made by the makers of the car books - is it haynes manuals? If it isn't his first time he should know better - give him a good telling off (think of it as practice for toddlerhood)

he may not realise how exhausting early pregnancy is and how scarey it can be.

Sit him down, tell him you feel like he is fobbing you off, of course you will "be alright," but this does not change the fact that you are pregnant, worried, feel like crap and need a hug sometimes.

Sending you a big

I think sometimes men do not realise the impact a pregnancy has on a woman both physically and emotionally. Mine partner isnt brilliant, but I just go on strike tbh. It bugs me that the house is untidy etc, etc but Ive noticed I have to let it get to that before he realises .. shes not well and needs a little help.

Sometimes you just want a bit of sympathy and understanding, and I at the mo have got real bad fatigue and tiredness, so much so I slept from 5pm - 5am, but guess what ??

He coped, looked after my 2 yr old and I feel better for the rest

Take it easy
