I'm current 8.5 months into a hard pregnancy. Over the last 6 weeks I've had a UTI, thrush, extreme nerve pain (strong pain killers), bad anaemia, high blood pressure and been randomly throwing up. It's my second, I'm also looking after a very active 3 year old and until last week was working 3 days. Throughout, I've had zero sympathy from DH. I really don't milk it, quite the opposite, as DH generally thinks people aren't strong enough and weak in general. I'm not asking for back or foot massages, just the occasional hug or telling me I'm doing well or a kiss occasionally.
Since just before Xmas I've had quite severe hip, bum and thigh pains (I have to hold onto walls and furniture to walk quite often and often in tears due to pain). Someone suggested yesterday that it might be pelvic girdle pain so I did some googling. When DH came home I told him about it and how I probably should have mentioned something to the midwife as nhs website said I should really get help. His only response... That I seem to have a much lower pain threshold this pregnancy, suggesting I'm being a hypochondriac. I asked what he was referring to and all he could cite was when I dropped something on my toe and cried (this was about about 6 months ago and it was a mixture of shock and emotional build up - knackered/morning sickness). AIBU to want to punch him in the face?!?! I was so angry but all my emotions come out as tears which he finds attention seeking so I just went up early to bed and cried myself to sleep. So tired of this...
