DH has encouraged me to go to Hypnobirthing classes as the mother of his first DD had an amazing birth with them.
We have gone to the classes and partaken in the various bits of homework (of which there are many) and have remained quite excited about the birth as a result- that itself is a result already IMHO
DH is becoming so bossy about it all, watching me do the exercises and giving constructive criticism about how I do them etc.
He keeps nagging me to do this breathing exercise and the correct way of getting up/lying down and it's driving me nuts!
I told him to back off a month ago and said I would find him taking on more housework related stuff more helpful and he seemed to understand.
But just in the past couple of days he has reverted back to captain Nag- this morning I woke upn(as usual) at 5:30 am feeling a bit sad about my recently late mother and instead of relating to me in an authentic way he just said now's a good time to do your breathing exercises!
I said can you reign it in a bit, you're being patronising and it's making me feel lonely and disconnected from you- he just got in a huff and rolled over.
I just wish he'd relate to me as good old me rather than treat me like a list of jobs to get through I'm starting to really resent this Hypnobirthing lark like he's been taken over by this religion and I can't get to the real us anymore.
