I am 10 weeks pregnant and really suffering from morning sickness. Not hyperemesis level, but still pretty bad. I find getting out of bed in the morning without vomiting almost completely impossible. Doesn't help that DC are crying and needing things from very early.
H wakes up, gets up, goes downstairs and makes himself breakfast and then gets on with his day. He hears me vomiting upstairs, he hears the DC yelling and crying and fighting for me and he does nothing.
I end up shouting down the stairs every morning that I am ill and I need help. And he says "oh yeah" and reluctantly comes up and deals with the DC and then goes into a funk with me that he's had to "do everything." Every morning. He doesn't DO everything, of course, he just has to be pulled out of his own stuff, to come and help with what he should see as OUR stuff.
AIBU to expect that when we wake up he asks me how I'm feeling? If I need anything before he disappears?
Is it so ingrained into the minds of some men that morning sickness is women's business or a woman's thing that they can harden themselves to it and pretend it isn't happening?
I feel like an idiot pointing it out all the time. Every time I say it, every time I repeat it - "I am throwing up and the kids are crying - please help me" it loses its power. Because I say it EVERY morning.
