I'm 35 weeks pregnant with DC2, suffering with SPD. We already have 17 month old Dd. I'm a SAHM, and general everyday things are getting a bit harder as I get fatter, as you would expect! But my DH seems completely oblivious to that 
I posted a couple of weeks ago having a whine about how we'd had a bust up because he doesn't do anything around the house or with DD without me asking him to do it. That has been resolved to a certain extent, but if I'm honest, I've just got sick of having to give him the simplest of instructions, so just get on with it by myself.
My reason for wanting to kick him square in the dick this morning, is his complete lack of awareness when it comes to dd's night time antics!! We appear to be in the throes of a sleep regression. Up until a few weeks ago, Dd has been a great sleeper, but all of a sudden she's up at least every 2hrs in the night, and wakes for the day between 5 and 5:30am. DH says he "doesn't hear her". We have a baby monitor by the bed, and even without the monitor, she can easily be heard through the wall Sometimes when I hear her wake up chatting to herself, I lay there for a good 5-10 mins to see if DH is going to do anything, and he never does!! I've even turned the volume all the way up on the monitor and placed it above his head, where the sound of Dd yelling and singing is unbearably loud, and he still doesn't acknowledge it!! I refuse to accept that he "doesn't hear her"...if I opened her bedroom window, half the fucking street would hear her!! 
I do all of the day time child care which is knackering enough at 35 weeks pg, but now I'm also dealing with every single night waking too - which is at least 4/5 times every night.
AIBU to be completely and utterly exasperated by this?! I don't think I am.

Soubriquet - that works maybe once or twice....but then he just ignores my nudges and pretends to be asleep
Soviet I wish!! The walls in my house are paper thin. We definitely don't need the monitor - I think I just put it on out of habit now - but I usually hear her yelling through the wall before the monitor registers the sound!! This morning when she woke for the day at 5am, I threw the monitor with force at DH and fucked off downstairs for an hours sleep on the sofa....when I say sleep, I mean laying with my eyes closed while I listen to Dd yelling/singing/chatting through the floor
When he ignores your nudges THEN you can get the baby monitor and smash it down on his dick
Bet he won't ignore you then 
Why not just get earplugs and ignore DD til it's time to get up? I do it 
But then again, if she were to actually start crying and need something, DH would get up. So maybe not so much of a helpful suggestion..
SmallBee 
that is very true!!
He left for work about 20 mins ago, and just before he left, Dd was having a tantrum because she wanted my breakfast, even though she had just eaten her own and he comes out with "she walks all over you" Well sorry SuperDad!!! When he has to deal with an over tired toddler when he's had no sleep himself, then he can have an opinion on how I deal with minor tantrums
thecat my DH doesn't even have the excuse of a bad back Just being a dickhead who clearly needs more sleep than his --live in nanny- wife who is busy cultivating another human
Soubriquet my bad.
I forgot about the professionally offended brigade who have been out in droves this week, directing their offence at genital-related-violence thread titles
