DH comment about my pregnancy weight

Have name changed as I may want to use thread as a starter for conversation later.

I have tokophobia and have been having masses of support from midwife, counsellor and consultant to see if I can get to a mentally strong enough place to attempt a natural delivery of my first baby who is due in 7 weeks.

My DH is fully aware of this.

I have been finding things increasingly stressful and feel anxious a lot of the time as things get closer and I'm doubting my ability to birth my child.

DH fully aware of this.

I have put on a bit of weight in addition to bump, not an outrageous amount but I'll probably have a stone or so to lose I guess. I really haven't worried about that as figured I already had enough stress.

Earlier I was attempting to get in the bath and said 'oh my god I'm so massive' DH replied 'yeah, what are you going to do about that?'

I said 'pardon?' and he simply repeated those exact words.

I told him to f off Blush and he rolled his eyes and sighed at me.

I realise I might be oversensitive at the moment but AIBU to be very pissed off by such a comment?

OP I just wanted to say I think you are amazing and you should be so so proud of yourself. I have tokophobia as well and unfortunately I dont have as much courage as you!

And yanbu, what a horrible comment for your DH to make. I hope he has been supporting you lots the rest of the time, I've put my husband through such grief whilst pregnant but luckily he is so good about everything.

Also wanted to wish you good luck and I really hope everything goes well with your baby and you get everything that you want and need xxx
