To be sick of being told to get on with it? (Pregnancy)

I've had a shit pregnancy and it seems that everything I struggled with in the first trimester has come back to haunt me and to add to it I have SPD.

I vomit so much I feel like I could pass out! I refuse to walk anywhere far now because my SPD is so bad OH & BIL seem to think I should just get on with it soooo many other women just get on with it.

BIL seems to think if he was a woman he would have loads of kids and just suck it up.

AIBU to think they are knobs and I don't just need to suck it up. I've had enough of hearing it! I go to bed feeling dreadful and wake up feeling worse. If I want to moan and mope around leave me to it!

YADNBU. The world expects women to be so overjoyed with pregnancy that they’ll simply put up with all the shit that comes with it. Almost like complaining about being horrifically I’ll is a sign of ingratitude for your baby.

As an aside-

  • WTF has it got to do with your BIL?!
  • a bit worried that your husband sees you as little more than a vessel, and is getting annoyed that the vessel is complaining of being ill

Hope you get some good support OP Flowers

Tell BiL to F off.
His comments just show what egoistic child he is.
As for OH, can I recommend that you re-evaluate your relationship. If he's like this now, what will he be like dealing with a crying baby at 3 am after a week of broken sleep?
You've nothing to lose by telling him you find his comments rude and unpleasant. Don't put up with that nastiness and lack of empathy.

What the fuck has YOUR pregnancy got to do with your BIL?

Are you the poster with the partner who has brother who has just moved nearby / your DP spends a lot of time with him / there are regular dinners with BIL / BIL is a third wheel?
