Wanting a bit more help during pregnancy?

[Hereiamatthistage]

Or not?

I’m 5 months pregnant and a bit achey. Also have two year old.

DH away Monday and Tuesday. I do most child related things although do work 3 days a week. Is it unreasonable to want a bit more help at this stage, things like bathing toddler, getting them out of cot in morning, that sort of thing?

You're struggling. Your body is changing and doing proportionately more. So yes it's fine.

If he had some kind of health condition or was struggling physically would you step up and do more of his share or say 'sorry, just going to watch you struggle on, as I'm only prepared to do my proportional share'?
