Men just don't get it. I am so glad to be doing it alone this time round, it's so much easier than dealing with my ex. He was totally unsupportive and he's going to get the shock of his life if his fat whore ever has a child. I loved being pregnant last time, no hormones, no moods, no sickness, I was so happy and chilled and just enjoyed every minute. I was just trying to do the best for the baby so was very good with my diet and toxins and he was constantly pressuring me to drink and eat crap so he could. He would even add alcohol to my food to try and get me to have some!! And was all shocked and upset when I had a go at him!
Wanker! He never thought of having to consider a pregnant woman in his plans and would constantly arrange activities and events without taking "pregnant wife" into account. When the spd struck he was useless. I was still happy but in screaming agony and not once did he take care of me, I'd be screaming through the nights trying to crawl to the loo because I couldn't get up and not once did he get up and help me. I spent the last month in and out of hospital constantly and again he wouldn't visit or bring me anything when I needed it, I'd just have to wait till it fitted in with his schedule.
The night before the c-section I was over excited and wanted everything to be perfect and was sorting baby clothes and ironing the baby grows, which actually he should have done given how bad my pelvis was and how I shouldn't have been standing but he didn't do any preparation for the baby and I stead of understanding and joining me in the excitement he had a massive go at me and again the morning she was born for making HIM tired by not being in bed by 9!
When we went for the sexing scan as we were walking in we were talking about whether it was a boy or girl and he said "I don't want a boy, it had better be a girl"
as we're walking in to the scan!!! What if she had been a boy??? What would the rest of that pregnancy and the child's life have been like?? What an utter prick! And to top it off the day she was born he fucked off to the pub, the next day he only ran in to visit us 10 minutes before the end of visiting time because my mum made him bring me some food and the day we were leaving again only came in 10 minutes before I was to leave, he barely managed to visit at all and despite his work giving him 2 weeks paternity leave he took one week which he spent out with his mates, doing DIY and off doing his own thing, and sleeping through the nights not helping because he was tired, no consideration for me at all. For the next 2 years till I left him he did not do one single night shift, complained if I ever asked him to go to her if I was busy, I had to book nights out in advance with him, if it was convenient for him and he started travelling on optional business trips within weeks of her being born. Luckily I didn't have any PND and was totally happy on my own but he doesn't realise how lucky he was and that so many women struggle so much more than I did with crippling morning sickness and exhaustion and hormones etc and after the birth expecting the man to pull his weight. I can't wait till his demanding self absorbed whore has a baby, she will crucify him. This time round I've struggled more with emotions and feeling crap and now the spd has started so much earlier, but still glad to be doing this without a man around giving me more headaches and making me feel even worse. I think some things are better done the old fashioned way with men not involved! I'm actually really looking forward to a birth without some man making it harder and sucking the joy out of it. He refused to tell me what was happening, he kept DD for 45 minutes before letting me have a first cuddle, didn't once tell me he was proud of me or I'd done well or anything, no little present or card or keepsake and sure as hell no eternity ring, and he fucked off to the pub straight after! He was so utterly self absorbed and inconsiderate with everything and I wasn't even demanding or hard work, in fact I was way easier than my normal self!!
Never having a man around for any babies ever again. Not worth it at all.
The SPD has gone through the roof and my dad has been with me the last few days and noticed how bad it is now and said he's sending mum to move in with me. Erm..... nooooooo! Not yet!! When I am totally immobile then OK I won't have a lot of choice but I can still get around for now! We'll kill each other if we're together too much!
It's progressed insanely quickly. 3 weeks ago I was absolutely fine and now I am waddling and limping, I am struggling with stairs and turning over in bed, getting in & out of bed, putting socks and trousers on, it's not good this early on! And last time it was only at the front in my symphysis pubis but this time it's in my sacroiliac too. And over compensating has already started making my knees and hips hurt now too. Definitely going to the GP Tuesday morning and demanding they do something.
