So, I am 23 weeks pregnant. So far it has been really difficult, with a fair amount of pain, and unexplained bleeding. I've spent months having to rest every afternoon, and weeks on bed rest. Normally we live really remote, but because of all the problems we have been advised to temporarily move closer to medical facilities etc. So we (me, my DD & DH) are currently living with my in laws. This was only meant to be for a month, then we are renting somewhere until the baby comes.
I'm actually feeling a little better right now, which is great! And I'm up moving about a lot more. Apart from one thing. The mattress at the in laws house is awful. I wake up repeatedly through the night in a lot of pain, and need paracetamol just to sleep. I'm so sleep deprived right now 😭.
Me and my husband spoke to my MIL about it. We said, as we were staying for a little while and I was struggling, could we buy a new mattress. We said we would fetch it, put it in place etc. And they could either keep it or not after. She went crazy. Saying that we though she wasn't good enough, and that everyone else never complained, and just basically how horrible/selfish/rude we were, and all the things she had done for us. It was pretty upsetting. Then next day she acted all friendly, as if nothing had happened. Now, four days later, we are going to a hotel in another town. And she is acting confused about it, but saying how she understands we need to see our friends etc. But we are only going, because I am just so tired. Were we in the wrong?! Was that really rude? I think DH is sad about it, but he can see how much I'm struggling. Ive just started to doubt myself 🙁
