Am I over-reacting?

[grommit]

I am pg and feeling awful - dh has a weekend away planned and still plans on going. It is a fun/hobby weekend leaving me alone with ds and feeling like I want to throw up every 5 minutes. I did tell him I would prefer him not to go but he is very keen. Maybe just my pg hormones but I feel he is being selfish - we have to give up a lot to be pg, raise kids but men seem to be able to continue as normal. Rant over. Thanks for listening

grommit, sympathies, I know how you feel (about the sickness anyway, not your dh), it's such a constant horrible feeling isn't it. At the moment, any job with a smell involved makes me feel worse, and there's a lot of them when you think about it (food, nappies, cleaning etc), so I can imagine the thoughts of coping all weekend on your own is terrible.
I suppose it depends on how long your dh had planned this and how much it means to him. Do you have anyone who knows you're pregnant that could give you a hand? Think how your dh might resent you if you make him cancel. It might be better to let him go, but to keep in mind he owes you a favour in return.
Then again if you are really feeling like you can't cope, then you are the one who needs a break.
Sorry, that doesn't help much does it, I hope you'll feel better soon, not too long to go to 12 weeks!

If it's a case of him missing out on his social life then I don't think you are over reacting. I think he should stay especially since you feel so awfull.

Morning sickness is vile. I took 2 months off work and my Mum came and stayed with us for most of that time bringing me small snacks at regular intervals (she'd had it too so was v sympathetic). Any mates or parents who could come and help out, or at least take ds out for the day? Your dh is being selfish but then who isn't sometimes. Sobbing bitterly can be effective. Not sure how to do a smiley but insert one here *.

Thaknd Guys - Eefs - deep down I know you are right - I will let him go and then maybe take a weekend off myself and let him do everything!
