Hi I'm new here :) Just need to talk to someone. I'm 31 weeks pregnant with my second (and last!) child, and having a really tough time. Physically I'm really struggling to do everything with pelvic pain and weak, tired legs, and sleeping badly. I had the same last time, and also awful sickness up to 20 weeks. So it's been rough, and I know also tough on my partner because of the extra support I've needed, and me being just generally miserable!
I had my dd at 36 weeks so I feel we may not have long til this one comes, but I have so much to do to get ready (house needs work and got no baby stuff ready at all!) I need the help of my partner so much because I just can't do it alone, but he seems to be having a complete meltdown. He can't cope with anything, the slightest thing stresses him out and he's so grumpy I can't say anything right no matter how diplomatic/not pushy I try to be. We've talked and I'm going to see a dr with him tomorrow morning as I think he's depressed, looking back it's been going on for a long time. xxx

All you need sorting before baby arrives is somewhere for him / her to sleep, and a pram / sling so you can get out of the house, everything else can wait!

Is it just the stress of baby being nearly here that is causing your partner to behave like this? Or has it been ongoing since before your pregnancy? If ongoing, he needs to speak to his dr, there's lots of options available to him. If its just during the pregnancy, I'd personally sit down and have a big chat about it. My DH was very stressed throughout my pregnancy worrying about providing for us during maternity leave, if he would be a good dad etc. he didn't want to tell me about any of it, but once he did he started feeling much better!
