DP cross with me for being sick

I've been really sick from finding out I was pg and have often spent days in bed due to this.

The last week has been really bad as I've had a uti aswell so have just tried to get as much rest as possible but DP now is trying to force me to go out and get up as I'm just being lazy etc.

I've been quite sick today and asked if he didn't mind keeping DSS downstairs so I can rest and all he has done is be cross with me. :( It's not my fault I'm so sick and I can't do anything about it. I think he's had enough of me. What can I do?

make sure he keeps it up. I am highly suspicious of people who are mean to the vulnerable.

Tell him mumsnet has their eye on him. Grin

Your DP is being a dick. And it's not normal. They don't have to be saints all the time but making you cry isn't on and leaving you without clean bedding is abusive.

I would also question being with him or around him right now. Could someone else come to stay? Can imagine a 5 hour journey would be impossible but it's important you're safe and looked after.

Ah ok just saw update. Yeah MN is watching....

Aw Op hope he steps up to the mark....I don't think a man would cope with that constant nausea like a hang over which never goes....you have my sympathy as the meds help the sickness but its the nausea that wipes you out.

Take care....

And get a little bell Wink

I'm glad he's stepped up. But seriously his card his marked. Any hint of a return to arsewipe then make up your escape plan.

Go back to the docs. There are meds you can take more than twice a day, and combinations of meds are also safe in pregnancy. Go over to the Hypermesis support thread on here for advice on what you can ask the GP for and links to the NICE guidelines etc...

Not on at all; he needs a kick up the arse. Thankfully I didn't have HE, but my sickness was bad enough. It made me realise that all I wanted in a man was someone who was willing to rub my back while I'm heaving and clean up the bathroom after I've vommed all over it. This is the minimum you deserve!
Has he never had food poisoning or a vomiting bug?

lumpyparcel - Don't mean to be disrespectful but your DP is being completely and utterly unreasonable. I was ill from pretty much conception to week 10, when thankfully nausea calmed down. I managed to get all kinds of nasties - food, drink, hankies - all manner of nasties on the bed, my bedroom floor. My husband never shouted at me! I took considerable time off work, drank lots of fluids and bland food (only thing I could eat!) provided by DH.

It takes two people to get pregnant. He should be supporting you. What he is saying is not helpful and extremely selfish. Do you have anyone in RL you can talk to about this? You definitely need someone close you can confide in.

If I was in your position, I would have told my DP off, phoned my mum and MIL and got them to kick him arse too.

It's not you. It's him. Hope you feel better soon x
