Anyone else sick of being treated like a China Doll?

[frangipani13]

Don't eat that
Don't lift that (extremely light thing)
Don't get stressed out (erm I'm being made redundant, kind of impossible not to)
Don't get too drunk Hahaha (I haven't touched a drop since 1st Jan ffs)
Shouldn't you go to bed?

Is anyone else feeling a bit fed up of being told what they should and shouldn't be doing because of pregnancy or am I being an ungrateful hormonal cowbag?

Got vvv upset last night as DH (who is brilliant and has been amazing throughout pg so far) isn't keen on me going to see Foo Fighters when I'll be 25 weeks. It's seated and I'll be going with someone responsible, driving there etc. They're my all time favourite band and I want to do something fun for me before the little one gets here.

Is anyone else feeling the same?

This annoyed me so much in my first pregnancy, I felt completely smothered. When I got pregnant this time I thought things would be the same, I prepared myself for polite but firm responses to the fussing. However, I'm still waiting to use them. Seriously, I have a toddler and high blood pressure yet I'm still doing everything I did before except for working, work have practically banned me from the site and enforced maternity leave (I'm 38 weeks) on account of my high blood pressure scaring the crap out of them.

It's so much tougher this time too, I feel dizzy just getting out of bed! But DH has been great and I can't really complain it's just my family can't help me out as much as I need them to which is frustrating. Enjoy the fussing, I know it's annoying but it gives people a sense of purpose and a bit of involvement with your pregnancy and it's nice that people want that. Once the baby arrives make sure you take them up on all offers, don't let them be the ones snuggling your newborn whilst you run around doing all the chores though!

Seriously ladies ...
Stop whinging & enjoy it!

Not doing the hoovering?
No carrying the shopping?

No one asked me how I felt. I carried on as normal. Sick, tired etc. Decorated, painting ceilings at 37 was, ripped a bathroom put etc, moved house, ex dp didn't care what the house was like & it was a hovel!

Day after I gave birth, I ended up ironing vibe school uniforms. 3 days later back on the school runs & doing everything as normal.

I get so sad when I think back as I was exhausted & feel like I missed out.

So sit back & relax. At least someone cares about you!

Quite enjoying it really other than some pangs of guilt at how much DH is doing.

I went to see the Foo Fighters last week at 28 weeks - I had a seated ticket and it was absolutely fine. No way I was missing that! The only bugger was queuing for the loos.

My DH doesn't treat me as a China doll so much as have a go at me when i am doing something he thinks i shouldn't. I'm finding it really annoying and upsetting tbh.
