Partner doesn't understand how exhausted I am

[muvaa]

So I'm 33 weeks pregnant and for the past couple of days I've been feeling really tired even without doing much and I was too exhausted to go to the shops yesterday and my partner forgot to get what I wanted and only got spring rolls and crisps that isn't even going to fill me up. So woke up this morning feeling tired again and he goes on a complaint rant saying I'm not doing anything around the house and when he gets home from work the house is how he left it. Even though I've been telling him that I'm not feeling well. And he said 'you don't even do much what are you doing to be tired' then went on to talk about how his mum never took a day off because she 'wasn't feeling well'. I'm just really upset that he doesn't understand how I'm feeling or what I'm going through to carry his baby

'Growing a f*ckin human' should have been your reply! I honestly don't think men understand what we go through on the journey to motherhood. I know its not an illness, but some days I literally can't get out of bed, and if anyone thinks I can just do a bit of hoovering or dusting their very much mistaken. Hopefully he lightens up on you!

As an aside you are probably anaemic - it's a whole new level of tiredness!! Spatone or Floradix are your solution to feeling much better quickly.

Your DP is being an arse!

I think it may be worth asking for your bloods checking to make sure you've not become anemic. The last trimester is exhausting, your quality of sleep tends to be rubbish too which doesn't help.
You're partner is being a dumbass! Men will never understand how hard it is to grow a person. Mine has commented on how he's never seen me so tired, I've been worse with this one than I was with our twins (must be getting old lol). He wouldn't moan about the house though because he'd get a slap and told to go F himself if he did.

What a fucking arsewipe.

Tell him to piss off back to his mother’s then.

I’d be asking him why he’s not living with his perfect mummy, then!

Honestly what a twat. And it will only get worse when baby’s arrived.

I hope you feel better soon.

No advice but I hear you! I’m 32 weeks and totally exhausted, insomnia and sickness, looking after a 3 year old, plus been getting up at 4am for weeks to finish my thesis (but because I’m not getting paid for it, it’s not really ‘work’ in my partners eyes). I said I might take a day off while my son is at preschool, and got no reply, but I could sense the judgment of thinking how he can’t take a day off! So then stupid me said I’ll spring clean the kitchen instead..... ughhhh I guess some men don’t understand.. my friends husband on the other hand decorated the bedroom in candles and fairy lights when she brought the baby home and seems to wait on her hand and foot. Hope you feel better soon x
