Second Pregnancy - Unsupportive Partner

[Belle191218]

I'm currently 8 weeks into my second pregnancy, I've had terrible nausea for the past month along with heartburn, exhaustion and in general I feel like crap constantly. My first pregnacy was a cake walk compared. The only issue is I feel like my partner doesn't get it, I'm sick to death about feeling like crap, I can't do anything around the house so I am relying on him for everything and I just feel like he is tired of it all, like he shouldn't have to deal with all of this. He hasn't actually said as much but it's the way he is, he snaps at little things, is constantly finding something to complain about. Am I wrong to feel like he should be more supportive or am I being selfish??

Similarly around 8 weeks and feeling like death some days, so drained. My partner has been extra supportive and kindly took our toddler for a walk this morning so I could have a rest & get some tidying done (not because he expected me to do tidying but because I wanted to). You’re not being selfish at all, your partner is being a dick, you’re growing a baby and he needs to look after you.

Just explain to him how tired you are, maybe he hasn’t grasped that fact. Let’s hope to feel a bit better soon! I hate slugging around.

Thanks Hun, He was an angel with my first but this times so much worst, neither of us expected it. I'll keep plodding on and have words with him. I hope you feel better soon too hun xx

@Belle191218 yeah I had an easy first pregnancy so bit of a shock here too. I guess having another small human already makes you tired enough and add in all the hormones... try and get rest when you can/don’t worry about getting too much done. Hope your chat goes well xx
