Is your DH supportive and helpful during pregnancy?

Because mine has said he doesn't have time to help with food shopping, cleaning, home improvements etc because he's too busy earning money for when the baby's born.

He does work long hours and I know he's stressed but I'm wondering where the guy who cooked for me when I had morning sickness has gone?

I'm now 32 weeks, still working myself and feeling pretty awful physically, but feel like I have no support from anywhere. I'll be eating toast for dinner yet again tonight as I don't have the energy to shop or cook, and dh is out working.

I'm trying to come up with my own solutions - I now do one internet food shop each week - but that doesn't last all week and I can't afford the delivery twice a week.

What do others do to cope? I can't afford a cleaner and I don't have any friends or family locally who can help out, only the parents-in-law, but not sure I can admit I'm not coping to them. Help!

The infuriating thing for me is when DH does ANYTHING around the house he wants praising for it all the time! When I do things I just get on with it and I think I would faint on the spot if I got any praise or acknowledgment of it!

Erm I think you can freeze it....don't see why not can lasagne and that is pasta and sauce... so I presume so!

I'm sorry you are having a rough time. H needs to remeber that you need rest. Tell him that you know he is working hard but you are about t give birth.

mum2bejan - that is a pet hate of mine. he even had a go at me today for not praising him about something.
