Feeling Low

[2Weeks2Go]

This is a woe is me post!

I'm 37+2, STM.

I haven't slept in months, have SPD, measuring 2 weeks ahead and bump is HUGE! Constant heartburn, swollen feet and ankles, breathless, uncomfortable, tired...

Can't stand the sight of DH. He's doing 99% of the housework - cooking, cleaning, laundry, bins, etc. bedtime routine with toddler every night, gets up with DS when he wakes... he couldn't do more in a practical sense (for which I am genuinely grateful) but when it comes to emotional support, it's lacking! I appreciate he's tired (also works full-time) and I'm probably expecting too much from him given how hands on he is, however, I can't help feeling annoyed at him. It could be my hormones as I've been very angry and emotional recently! I've outgrown all of my maternity clothes and everything (including getting showered) feels like a massive effort. I can barely dry myself and get dressed without getting out of breath and being in pain.

Got a c-section booked for 2 weeks time so there is light at the end of the tunnel.

Anyone else feeling sorry for themselves?

Hun be grateful he is doing amazing job, while mine doesnt help AT ALL not with housework not with kid not emotional support either. Try to chill and dont get mad at him x

@Somerandomgirl you are right, I know it 😫 sorry to hear you don't get any support, that must be REALLY tough!!

Honestly your partner sounds amazing! I'm pregnant and do pretty much all the house work and most of the wake ups with my boy. I know last few weeks are hard but don't be angry at your partner sounds like he is really trying to help.

@Diamondbabe I do need to try and focus more on what he IS doing and not fixate so much on what he's NOT. I just feel like crap.

The end is in sight mama! Put your feet up and let your partner do all the running around. You'll have your baby in your arms in no time 🥰 big hugs x

Thank you @BrodieKD 😊 I will do x

And complains while not helping at all too that I'm not doing enough! So yea try to chill or tell him its hormones driving u mad lol xx

I totally get what you mean about the emotional side! I'm exactly the same. Dh has to do everything as my SPD is so bad. Anyone without crippling SPD - not just niggling pelvis probs - DOES NOT UNDERSTAND. But i do keep reminding him I'm heavily pregnant and emotional so need his emotional support too as I'm so needy, which normally i am not 😁
I burst into tears easily due to the hormones and lack of sleep due to the SPD pain, and being in constant pain all day and boredom from being stuck indoors.
DH doing all housework is what he should be doing regardless if you physically can not move. If he was immobile i would be doing it all and working full time.
At least you have a guaranteed end date haha I'm sat here due anytime from now until 2 weeks away 😣😣😁
