I wish I could get more support during my pregnancy.but I feel selfish

[LucyHarris]

It's my second pregnancy, i am 8 months pregnant but I feel alone and my partner works all the time and has no time for me. I have a little boy that I have to take care of myself too, all the housework and I cook for them too. I feel selfish when I argue with him though for more support but I do feel alone all the same. I can't ask neighbours or parents for help either for personal reasons. Anyone know what I should do?

You're 8 months pregnant, so firstly let go on of the feeling of selfishness, what you're going though (especially with a toddler) is hard work!

Ok so your DH works in paid employment? Well, he has a family and he ought to be taking care of you. This is a vulnerable time physically and emotionally for you and that should not be overlooked.

He really needs to step up rather than argue when you tell him you need more from him. Is there any way that you think he'd be open to this?
