Is it me or by this time of being pregnant Im allowed to be a bit fed up?! I have been carrying this baby for what seems to be like forever. I have had silly things said to me over the past month some by DP. Im getting tired all the time and just want to rest. I have a 5 yr old DS who is off on Easter holidays and Im lucky as his dad (my ex husband) is having him as of next thursday as Im being induced on the friday at 9am. Im fed up with DP as he seem to moan a lot about stuff and says hes tired all the time. Im exhaused I need to sleep in the day for an hour then go to bed before 10. I really am struggling to keep it together. DP works long hours up at 6am does not get back until 5.30 pm. I understand this I was a single full time working mum for a while running my own house working sorting out my DS all the time. So Im aware of being tired. DP has only ever had to work and go home to his parents and have his tea cooked. I cook his tea he has not had to do it very often at all for his self. I just want more support I guess? You hear thses women saying my husband works 60 hours and does the tea and cleaning and tidying gives back rubs...... WTF!!! Im not asking for all of thses but one would be nice every now and then. Money is tight and Im fed up of the cobs on about that too. The money should sort its self out in a few months. I feel like shaking him and telling him to grow up im fed up of it. And then to top it all we have had a few false alarms going to the hospital and he just seems really fed up when nothing happens. I know its not nice but I feel Im then to blame for not producing a baby. This makes me feel like shit I feel like shit anyways. Any advise or anyone having similar problems?

Personally I'd go for a really long walk, scrub the kitchen down, anything to try and get that baby moving!

Oh lord no. None of that natural induction stuff works and it doesn't help with the real issue which is the way you feel you're being treated.

Is he just worried and stressed about the end of pregnancy/birth/having a newborn or have you always felt that there's an imbalance in the relationship?

Ha ha that sounds great. Have been for a walk with the hound today and scrubbed the bathroom floor yesterday...... this baby wants to stay.... he he
