Hi all i am 38 weeks pregnant and with no signs of labour coming just yet lol i have been confined to my house all week and my partner has been working! My friend and I planned to have lunch before she goes away so i said today is best day but my partner is really grouchy and moody saying that i am selfish that i am putting her first instead of myself and body and why would i risk driving i said im not driving im getting the bus cos i cant fit in the car anymore and he said well everyone will laugh at you becos a heavily pregnant woman shouldn't be going out!!! Please tell me is he for real?? I cannot believe i am being made to feel guilty for going out to have lunch and that i am putting my baby in jeopardy which is not true!! PS he never said anything like this to me before until now . I know he is worried. Should i stay at home then? Feeling so frustrated :( he cant drop me cos he is working

Your partner is being a completely controlling asshole.

I got the bus to the hospital when I was in labour! Admittedly it was just for a check up as my plug had come away and I was leaking. I thought they'd send me home again (as per first baby back and forth) but they kept me in. All I'd taken was my iPod, reading book and a packet of jammy dodgers...

I was once told by a nurse: lazy pregnancy =lazy labour, im sure she was right!

Silly sod. Maybe he thinks you should have taken to your bed for the whole of your confinement?

Is he normally a spoilsport - I'm not having fun so you cant?
