Hi all!
I’m ten weeks pregnant and have been, tired, sore and sick- the usual - but I am struggling a little.
DH is normally very supportive but I am feeling a bit of a disconnect. I know I am very fortunate, and I don’t want to sound like a raging hormonal person but it’s silly things, like when I asked him to pick up some heavy shopping he huffed and asked why. He asked me what was wrong the other day and I said I think I needed something to eat because I was feeling really nauseous he then just rolled over. He then kept asking me what was wrong after I had told him which was really frustrating. I was having a particularly bad day and forgot to take my vitamins- he reminded me but when I said I felt really unwell and asked if he’d get them he said he was too sleepy. One night we had very little food in and he’s suggested I go in the car and get something if I am hungry - I was in my PJs, face covered in acne, it was dark and wet, he was in clothes, it would have been much easier for him to go. He’s also been a bit more demanding - he’s been saying he’s too tired to make his own dinner, and asked me to do it. It’s odd though- because whenever I’ve been unwell, or stressed before I was pregnant he’s normally incredibly supportive and a wonderful guy. I’m not sure.
I give him updates on what the progress is, but I feel he’s uninterested. I thought he would maybe want to hold my tummy, I know I’m not showing or anything so maybe I’m being silly. I suggested he downloaded an app but he hasn’t bothered.
He’s been doing a lot of DIY around the house, which I appreciate but some of it has been totally unnecessary. Anytime I suggest starting on looking at our bedroom which would make more sense he gets annoyed like I don’t see what he’s already done.
I’ve tried to speak to him but he says I’m being a drama queen and overreacting and I’m only pregnant. I feel like I can’t speak to him now without him getting overly sensitive. I know I’m being sensitive too but I am feeling so lost right now. Are my expectations too high?
