Miserable

I am a Mother of two older children , my daughter 23 & son 19… I’ve been with my husband for 18 years, out of the 18 we tried 13 years (since 2011) to get pregnant. We only got pregnant one time before in 2017 and a miscarriage at 11 weeks. This PREGNANCY was a HUGE surprise 🤍 but a Blessing. I feel bad because I complain probably more than I should, but I have not been able to enjoy this pregnancy at “ALL” & I love being pregnant & I’ve waited forever to get here. I thought being this is My Husband’s first he would take something’s off of me including being “STRESSED” but between him and my son. I’m ready to lose it. I tell myself all the time I’m ready to go to the hospital just to get away. & really NOT ACCEPT ANY VISITORS while I’m there. Ik you don’t rest much in the hospital, but I need a Mental break. I went out to eat, movies & got ice cream 🍦 Sunday all by myself & it felt sooooooo good to be alone. I’m afraid with all the stress I’m under I could go in pre- term labor or cause her harm & I would lose it if something happened to her as long as I’ve waited for this miracle. Oh on top of all this I’ve been taken out of work & I started rescuing puppies because I thought this would never happen so I have 17 pups and 1 cat ( that just randomly showed up at my home). That i got to tend too, but to me it’s the small things that if my husband would help with I wouldn’t be so stressed. My son I’m Just trying to help get his life started pushing him to be better than me. He helps with the animals, house chores etc. I thank God for that, but getting him motivated for life is what drives me nuts. I NEED A BREAK (I just needed to vent, sorry for the long rant)

I get it! I'm only 28, but I'm a mom to 2 (daughter is 5, son is 3) and a bonus mom to 3!(all step daughters age 14,13, and 11). I just got put out of work due to me being high risk. My husband is beyond upset about this. He doesn't help me much around the house. Idk if he is bipolar or what one day he's mad I'm missing work, one day he's bringing me a plate of fruit after letting me sleep till 10am. I'm trying my best to prove to him this will be a good thing by doing housework and having dinner cooked when he gets home but he still makes comments to our kids (my bios) 'stop being like your mother' when they're being slow to do something or lazy.

Your son is 23. You’re growing a whole other person. Let him do what he’s gonna do and you can revisit after you get through the pregnancy. Your husband does need to pitch in more when you’re pregnant, regardless of any additional risks. Your hormones, your body, your brain is changing all the time.

Try sitting down and having a conversation with your husband. Start with "I've been having some troubles and I need you to hear me out fully before we have a conversation about this" so that he lets you get the whole way through everything. Or write it down. My husband works hard labor and I'm not working anymore, so I still try to do as much as I can but if I ask him to do something for me because I'm afraid I'll get hurt doing it, he has no issues doing it, I just have to ask which I don't mind. And we have custody of his 17year old brother, (we are 25) so trying to get him motivated to do anything is quite the hassle 😭 I feel your struggle there!!

@Anna no he is 19 my daughter is 23. He is trying to sign up for the Navy . So it’s a lot of back & forth. 😢

@Tamra I’ve had so many conversations and i feel like at this point it’s useless. I’m ready for these 7 weeks to go by . So I can finally get past being pregnant. I’ve never been so miserable in my life being pregnant. 🤰🏻 I’ve always loved being pregnant and this one sucks !!

@Alexis I feel like these generation of men suck 👎🏽 they expect you to work, keep up the house, maintain the children, their needs & etc. when all they do is work & come home.
