Neglectful Husband/Father
So... I'm sitting here at 24 Weeks pregnant and I've been having Braxton Hicks this past week or so. So no big deal, as I've read that it's normal. I'm a little person and am disabled (on SSI), so pregnancy in itself is an EXTREMELY intense and stenuous thing on my body. Yet, he still expects soo much out of me! He KNOWS I don't tell him I'm in pain ALL the time I am, so when I DO tell him I'm not feeling well or can't do something... I'm expecting for him to understand as such.
After telling my Dr about my Braxton Hicks, they said that I need to relax more and not do too much. So I reported this instruction back to my husband... and he laughed saying, "you barely do anything now!" So last night we got in a fight because I had not yet completed a task he wanted me to do... (switch stuff from one dresser to the other and visa versa). He's yelling at me saying how he has to do so much and how I don't know how hard it is for him and yada yada. Well I cried all night and didn't sleep a wink.
Well this morning and right now I'm having INTENSE and consistent Braxton Hicks/contractions. They're coming every 3-10 minutes and although it's not painful, it's definitely INTENSE and such. I'm sitting here in the bed, explaining this to him (as he's completely changed his mood back to normal today and is talking to me like nothing's happened) and he does nothing! Just gets on his Xbox despite what I had just said and the intense expression on my face! This breaks my heart because I want him there!! I don't expect him to be an obsessive or even a dorky FB dad. I just wish he'd be attentive and supportive at times. To be understanding of when and if I'm not doing well and to not expect me to carry such a heavy load when I can't/shouldn't be.
I'm worried that I may even be in labor... and I'm not one to cry wolf or be dramatic, dealing with my health problems day to day has desensitized and raised my immunity to discomforts, negative suspicion and pain.
Any women dealing with baby daddy's like mine? Or have experience with such?
