Alone

Currently 7w3d.

I feel absolutely no support from my employer. My boss will become infuriated if my OB schedules me on a day that she (my boss) has already scheduled me. I do everything I possibly can to make it work for her. Offer to work the morning, go to appointment, come back. Offer to work extra hours. Nothing. An hour out of the day with one less person is inconvenient for her. I understand it’s super inconvenient for her. No one wants to work short handed.

I specifically told the OB office when my days off are and they go “we don’t book around your schedule— we go off of the doctors availability”. Which makes sense. I even booked my first OB appointment a month out from when I found out I was pregnant so that way it wouldn’t conflict with my work schedule.

It’s also not helpful that whenever my husband is stressed out or upset he goes “I’m not the one who wanted a baby, you were”. Which kind of hurts my feelings. I understand my husband is going to have a lot on his plate too. But its just like there’s no happiness. It’s just another thing to be worried about. He gets upset with me whenever I go to bed early or when I’m craving foods or when I’m in a lot of pain (mostly my back and boobs) and he says that I’m too early in my pregnancy to be experiencing any of that.

I just feel so alone in this pregnancy. It’s my first and I just feel so unsupported.
