Hey ladies, I just need to vent.

So, I’m 39+5. I’m heavy, exhausted, and not sleeping much. I’ve been 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced for like a week or so, and not having any real contractions.

Tonight I told my husband I really needed sexy time to see if we can get things moving before my doctor pushes me to schedule an induction (which I’d love to avoid), and he is acting so weird about it. Not necessarily about having sex, but he keeps making the remark that I’m “not to my due date yet” and he’s “just not ready.”

Not READY?? You’ve had to do basically nothing this whole time, and you have the nerve to tell your exhausted and in pain wife that YOU aren’t ready??

Anyway, I tried to calmly answer questions (he never actually read the book he bought about becoming a dad), so I educated him on labor and how to help me cope through the process. I tried to be encouraging. And he’s still saying he’s all scared about it. Then I asked for a back rub because duh, my back hurts, and he tried to joke around about how our dogs were just all over him and he couldn’t move, and he gave me this (what he believed to be) funny little rub with his foot. After putting up with this for a few minutes, I got up, told him to just forget it, and that I was getting in the shower. He has tomorrow off, and I have to work. And he got all pissy that I had an attitude with him. I teach middle schoolers all day that act like jerks, and I really don’t need my husband acting like a selfish ass right now. And he just doesn’t see why I’m upset. He started saying “Fine, be that way, I guess we aren’t having sex tonight.” I’d only been trying to get him to do it for like two hours. Told him it’s not like it was gonna happen anyway at this point.

Anyone have words of encouragement? At this point, I’m just feeling really isolated and misunderstood.
