Overprotective spouse?!?! Anyone?!?

Question

Anyone relate? 😓 I love him to death and on one hand its sweet but it can be annoying to my family and I. I had a miscarriage earlier this year so I understand but he’s especially protective with what I eat. “No shrimp if its steamed!” “Not too much coconut!” “She cant eat that!” And when anyone sends me to do anything like move a chair or go to the store he gets upset and is like “no no she’s pregnant!” 😅 anyone relate??? Any advice on how to get him to relax?!

Answer

Shrimp is great, steamed or not! It has very little mercury and lots of Omega 3’s which are good for baby’s brain. My husband is protective as hell, but that would make me nuts, no offense. I understand his concerns, but like a previous poster mentioned, miscarriages are cause by abnormalities, generally. Not the things we eat. And a chair? I carry around a 30lbs toddler all day, you’re fine, lol!

Answer

Yeah I can’t relate as I regulate my own diet pregnant or not. I’ve had 3 MC and 2 of them were in second trimester. Perhaps explain to your husband these happen no due to food but abnormalities in the baby. Would he understand science because it is a science that causes MC technically

Answer

Nope can't relate . But that is so cute!!

Answer

Tell him to chill! Miscarriages this early aren’t your fault. You’re not hurting your baby if you eat shrimp or move a chair. 
It’s safe to workout like normal. Some women run marathons up until their water breaks. Physical activity when pregnant is actually good for you AND the baby! 
There’s also nothing unsafe about properly prepared seafood. 
Have your spouse talk to your provider, see if that can call him down. Or maybe buy him a book about pregnancy.
