So frustrated!
So I'm a stay at home mom with an almost 4 year old and I'm almost 35 weeks pregnant with our third baby ( our second child passed away). The baby I'm pregnant with has a severe heart defect requiring surgery soon after birth. The last couple of appointments I've had my blood pressure was high and it was high at my growth scan/Biophysical Profile at my high risk doctors. They out me on modified bed rest because not only is higher BP bad in normal pregnancies but having even slightly high BP in a pregnancy with a heart defect baby is even worse. What they told me about modified bedrest: I can get out of the house a few times a week but not stay out very long. And when I'm at home I need to be sitting with my feet up and only get up to go pee/ grab food and drink from kitchen. My husband works and when I told him about this he scoffed at me. He came down with a cold on the day I was told to go on modified bedrest and he is helpless. He has the biggest attitude and doesn't help me with anything. I have been having to do laundry which he complains about because he seems to never have clean underwear and socks. I have to get up and do dishes twice a day and cook dinners. On my feet. I usually leave the dishwasher with dirty dishes so that he can load up what he uses and to try to make it easier for him but he continually just stacks dishes in sink with pots and pans. I'm just so tired of it. I hardly sleep at night and I'm emotional. No one in my house seems to understand that I need to be off my feet as much as possible. But god forbid I ask for help cuz he has a fucking man cold.
