Just need to vent a little.

I’m almost 35 weeks with a high risk pregnancy. I was working full time up until last Friday. My body was exhausted and I spent most of the day in pain. Regardless, I was ready to stay until I gave birth, but my husband insisted I could quit. I wasn’t there long enough to qualify for maternity leave, and I’d be working just to pay for childcare.

Now that I’m home, I’m sleeping a lot and keeping up with chores around the house. The AC in my car is out and I’m in Florida, so I’m not going anywhere until it’s fixed this weekend.

My husband has been very sweet and supportive, but we’re not exactly thriving financially. He keeps saying everything is fine, but I feel like he’s downplaying it because he doesn’t want me to worry. He gets very stressed out when I bring up my concerns, to the point where he struggles to sleep after.

I feel so useless just laying around, chugging water, peeing, and counting kicks 😞
