Am I being too sensitive?
I am third trimester in a super high risk pregnancy (rare genetic disease and I’m on multiple meds and having heart issues) and started having super strong Braxton hicks and sharp belly pain just this week. I just said to my husband that I was having the sharp belly pain again and he snapped at me “yeah I get it, you always have contractions and belly pain, I’m done hearing it over and over, you don’t have to repeat yourself.” It really took me aback. Like to start with it just started this week so literally I’ve only shared that with him this week. And why shouldn’t I be able to share with my husband if I’m having pain or a concerning symptom during this pregnancy especially now we are in third trimester and doctor said I’m high risk for preterm labor?? I thought I was supposed to tell him not just pretend everything’s fine and go through it alone. I’m not a complainer and he goes on and on about his muscle twitch in his shoulder ten times a day and I listen and show empathy even though it’s just a funny twitch that causes him no pain or discomfort.
Am I being too sensitive? I feel like he’s being an ass, am I wrong? Like I’m going through hell in and out the hospital carrying our baby and I should just shut up about sharp belly pain because god forbid he would have to endure hearing that I have it???
