So i have FINALLY made my OH understand me as a pregnant woman. He has no idea of the body changes we go through when we are pregnant. He always thinks i am making excuses to bugger off to bed when in fact i am actually shattered and sore and dizzy and generally feeling like crap. HE HAS SEEN THE LIGHT! And all because i went to WordPad and wrote down my emotions. I can never get a word in when trying to talk to him because he always talks over the top of me. We had a big row this morning which seems so stupid now, but it really hurt at the time. Trying to talk to him is like talking to a brick wall. So i put it all down into words. I told him how i was feeling, how he was making me feel, how his actions and his words hurt me even more now because of my hormonal changes. I told him my symptoms, i went into detail about absolutely everything. I copy and pasted links from google at the beginning of the 6 page document with the heading 'Instead of researching your bull shit about iPads and iPhones etc maybe have a read at something that actually matters...' And it seemed to have done the trick! He came upstairs and apologized, said he never realized what pregnancy actually does to us.
Its a breakthrough, he finally understands!!! So if any of your OH's dont really understand what your going through, i seriously suggest writing it all down. I feel like a ton weight has been lifted from my shoulders, like i took all my raging hormones and shoved them into that letter! Everything is all good and dandy now, for now

I'm so pleased and may have to do the same. Dh was a nightmare and totally unsupportive when ds was young and bf constantly.
In an argument recently he brought up how I was lazy from 7mnth pgtil I went back to work.
I went mental at him and he's still not understanding.

The same here, i was heavily pregnant with OUR son and i had developed a case of SPD at 32 weeks and i was in constant agony but STILL i was doing absolutely everything while he slept in every day and played computer games He thought there was nothing wrong with me, thought i was just playing victim! But he FINALLY understands! My OH also thought i was using my tiredness as an excuse to get away. It was (and still is) so tempting to slap some sense into him xx
