Tired, grumpy and bored. Taking it out on DH. Anybody else?

[Ambivalent]

I am very grateful for being able to have this healthy growing baby, but lately I am just feeling so frustrated. Everything I used to enjoy is off limits now. Can't go horse riding, go for drinks, spend any amount of time in smokey bars, skiing, boating, etc. I can't even go for a decent walk as it hurts my back and I can't cope with the heat so the beach is out.
But my DH can obvisouly still do all the things I miss and lately he has been going out quite a bit. So this evening I gave him a really hard time about going out to a beer festival, saying I am not happy with not getting any quality time with him. But that is probably just being mean and selfish since there aren't really any fun activities we can do together at the moment. Right? Are you ladies cool with your other halves going out enjoying themselves?

I have a feeling I am being bratty, but I can't help it. Not sleeping isn't helping my mood either.

I don't mind if he goes out by himself. I actually encourage it because honestly, I enjoy the break and having the house to myself. he just has to have keep his phone nearby and no drinking in case something happens and he has to bring me in to the hospital...we only have one car.

I felt like this around 35 weeks. I was so down. I enjoy being at home and enjoy my own company but I don't think it's bratty to ask your DH to spend some quality time with you. You could do something really nice like go for a meal or cook one at home. Both involved. Then watch a movie, play some lame board games and get him to run you a bath and give you a massage (although this is probably easier said than done). I had to remind my other half quite a lot a few weeks ago that I'm sacrificing a lot for this pregnancy - my body, my job/career, my social life.... It's a two way street, why should he get to do all the stuff you'd love to do but can't?! Hang in there hugs x
