23-11-2009 - more braxton hicks

My mood while writing this blog: annoyed

---

Every evening around after 4pm. for the last 5 days I've been getting more than 4 braxton hicks an hr. When I lay down it goes away, but as soon as I get up after a few minutes it comes back. I called the Doc and she said as long as they go away when I lay down. So I said I pretty much have to be on bed rest in the evening. She said yes. This is going to be rough taking care of my 20 mth old. My husband gets off work at 8 and 9pm sometimes. I told my hubby and he was angry that my body is having such a hard time keeping the baby inside me. He works a lot of hrs and the last thing he wants to do is chores when he gets home. He does help out all the time, but not w/ out complaining. He wanted this baby too so he does help me when I need it. But now he said he doesn't want any more kids after this pregnancy since my body has a hard time keeping the baby in me. He knows I have my heart set on 3 kids. He said he can't take another bed rest pregnancy. I'm so angry at him for saying that. He knows I want a big family. He promised me I could if I moved away from my families state that I could have as many as I want.. Now we live here w/ no family to help if we need it and he's going back on his word. I'm sad today.

i hope your ok hun sounds like your having a though time of it lately. Does your hubby realise that a bed rest pg is in fact harder on you than him :O If he moved you away from your family then he has to accept he has to help out ALOT

I'm sorry to hear that you are sad today. I pray that your BH stop and you can resume your life as normal. I remember how hard it is to be chasing a little one while growing another little one. I think our husbands go through some hormonal things too while we are pregnant. Just because your body is having a hard time with this pregnancy doesn't mean the same thing would happen again. Hang in there.

I'm sorry you are going through this... That's not fair of him to say... Sometimes i wish the men would have to go through a pregnancy. I also started BH contractions. They HURT so far. :( I called the Dr. today since I was having pain that felt like she was coming out (no joke).

I am so, so sorry you are going through this, and I am sorry you don't have the support from your husband. That would make partial bed rest extremely hard. I could not imagine not having the support of my husband and family as I do. Plus we have a hard enough time with our bodies as it is - we don't need others to tell us that we are not functioning correctly.. I have often felt like a failure, that I am not fully a woman because I have struggled getting pregnant and staying pregnant, but thankfully my husband never sees it that way. I wish I could fix all this for you. Have you reminded him of his promises or maybe even suggested moving back closer to family? I am thankful that my mom came the day before I had my last scan and that I have her help now that I am on bed rest. It would be hard without that support, particularly if you have another child, like I do too. Praying for wisdom and strength for you, and also for those braxton hicks. Much love, Karin

AWWW, sorry mama! This too shall pass! Our men become mice when they can't save us. Things will turn around. You can keep this baby inside and you will! Whatever it takes! Be positive and when you do feel well enough, make him a nice romantic candle light dinner and give him a head to toe rub down ( With a Happy Ending) Wink Wink! ;)~
