Thank you so much for the kind and supportive words ladies. I cant tell you how much it means to me
I feel so much better knowing that I am NOT the only one and that I am not losing the plot.
I did some research yesterday on what husbands go through at the end of a pregnancy. Aparently it is a very weird time for them. They are very in tune with the mothers emotions and start to mimick them ie, get very needy, want to be looked after themselves *sammie rolls eyes - TYPICAL * and this can play havoc on the mother. This is very common in couples that have been infertile prior to the preg. It even has a name, couvade syndrome. I think this is exactly what has been a main contributor to my depression. The man has been driving me nuts. Anyways, my sister called him last night and told him about what her DH did at the end of her pregnancies (he just totally lost it and was COMPLETELY USELESS) and my DH finally got a clueHe asked me to write a list of things that I want him to remember every day and he would do them. I think my sisters DH getting on the phone and saying to him "Its going to get ugly. More ugly than you can imagine. Just do EVERYTHING she says and smile while you do it. And dont ask her if you can stop for a burger on the way to the hospital. Whatever you do, dont do that." ( LOL this nearly caused a divorce)
I feel so much better today. I think maybe yesterday was a bit of a turning point for me. You girls were a bit part of that so again - thank you all so very very much.
Oh and TMI but a some of the plug came away this morning... should I do anything or just wait?
Eeeeeek!
Hugs to all,
Sammie
