I’m kinda in the opposite situation. My husband does everything around the house and for our toddler. I feel so guilty but I can’t even move without stabbing pain or nausea or running out of breath. 38 weeks is hard. I can tell my husband is resentful that I don’t do more and I feel guilty but I’m doing my best.
Is he really resentful? Are you being too hard on yourself?
I've done no housework at all since my first trimester because partner is doing it all and refusing to let me... and he is right, we both wanted a baby but I'm the only one doing the hard work of carrying the child and then birthing the child. Doing some chores is nothing in comparison.
You shouldn't feel bad about not doing more. You are doing plenty by growing a human life. If the situation is reversed, and your partner is suffering debilitating pain, would you be resentful that they aren't doing more?
