I feel like a prisoner in my own home...

DH is so nervous about me going anywhere right now.  Any time I've suggested going more than 5 minutes from home lately he starts freaking out.  I swear he's going to have an anxiety attack over me going into labour.

I just suggested we go visit his family (something I just about never do because I despise them, but he hasn't seen them in probably 2 months).   He says he's too nervous to risk making the hour drive to see them.

No amount of reasoning with him is helping to ease his mind.  I'm so bored at home, I'll do anything to get out...even if it means visiting his family!

Ugh, that would get on my nerves. I would go stir crazy if I couldn't go anywhere. My mom and I went and got pedicures and walked around the mall yesterday. Today, FI's mom is coming to take me shopping. Tell your DH that you can't take it anymore lol!

That is EXACTLY why I took a walk around the corner the other day.  Trust me, it helped.  Also, we played UNO Sunday evening that that seemed to combat my cabin fever, at least for a few hours..

Looks like us 39-weekers are all in the same place!   I took a long walk around the neighborhood this morning, and that seemed to help some, but I still feel like I want to GO somewhere and DO something... I just don't know what

OMG, I'd go crazy if DH did this. I would have probably gotten in my car and driven to the store w/o telling DH. Then come back and told him to chill out.

I feel like a prisoner too, but that's because I'm on bedrest!  Blah!!  Snuck out yesterday though to vote and get a pedi.  It was great!  (bedrest is for high blood pressure by the way - not anything that needs total pelvic immobility). 
But I know what you mean - hubby was being a little unreasonable before the bedrest.  I wanted to go see a comedian, and he seemed to think it was a bad idea.  He didn't explain himself well, but I think the fear was that I would laugh the baby right out!

My DH isn't freaking out about me going out too much ... but I definitely get more tired more easily now, so anytime we do go out, it's rarely for very long anyway. 

We're more worried about me going to work everyday because H1N1 is going around.  I mean, even though I've been vaccinated, you never know what germs people are harboring.

DH has been really good until this week, so I shouldn't really complain.  I just don't get why he's so stressed, it's totally not like him.  Usually I'm the stressball in the family.
