I love DH, I really do, but he's kind of irritating me

This is our first LO and I'm 37w3d. Saturday, I was having super strong menstrual like cramping. I've had these before but Saturday they were amplified times a million without letting up. So after about 3 hours, DH suggested we go to the hospital to make sure everything is okay. I was stubborn and said no. Eventually I gave up and decided to go. The monitored me and of course, it was nothing. I felt like I had wasted my time and $$. I get it's better to be safe than sorry but I've had pains like this before and the doc is aware of them and told me they're nothing.

 So I'm taking half a day off work tomorrow to just chill, clean up the house a little, and take care of a few lingering errands. I bought a breast pump from a good friend so I need to get replacement parts. We live in rural VA so I am an hour from Target (wal mart doesn't sell the pump that I bought). I said I was planning on going tomorrow and DH said he didn't want me to go by myself. I said that I would ask SIL if she could go (she's off work). SIL already has plans. So now, I guess I will wait until Saturday when DH can go. I am trying to respect DH's wishes but it's getting hard. I'm very independant and stubborn. I could ask my Mom to go but we are not exactly on the best of terms right now.

 I am 30% effaced, 1 cm dialated. I could go up until my due date or tomorrow, who knows. I know DH cares but it's hard sometimes.

    It sounds likeYH is very involved with the pregnancy and is invested in your family. That's a good thing.

    This is a good thing, and I suspect you may get some eye rolls with this one. I think you should count your blessings, but at the same time, I know where you are coming from. DH is the same way with me, and a lot of times I do get frustrated because I feel like if I I so much as lift a finger he's going to come running out in a referee outfit blowing a whistle. But at the end of the day, I can't complain. He could be paying no attention at all and whining about how I'm not doing more. Plus, in most cases he's right. At three weeks before my due date, there's a lot I shouldn't be doing. So in the end, I'm extremely thankful for him.

    To be honest I wish I were in your shoes...I don't feel like my DH is concerned with what I'm going through at all.  He told me the other day that I'm "a handful".  I have definitely been more emotional since I got pregnant but I also work full-time, take care of my 8yr old son, make dinner when I get home, do all of our laundry, and take care of our home.  So I feel like I'm doing my best to handle everything but it would be nice to have someone concerned about me every once in awhile.  I get zero sympathy from him and have felt very alone this entire pregnancy.

    I just wanted to share what its like on the other side because it might help put things into perspective.  I realize its frustrating but you really are lucky :)

    I agree, he sounds involved and caring. I don't think it is a good idea for you to drive an hour away alone either. I wouldn't do it. Let YH be the man and take care of you. This is how men love. They feel like they are loving us when they provide for us and protect us. He is trying to protect you. I think it is very sweet.
