I am due May 30th and am feeling the typical "get this baby out of me" aches. My pregnancy has been great so I'll take the sore back and swollen feet and just be happy that this is only starting close to my due date because I know many women who have very uncomfortable/downright painful pregnancies.
Needless to say, I have started occasionally mentioning how I'm feeling a little achy (not expecting my husband to rub my back or my feet or anything like that) and all the sudden over the past few days my husband has been whining about his sore neck or sore back. He even had the nerve to say last night that he wasn't sure if he'd be up for helping me change positions and rubbing my back if i went into labor overnight becuase he wanted to rest his back/neck. The man works a desk job! I do the cleaning around the house and all the other physical stuff and he is whining about not being sure he'll be up to helping me through labor!!!! Ugh, so needless to say after me rubbing IcyHot on his back didn't help I have made him a massage therapy appointment. I do want him to feel better but I am just so angry about the fact that he's carrying on like a whiney baby when I'm the one about to pop out our baby! I want a massage! (I did try to book myself one at the same time, but they only had one opening). Yes, this is a pity party for me that I am throwing.
Honestly, I think what concerns me the most is thinking about my husband not realizing how much I am going to need him to be "in the zone" when I go into labor. He is the person I'm depending on and if he is whining I don't think it will go very well.
Re: Scheduled Massage...for my Husband...ugh (vent)
If it makes you feel better, I didn't want anyone to touch me during labor...
My DH was similar, he got lots of sympathy pains, and sympathy eating, sympathy weight gain... I swear the next time he complains about sleep, I might go off the deep end.
