Can you ladies please give my husband an accurate description of what the last 2 weeks actually feels like to us, his sympathy level is zero and needs a reality check :)

    They won't be able to fully understand because haven't been thru it. Pregnancy is a difficult time especially the end. The end is miserable! Everything hurts, your exhausted, your hormones are out of control, heartburn sucks, you have a full grown person kicking and punching your insides, it feels like you have been kicked by a mule when you walk, you drive yourself nuts because of nesting but you don't have the energy to clean and when you do you just make yourself feel more miserable! I could go on but like everything in life unless you have gone through it you won't be able to fully u sweat and it. He should have sympathy for the simple fact that you are his wife and are telling home how you feel.

    I'm at my limit this week!! Yesterday was exactly 2 weeks left for me and I swore I couldn't do another day. I googled every labor inducing food and wives tale I could find. My morning sickness has come back and is making up for the time it missed during the 2nd trimester. Elevating my feet doesn't even reduce the swelling anymore. My stomach is so tight I'm surprised it doesn't actually pop. We're in the home stretch but it feels like it's so far away

    This is baby # 3 and my husband still has no sympathy. I work full time as a nurse working 3 - 12 hr shifts a week and take care of our 2 1/2yr old and 16mo old during the week. I nap when they nap, work all night and watch them the next day. I am telling you this not because I am looking for sympathy but because most people who hear it think I am crazy and understand why I am tired- my husband doesn't - he'll just never get it and I don't believe yours will either. Venting here helps though ; )

    Punch him in the lower part of his stomach, then squeeze for 30 seconds, and do this every 3-5 minutes for two weeks. Should shut him up in about 10 minutes. Lol


    Yes. And make him walk around, in public, with an 8 pound bowling ball strapped to his stomach.

    @lida1182 you are my hero! I don't know how you work full time and watch those little ones! I only have the little ones (nearly the same age) and I'm done!

    @xuxachi - thanks, I really needed to hear that tonight- having a bad night at work and just want to cry and go sleep in my bed. I love what I do at work and home, wouldn't change it for the world, but a little more sleep would be nice ; )

    8 lbs bowling ball!? Try 40lbs bowling ball and see how your feet and back feel at the end of each day... Shock his legs all night long (RLS) after you stood on his crotch for two hours and got off, don't let him eat anything (cause always hungry) then ask him why he's so damn grouchy..
    Oh throw some heartburn and swollen feet in too...

    On top of all that have people, strangers and sometimes family included, comment about his size when he is walking around with that 40 lb bowling ball.
