  I'm so glad you posted this because I've been feeling the same way. Super unmotivated to cook, clean or even "do it". Add on my mood swings and I'm surprised he's still around. I just keep telling myself it will get better, this pregnancy thing is only temporary. You might want to consider telling him how you feel so he knows your not totally oblivious. I talked to mine about it and he was really sweet and understanding. Good luck!

  I don't know what's been getting into me lately, but I feel like such a shitty wife. It might be the pregnancy brain, the stress and worry I've been dealing with, the long stretch of work I've been doing, the lowered antidepressants.... all of these above or none. Either way I've been neglecting my house, and my husband. And I feel super shitty about it. I'm just in a funk.

  You should talk to your SI about how you've been feeling. I too went through the slump of not wanting to do anything but relax... All day every. Single. Day....lol seriously though. Your body is making a human being and it takes so much out of you. These children will forever suck the life out of us! Talk to your OB about some vitamins that give you all natural energy. And like I said explain to the man about the changes your body is making and how extremely exhausting it is. Hope things get better for you. I'm 15 weeks today and still have to convince myself to cook and clean..

  Communication is the key, of course I've been a shitty wife lately but because I feel awful with the nausea, no energy, crankiness. I can't cook anything because I hate the smells, I can't even eat sometimes and all I want to do is sleep, but I try to tell my husband how I feel and we read articles together about pregnancy and that helps him understand and be extra loving and patient. He's been really supportive with the cooking and cleaning and letting me rest, and also more patient with all my mood swings, I'm glad he has a coworker who is pregnant too and told him to believe me when I say I'm tired and feeling awful because she has been struggling with the same
