Thought I'd share this for some laughs.
I'm currently 11 weeks pregnant! Last night my husband asked me if I thought I was getting enough protein. I've had bad protein aversions for weeks now. Anything protein, meat, beans, eggs, etc. But not dairy! lol cheese is my friend right now.
Anyways, my husband, bless his heart, said he'd try and start making me some healthier meals with more protein and asked me what I'd like to start having/what can I stomach. Apparently, this really upset me and I blew up at him.
I told him all sorts of mean things and that he doesn't understand me and yelled at him for like 10 minutes. Then, for no reason, started crying uncontrollably for 20 minutes. My husband sat there, took the yelling, and then held me for the whole time I cried. When it was over he said a dumb joke to try and make me laugh, which apparently was too much for me, and I proceeded to cry for an additional 10 minutes.
I just wanna say, I love my husband! He's seriously so patient and understanding and I'm glad to have him through all this.
But Lord, have mercy on him. He has no idea what has just begun.
Re: I had my first pregnant moment last night...it has begun!
First, my husband and I have an amazing relationship and I was the one that overreacted cause hormones. I yelled at him. I take it you didn't really read what I posted? Just a funny story is all.
Second, protein is VERY important for you and your baby. It literally gives you and your baby the building blocks of life, amino acids. (Take this from me, a molecular biologist!) So meat, beans, etc you should be eating. If you don't eat meat then beans are an AMAZING source of protein, fiber, and nutrients. I really suggest looking up some legit nutrition plans for you and your baby and seeing an expert about this.
Third! Girl, I dunno if you are trolling or what, but having one little argument with my husband (which in this case was me overreacting) should NEVER constitute leaving him. Him and I talk to one another and communicate really well. What an awful thing to say to someone, someone who is pregnant and vulnerable mind you, that I should leave my husband and he's not right for me.
