[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again, I also will add that, yes, I realize this is  #3 and I should have a better handle of things. Unfortunately, this pregnancy has been much harder to recover from. I had postpartum complications with preeclampsia and have been on various medications to manage it, including some with severe side effects, and I also am struggling more with BF and had a close call with mastitis requiring antibiotics, which is now resulting in thrush. All in all just more difficult and uncomfortable and itchy-painful. Not to mention dealing with BP meds and dizziness/exhaustion.

Makes DHs comments that much more intolerable when my coping mechanisms are already at an all time low. [/quote]

Hey. Stop defending yourself. Having a baby is hard work. Having a baby when you can't devote all your time, attention and energy to it is even harder. Having a baby without a supportive partner is even harder. Do you have any nearby friends or family? Temple or church? Midwife or doula or coworkers or neighbors? Put the word out that you're having a hard time. Let some nice granny neighbor lady come over for an hour and hold the baby while you shower and prep some food. Let some nerdy 14 yr old girl come hold the baby while you prep some healthy foods for a couple of days. Reach out for help and accept what comes back. Tell DH he's being an ass and his passive-aggressive comments need to stop immediately. That this was a joint decision, it's done now, and he needs to be the supportive husband and father you KNOW he's got in him. Do you have daughters, OP? Would your husband want his daughters to grow up to marry a man who kicks them when they're struggling? He is being the example of what they'll go for in the future. He is teaching his sons how to become husbands and fathers through his example of how he treats you. He needs to STFU.

Fuck, I just want to come over and make you some low-sodium soup and do some laundry while you take a bath, and "accidentally" kick your husband in the balls while doing it. Twice. [/quote]
