He's always telling me that I need to not DO ANYTHING. My doctor put me on bed rest about 2 months ago. I was having lots of issues, but my doctor told me at my last appointment I can do little things like dishes, SOME light cleaning, cooking. But he's just all protective over me. I guess he thinks I'll loose the baby or something. I dont know! He's just annoying. Wants me to say in bed or the couch all day and I just cant lie around. Please help! (or maybe im just venting.)

He wasnt there at the app with me, but I had my doc call him. And yes it is very nice to have someonet hat cares. But it's just annoying thats all. I feel bad because my mom in law and my mom are always having to come help me. I cant even shower by myself. My husband says I can slip and fall! How can I slip with a hundred of them non slip things on the bottom of the shower? That he put in?

And I thought mine was overprotective! Is hubby home all day? If not, then do the cleaning and the dishes. Take a shower when he's not home. Call your mother and mother in law and explain that you appreciate their help and concern, but your doctor said you can be a bit more self sufficient now. As for your hubby....well nothing short of him going with you to talk to your doctor about this will probably convince him otherwise. If you have a good relationship with your doc ask them to talk to your hubby about his being overprotective. Not like a parent would, but as a doctor reassuring your husband that you can do these little things and you'll be okay. I know that bed rest sucks, and I know that if you're not used to it, being waited on hand and foot gets old REALLY fast, but he's trying to help because he's worried. At least your husband won't let you do the dishes and such. I can count on 2 hands how many times mine has done the dishes in the last 6 months. LOL Good luck honey!

I do not see what the trouble is. The girl is harassing you and your husband. Take the phones to the police station and show them the texts and save any messages left via her so they can hear those too. Swear out a harassment criticism towards her. They are going to go to her house and give her a copy of the grievance and inform her to stop contacting you or your husband. If she continues then take her to court docket. I do not see why you don't trust your husband - he has been sincere with you from the start. After you file the grievance get your numbers changed so she not has them. Make new pals when you consider that the old neighbors will just supply the girl your new numbers. They're simply too involved with the drama. Eventually, the individuals who had been actual neighbors will come again around when they see your husband is tired of the drama too. Men and women who fairly recognize you won't feel the stories the opposite lady is telling - all people else don't subject.

I am 5 months pregnant too, and trust me it is normal. My husband is so protective he doesnt want nothing ba dto happen. If you fell like doing some light cleaning or cooking talk to him, tell him that there is nothing wrong with that. You need to make some exercise, just take it easy.

Was your husband at the appointment? If not, maybe he doesn't really "believe" what the doctor said. Bring him to the next appt. and have the doctor reassure him. Isn't it nice to have someone care?

Take your husband along to the next visit to the doc but I would kill for that attention you are lucky because most women who are pregant there husbands don even think about telling them to take it easy they still expect dinner on the stove.

Want to trade? Mine is at school or work all the time, so I do everything. Not bad though, gives me stuff to do when I am home. Besides, when I clean stuff, I know its clean. When he cleans stuff, I find it shoved under the couch. :-)

sorry you are having such a rough time!
on the bright side, your husband does sound like he is involved and he cares, which is a good thing. ;-)
maybe having your doctor talk to him would help. your doctor could explain to him what you are allowed to do.
good luck!

I agree you should have your doctor explain to your husband what you can and can't do. Just remember how fortunate to have a husband who is so concerned about you and the baby. and Congratulations
