(He wants me to have a job by Monday....and is agigtated by my less than satisfactory grades in the college courses I am enrolled in)
He doesn't seem to understand that it is very difficult being pregnant!
........Not only are my physical capabilities limited during this time, but I have found that my mental capabitlities aren't necessarily up to par either.
How can I make him understand and empathize with me during this time??

Have you tried describing to him how much physical and mental stress this is causing you? Surely, you won't be able to get a job right now anyway. Who would hire a pregnant woman who will clearly need to take days off work?

He's not going to understand...at least not for a couple of years. After the baby is born and you leave it with him for a few hours and go shopping by yourself he will start to see what it's like. I was 5 days overdue with my first child and my boyfriend asked me why I was being so lazy while we were moving into our new apartment. I was lifting heavy boxes and going up and down stairs and stuff. I stopped to take a break and catch my breath and he said what are you doing we gotta get a move on. I said I think I may be going into labor. He said yeah right you're just faking it. Some guys just don't have any sympathy for womens emotional or physical problems. Sounds like you got one.

Sorry to tell u but ur hubby is an idiot. Who is going to hire you at 6 months pregnant? The only think you might do is to keep kids while the parents work. you could put up an ad somewhere or in a small newspaper, you would make pretty good, people here pay up to $100 a week for child care. I live in south FL.

And u are in college to oh my that must be very hard and stressful on u.

Take him to your doctor with you and get them to explain it to him, he doesn't sound like a very good husband but sometimes the stress of a child coming makes them react fairly strangely, hes under a lot of stress too im sure

There is no way that he is going to empathize He is a man, he will never understand. That's just the way that men are.

ask him does he want to be pregnant? tell him that you are not emotionally or physically capable. explain to him that your hormones are going through a temporarily change. that as soon as you have the baby,you will be more than glad to get a job.

Get rid of him...Being that inconsiderate at this time...is a sample of what the future holds for you. I really feel sorry for you.

if your done explaining....strap a 8 kilo sack around his waist and chest....that will explain the physical drain.....as for the memory loss its hard to get him to experience that...maybe dont allow him to sleep for a day....lol....
at the end of the day...they will never get it....thats why they are men
