I feel like i am just a massive burden.

I am 9weeks pregnant, we found out in week 3, and my Fiancé has been great. For weeks he did the housework and went to the shops to get my cravings and get food and drinks. For context I have been in the first trimester trenches and often I can only eat when he is there to get me food and stuff, i knoe for a fact without his support I would've been hospitalised about twice by now. However it has been clearly taking a toll on him and I can see he is really tired. In the last few days he has begun huffing and puffing and complaining when I ask him to do things and often takes himself to the bedroom alone to avoid me. I feel really really bad because I should be doing more, especially on days when I feel a little better (not super dizzy, constantly sick and a constant headache) I feel bad for not doing more, but I know if i try and make food and do housework in the evening I will get worse again. At this point I am beginning to hate myself for being such a big burden. To make it worse, I dont have a full time job so I dont even pay the bills so I feel like I dont contribute now and im just a drain. Any advice?

Also, I am worried because he doesnt handle tiredness well at all, he cannot hide when he is grumpy and that isn't good for newborn phase. Tiredness is his biggest weakness id say.

Im nearly 7 weeks and morning sickness (and dizziness) is nearly taking me out. Still working and just trying to eat enough (and keep down enough) calories. Bouncing between dizziness, nausea and vomiting is not fun.

I am currently house sitting for a dog who is recently post operation. She has had diarrhoea, but since she is fluffy it gets all stuck in her back floof. I have wiped her as clean as possible but cannot shower her yet as she still has her surgery dressing on. The dog likes to sleep in bed with me at night and her owner wants her to sleep there too, however I do not like the idea of her in bed with me as she still is not particularly clean. Is it reasonable for me to refuse to let her in bed, even if she is less happy sleeping in the living room?
