HG with Limited Support
I feel so whiny writing this, but I’m starting to go crazy. This is my second HG pregnancy. This one has been much more severe than the first (had to quit working, frequent ER visits, I basically can’t get off the couch and contribute anything because I’m so sick and weak). I have a 2 year old which also makes this extremely challenging since I can very barely care for him in my condition.
My husband isnt a bad man and to his credit he picks up a lot of hours at work, but since I’ve been sick for about 2 months now, hes let the house go to absolute hell and my son is constantly dirty and wearing old clothes, not bathed enough, etc. It’s driving me insane but I feel like I can’t speak up because I’m part of the reason this is happening. When it comes to housework, my husband will do the dishes when he gets to them and that’s about it. We have zero clean laundry upstairs it stays sitting in the drier in the basement. The cat litter is constantly filthy and the house reeks of cat poop/pee/dirty litter which has been HELL with my HG. Sticky floors, ants everywhere. Trash all throughout the living area thats been there for days/weeks until I pick it up. My parents offered to pay for a cleaning service but this is like beyond what a cleaning service would do. I need help cleaning up the house just to have it in a state where a cleaner would even agree to work.
Again I feel like I’m in a horrible spot bc I feel like I can’t speak up I have sooo much guilt about how sick I am and how I can’t contribute anything so I just keep quiet, but it’s getting to a point where our house is just disgusting and unhealthy. Anyway thanks for listening to my rant/vent I’m praying so hard that I feel better soon for so many reasons.
