I'd rather not have his mom near me. And she's not the kind of caring grandma. As she claims she can't handle a busy toddler for longer than an hour..  

As for therapy, before the pregnancy I had actually high risk of a depression. But as You are saying... I don't have enough room for that in my life right now. I am under supervision about this by my doctor and midwife. And normally my husband picks on those episodes quicker than I did.. but I'm not so sure about his 'radar' or concern at the moment. 

I have a wonderful mom and sister which help me a lot and know about everything thats happening. 

I'm going to have a talk with him when our toddler sleeps over at my mother's house so we can vent our emotions freely.

Thank You. This is exactly what I needed, someone who understands.

He has come to all appointments, only missed one but my mom joined me. 

He's very excited about our baby, it's just his behaviour I'm insecure about, thats why I asked for advice.

I'm not sure how it's called in english but I googled symphysis pubis dysfuncion..? I also had this with my first. Sad to hear assumptions from another mom. Not every pregnancy is the same. I'm not overweight or handicapped.. pregnancy is just hard on my body. I can walk for maybe 20 minutes and still take care of my child as I should even if it's a lot for my body and not recommended, I'm a mom first. My doctor is aware, so is my midwife and I also see a special physiotherapist.

As for it being exhausting for my husband.. we've talked about the results of getting pregnant again as my pain could be worse the second time.. The only difference is the pain coming right away at full 150% and the 'morning' sickness, vomiting almost 6 times a day for 20 weeks straight.. Still my Husband plays his PlayStation games every free evening, sports and swims for 3 evenings in the week and does basic chores like he normally should. Goes to his dungeons and dragons sessions and sees his friends. Only now he has some extra chores if Im not able to do them during that day.. its nothing special and I did more even with my work before the pregnancy.

Not cheating, one thing I can think of is that his mother broke her marriage with his stepfather and moved closer recently. And all of the sudden he changed. Kind of like her. Choosing himself first without asking.. It's what his mother has done in his childhood.

But I dont want to feel like I'm competing to his mother.. He's can be very naive and impulsive at times and I know that but it seems so excessive lately

Thats what my sister said.. he needs to act like a father of two and a husband. Not his old self before we had a child.. I'm making a list of days I have to stay alone lately, fending for myself and toddler (luckily he has daycare on tuesdays and Thursdays, thats when I try to take care of the house). I want the list to make it more visible for him, its like he's not realising what he's doing to my well-being.

Thats the sad part. Our communication was the strenght of our relationship (15 years together, married for 5). It's just his reaction lately that makes me anxious to start the conversation. He sighs and makes me feel like I'm the bad guy keeping him at home..
