Have you been in this situation ?

Have you feel dissapointed in your partner during/ throughout your pregnancy? Did anyone understand you ? Were you being labelled the one who is the caused of it in the first place?

definitely have felt like iā€™m alone during my pregnancy because no one else can really understand what iā€™m going through. i constantly found myself subconsciously comparing my contribution/ efforts during the pregnancy to my partnerā€™s. on hindsight, this was very toxic and not at all helpful for my own mental health. every time i felt that my partner wasnā€™t doing enough, i would try to catch myself and reflect if itā€™s just the hormones blowing up my feelings and try to think of things my partner has actually done. usually i would feel better and if i donā€™t, then i try to talk to my partner about how iā€™m feeling and discuss how he can help me. at the end of the day, our partners will never experience what weā€™re going through so itā€™s unrealistic to expect them to automatically know and understand how we feel. we might need to be more upfront and vocal about what we need but the most important thing is that theyā€™re willing to listen and make an effort.

We are definitely more ā€œfragileā€ and more emotional when we are pregnant. So things that did not disappoint can disappoint now. Talk to your partner on how your feelings has changed in this pregnancy phase and suggest to him how he can better support you and your feelings. Tough situations donā€™t last, tough women do! Hugs!
