So where do I start?
First things first, if you are not ready for brutal honesty, then stop reading now!

I have two online businesses and hubby and I have been working together for many, many years.
Something we could manage to do without wrecking our relationship.

Well, I am a mom of a 6 year old and happily married. We were trying for a second child for a while. I eventually fell pregnant and we were totally over the moon!

Being 40, my blood tests came back with a high risk for Down Syndrome, 1/17 risk.
That was a shock as you can imagine. We have decided if there would have been something wrong with peanut, that we would abort and try again. So we went for an amnio and the results were good!
Our pregnancy was safe, no need to worry or try and prepare yourself for a negative outcome.
Peanut was fine!

So the days pass and I did not feel very pregnant, no morning sickness, no mood swings, nothing.

Now I am 24 weeks and the bump has been growing and I look and feel pregnant! For about two or so months I have been battling with restless legs at night. Now I do not go to bed very early and as we know it hits you just before you want to rest.
I have often asked hubby to rub my legs or my back, but every time 'we' had a long face and oh my god that made me feel like I was a burden. I promised myself I will not ask him a damn thing again. Stubborn, yes I know, but that is me.
Waking up three, four, five times a night to go pee and move the legs a bit. As much as it bothers me, I will not ask for help, and guess what?? Yes, you guessed right, hubby also did not even offer.
The only time he thought of offering to rub me, was when I mentioned to him how bad his attitude made me feel. Worthless to say the least.
But I guess men don't really give a sh!t, because the are not carrying the baby and does not understand what a woman's body feel like. But I have to add, with our first born, things was a lot different! Probably because it was the first and it was a new experience, therefore 'we' were more hands on. Now with the second pregnancy, it is old news, been there don that.
Why should I try and make my wife feel special or appreciated???
