Q: Issues with Dizziness and Husband

I don't like posting personal issues but I have no one else to talk to about this...Early this morning, I started to feel extremely dizzy and nauseous. I called Labor and Delivery and they want me to come in. I called my husband and let him know what was happening but he didn't answer. I left him texts on his phone explaining what was happening. I called an hour later to see if he would pick up. He didn't call me back. I called him. He asked me what was wrong. I told him how I felt really sick and how this could effect the baby. He told me that he was working and couldn't take calls. So basically he brushed the whole thing up. I'm waiting till this afternoon for my dad to pick me up and take me to labor and delivery. There is too much traffic. It would take hours for him to get here and its raining. I have my 4 year old with me now. I feel really upset and neglected. What should I do about my husband? What should I say? Thanks!

Wow I wish I had some good advice to offer, but I don't. That sounds very hurtful and I would be upset too. Normally I would say tell him how you feel but he seems too busy to listen...

Sometimes men just don't get it. I mean don't get me wrong, some do, but most just don't think like we do. Whenever I try to tell my husband something I plan it to come out in a factual way so it's the least complaining it can sound. Let's face it, as pregnant women we have things to complain about :) But sometimes it gets to where they just don't even pay attention to it anymore. So saying things like "something isn't right, the doctors told me to come in so we can be sure it's not harming the baby" gets thru to mine better than "I'm feeling dizzy and icky, we should go in in case it's something serious." My guess is he's not trying to neglect you, or make you feel hurt, he just doesn't see the big deal or understand why you keep calling him at work :) good luck! Hope all is well and you feel better!
