over protective husband

This is our first baby together. I have 3 from my previous marriage. My husband is about to run me crazy!! He want me to stop working and I don't. Yes I've been sick but I know that's normal. My Dr haven't said I need to stop either. Yes I have a very stressful job but I make over 75k a year so I expect pressure at work. He thinks it's not worth it. But I'm looking at the $$$. Am I being unreasonable or greedy? I don't want to be a stay at home mom.. help..

I think your husband just wants you to be happy. A lot of moms dream of being a SAHM so maybe he thinks you would like it as well. I would sit down with him and explain that that's not what you want. Every parent wants what is best for their children and feel they can provide better with a larger income. There is no wrong thing to choose. Honestly as a SAHM myself, there are days when I wish I could work. Unfortunately we moved to the middle of no where and we don't know anyone here well enough to trust them with our kids. You do what you feel is best!

I would stay at work as long as it's not a very physical job and you feel your able to do it.

Once you feel comfortable at work and you are not over working yourself you should continue doing tour work and that your are not putting you baby in any sort of danger.  Staying home is so boring because it getting to me right now as much as my energy is low.

I would do what feels right to me I stopped working because my job is super physical... I was having a hard time doing my job so I stopped a month before I was due. If you can handle your job I'd say go for it and maybe take more time off after your little one has arrived maybe sit down and talk to your husband about how you truly feel he may not understand everything that your thinking or feeling and visa virus... good luck and congratulations
