Apparently im lazy if i take a nap says my fiance and his family. Even tho i cook, clean, and on Saturdays i waitress and will soon have a full time waitressing job and was diagnosed with lupus. When i say im in pain...he acts like im not and says im a hyprocondriact. I am 24 weeks pregnant tomorrow. My feet have already started to swell bc im constantly on my feet. Am i wrong for being upset tht they think im being lazy when i am so exhausted.

No i would be upset too. That is very inconsiderate of both your fiance and his family, particularly any woman in his family that has been pregnant themselves. They should be considerate of all that you do. I cook clean and take care of dogs everyday and still take at least one nap a day because it is tiring to do just that. Im 25 weeks and have scholiosis (bad spelling) it makes being tired easily that much worse. But no you are not wrong at all for being upset.

Lol Don't feel bad at all! Some people just will NEVER understand, nor appreciate, the pregnant struggle. I'm 29weeks & don't work at all, but I am in school full time & already have 5yr old. I get tired ALL THE TIME. Lol & my boyfriend acts the same way sometimes, but I don't let it get to me anymore.  You shouldn't either, take care of yourself & your baby! & congrats!  ☺

Get all the rest you can now! It takes a lot out of you to be carrying a baby and on top of that having lupus and being a waitress. Don't let anyone make u feel lazy. Take all the time you need I rest and if they can't be supportive that's silly. Most woman tke a daily nap.  And if your feet are swelling that's not good so take it easy and get your rest. Good luck!

You are going a mini human inside of you. It takes a lot out of you. I only work 5 hours a day and I am so tired by the time I get home. Get all the rest you need now because when baby comes it will be harder. It sounds like you do quite a bit. If you need a nap take one.good luck.
