Advice: Expecting a baby and dreading spouse’s input on weight
My husband asks for the details of my appointments, and I find that I instinctively clam up. I don’t want to tell him how much weight I gained or what the doctor recommends about diet or lifestyle. I’m not doing anything “wrong,” I just don’t want to be policed, even lightly. And my husband is not the boss, but he IS a relative health nut.
Let’s back up for a second. The weigh-in and dietary suggestions are just not the bits from OB appointments that say, “Share me!” at least not to anyone without an unhealthy preoccupation with the mother’s body. So what I want to know — and you need to know, toward your own emotional health — is the source of your reflexive clampdown. Are you flinching from something in your past, or from your present partner? Who got so invasive with your body that trust is no longer an option?
