My Husband Demanded I Save up While Pregnant Because I Won’t Be Able to Work When Our Baby Arrives
Six months pregnant, juggling swollen feet, cravings, and a full-time job, I expected love and support. But what did I get from my dear husband? A piggy bank with a note telling me to “SAVE UP” for maternity leave. Guess who’s about to get a rude awakening?
Pregnancy is supposed to be this magical time, right? All joy, anticipation, and that adorable baby bump glow. Well, let me tell you, it can also be when your husband suddenly forgets how to be human. I’m Regina, 35, and I thought I had life figured out until my darling Dan threw me a curveball that would make a saint swear…
I groaned, kicking off my shoes. “Like being a beached whale in an office chair. But I managed.”
Dan chuckled, his eyes falling to the shopping bag in my hand. “Ooh, what’d you get?”
“A dress that doesn’t make me feel like a sausage in casing,” I replied, pulling out a flowy maternity dress. “This is so comfortable! Just what I need to squeeze my growing belly and breathe easily.”
