Re: What should I do?
bedrest means bedrest. lock your room with enough food for the whole day and let MIL knock all she wants. if the child is born too pre-mature, you will have to witness the innocent tiny baby die in front of your eyes. google this and show your husband pictures. your MIL knowingly forcing you to work is her pretty much setting you up for a late-pregnancy abortion. google this also. trust me you will never pick up a heavy biryani pot again.
think seriously about divorce. if you divorce, you will get a share of husband’s savings/assets. you will also get child support. you seem to be a hard worker, so even if you are not all that educated, you will be able to support yourself and your child just fine IMO. There IS an entire world out there beyond your parents or your husband’s house. you might be happier and less depressed there, which will result in a better life for your child. consider your options. you have access to GS which means you can easily get online and register for some sort of training/courses to get yourself in shape for some sort of career after you leave your husband. I’m not telling you to threaten your husband with this. just set yourself up in a favorable position if you end up needing to divorce after the child is born and need a source of income.
No - do not think about giving him a divorce. She doesn’t have an immoral husband - just a bewaqoof one. Just think about putting yourself in a better position. Being strong isn’t always about walking away - stronger people figure out how to make life work for them. You stay and you make that house your own because it IS your own. Bottom line is - no one can help you or your baby until you help yourself.
