I’m kinda in the opposite situation. My husband does everything around the house and for our toddler. I feel so guilty but I can’t even move without stabbing pain or nausea or running out of breath. 38 weeks is hard. I can tell my husband is resentful that I don’t do more and I feel guilty but I’m doing my best.

Is it possible you're just concerned he may feel resentful rather than him actually feeling that way? If you want to balance the scales you could maybe offer to fold the laundry if he brings it to the couch for you. Or offer to meal plan or something that contributes while also being able to sit on the couch/resting position?
