Struggling with this pregnancy

I know it won’t last forever but it feels like it will. The symptoms are really getting me down now. I have no energy at all and feel like I’m going to faint any moment. It’s not good when I have an 11 month old and can barely walk up the stairs carrying her. I don’t even have energy to shower. I’m really not enjoying this at all 😪 I feel like I’m barely surviving each day, I don’t want to leave the house because I feel so sick and weak and my poor baby has watched too much tv recently while I collapse on the sofa. My husband works 4 on 4 off and he’s currently on his night shifts. I know I’m low on iron as well as having low blood pressure, I feel like I’m so close to end up on a drip or something at the hospital

😞 me too I’m Going through it ! We got this 💪🏼

I’m in the same boat! I have so much mum guilt for putting my toddler in front of the tv but morning sickness is killing me, not to mention the sensitivity to smells is making me gag/throw up every time I change her nappy 😰

@Monae thanks it’s just so hard. I feel like I’m running on fumes, and my baby wakes up every 2 hrs EVERY night so I can’t even recharge 😔

@Anneliese I understand completely 😢 I hope and pray it gets better ! I can barely get out of bed don’t have the energy to really clean or do much esp when in pain ugh . I feeel like a sick patient on bed rest it sucks !

@Monda oh gosh I know 😅I keep gagging every time I put something in the bin and I can’t even open the fridge! I hate this stage in pregnancy, in fact I hate being pregnant 😂

@Monae I know it really is awful, I know I’m not the only one but it feels like your alone and isolated when everyone around you feels normal 😂 hope you feel better soon

@Anneliese yesss omggg for real you too 💜 we’ll get through it this is just a stage !

@Anneliese omg the bin and the fridge are the worst!! I had this with my first pregnancy and I was sick all throughout so God knows how much harder it’ll be this time while also looking after a toddler. I’ll pray for us ! Hahaha 🥲😭

I feel ya!! I have a 2 year old and just exhausted trying to do meals and keep the house semi clean and entertain him. Every time I get up I get the spins! I feel so crappy about sitting around but really cant deal with doing much more. 😴😳

@Monae yes we will! I miss enjoying food and cooking 😂

Omg same! I feel just so awful - getting out of bed is hard, smells make me gag/wretch. I’m sticking on so much tv and I know it’s not good for my 2 year old but I can’t get through it otherwise. Feel like the worst mum but I’m hoping it’ll get a bit easier after the first trimester. I want to eat something more than crisps and buttered toast
