Overwhelmed

Does anyone else get overwhelmed to tears at the thought of having a normal amount of things to do in a day? I'm 28 weeks and in excruciating pain most days because of really severe sciatica, a slipped disk and cysts on my right ovary. I've been working from home which has been really nice because I get to sit with a heating pad for most of the day which controls a bit of my pain. On days I don't work tho, I use the time to do things around the house. I literally am sitting in a chair crying right now because the idea of doing laundry sounds like the most miserable task. What is wrong with me??

You are definitely not alone, I work on my feet 5 days a week with severe pubic symphysis and sciatica. Most days I wanna cry, my to-do list just keeps getting longer and longer and my partner is drowning in their own job/trying to keep up at home. Right now, our job is to just get through each day. One at time. That is a win in my book. ✨✨✨

I’m right with you ! Yesterday was so hard for me I caught myself crying a few times at my desk . The overwhelming amount of things that’s have to get done in such a short amount of time is absolutely insane to me . But If there’s one thing I know is that we will get it done no matter how long it takes or how hard it is ! You got this ❤️

Ugh it feels better knowing I'm not alone. Crying reading these. Yall are amazing 😭 we r going to get through this

I gave up doing the laundry. The machines are not designed for pregnant bodies. I’m learning to ask for help and it’s now on my husband’s plate.

This is me everyday. Then I cry more because I can't pull my weight in chores. My husband has been a godsend and takes care of almost everything while I do what I can.

yes!! This is how I feel and then so guilty because he's working a full time job on top of everything ugh...

Just want to sleep again! 🫩

I wake up around 8.30am, have some cereal, meditate/pray for a bit, make a cuppa and then by 10am I’m tired again and could easily nap. My iron levels have been checked and were fine. Is it just me or is anyone else feeling like this? I’m currently 35 weeks pregnant 👀

Possible blood clot on the lung /VQ scan

Has anyone had a VQ scan for possible blood clots. As I need to have to have one and concerned due to the radiation and possible risk of baby having childhood cancer.

Baby girl names

Love pretty shorter names such as Millie, Gracie, Lottie. My husband only likes Millie and I’m struggling to find anything else he likes! However I’m not 100% on Millie.

Love Lilly, Maisie, Isabelle, Tilly but sadly can’t use these sadly.

We have a little boy called Oliver (Ollie).

Middle name will be Rae.

Any ideas?🙈

Review at 36 weeks

Has anyone had An anesthesia review at 36 weeks?
What is this for as I never had this with my first?
I am being scanned every 3 weeks as my first was small and now my second is measuring small.

Anyone else still feeling really good

If I hadn’t of had a scan I wouldn’t believe I was pregnant. I was tired with sore boobs and this is still the case but no where near as much. I feel so good. I am incredibly bloated though but I can deal with that. My first pregnancy I suffered with dizziness really bad so this is a pleasant change.

Princess birthday party

My child will be turning 5 over the summer and they’ve asked for a princess party but keep changing their mind on which princess they’d like to most their party so have said I can choose 🙈 which princess would your child have chosen at a similar age or if you’ve been to a few princess parties which one was best?
