Feeling so tired & struggling

Any mums of toddlers out there just struggling so much already? The whole house is ill this week, my husband is travelling for work, my sickness is horrific (I’m on tablets but they are limited use), and running after a 1.5 year old has me feeling like I’m ready to collapse. I feel like I can’t really say anything to family as they are super supportive but there’s also a bit of “you chose this” which we very much did but I’m just struggling so much this week. I had a cry walking down the road earlier. Is anyone else struggling?

Yes, I am there with you. I am 8 weeks pregnant and been feeling nauseous for a month now, some days I can’t even move from bed and working every day feels impossible. I have a 2.5 year old and finding it so hard to spend quality time with him whilst feeling this sick. I’m also super emotional, just feeling generally rubbish. You are not alone xx

I’m so sorry Sam, it is so so hard isnt it? Maybe I’m super naive but I really didn’t realise how hard it would be. The nausea and having a toddler is just awful!

No, I feel the same, didn’t realise it would be this tough. I could just curl up in bed and not move. Hopefully the nausea will ease in the second trimester 🙏 have you found any relief from the sickness? Xx

@Sam I’m 8 weeks too and this is exactly how I feel babe!! I totally understand this. You’re also not alone it’s really hard!!

Yeah I feel the same lovely and I'm 8 weeks. The last 2 weeks I was in bed, only just managed to get down in the last few days. Think my son has noticed with me not being around, the nausea really does make it hard. Like the girls above say you are deffo not alone xx

So so hard! Thanks everyone for your replies, it really helps to know we aren’t alone. Sending lots of solidarity!! I’m going to speak to the GP tomorrow, I’m on cyclizine but it’s just knocking me out and not having much of an effect on the nausea so I think I’ll ask to try something else.
