Is that two faces, or Am I crazy?
First time Mommy!
I swear since I got this ultrasound a month ago, I swear I see another face next to the baby face, but my doctor says it’s only one baby. I was told she was a girl on that ultrasound but I just had one last Monday and it was definitely a boy, and my bloodwork also said it was a boy after I was told it was a girl, so I’m hoping to actually find out on Thursday at my Anatomy scan on which I’ll be 21 weeks exact.
Anyone have any thoughts on this, or am I just delulu.🤦🏽♀️
Pregnancy exhaustion - is this normal?
I'm just wondering if this level of exhaustion in pregnancy is normal and if so how other mums cope/coped.
No exaggeration I feel like I am literally dying and have even wondered if I have chronic fatigue or some awful terminal illness...or is this just pregnancy? I didn't feel this last pregnancy. I'm 31 weeks now but I have had awful fatigue consistently since the beginning (no 2nd trimester energy boost!). My iron etc levels are all good, I'm a healthy weight and I am otherwise in good health. But every little thing takes so much energy and I have barely anything left for my (just turned) 3 year old boy who is super chatty and hyperactive, and on the go all day from 5am without a nap. Playing and interacting with him all day every day is absolutely draining me, and that makes me feel so sad.
He starts nursery after the summer holidays, on the same week I'm due (!), and I have no family or friends to help with him. My husband is also struggling with exhaustion due to supporting us with his stressful job and doing the majority of housework as all I can manage right now is looking after our son and cooking the meals. My son goes to bed around 6pm which is great as it is early but I just crash once he's down and lie there feeling utterly empty and broken. No energy for much else other than doomscrolling or sitting in a stupor. No energy for pregnancy yoga or prepping hospital bag or whatever else I'm supposed to have done by this point. I've completely neglected myself.
Wondering how I will cope with 2 young kids and no support, plus another 3 years until we can have some form of childcare/school for both. I just wanted to know if anyone else feels like this.
