Struggling with toddler + pregnant

Please tell me I’m not the only one 😩
I have an EXTREMELY energetic 2 year old and am early pregnant and it’s A LOT!
I’m finding myself exhausted and struggling every day. I’m very high risk pregnancy which is causing me massive anxiety in itself.
I’m flinching every time my toddler goes to jump on me, as he does a lot, I’m nauseous all day and night and have no appetite so don’t eat much. My patience is lower than usual due to hormones. Everything feels like a massive struggle right now! Anyone else?

I feel for you. Ask for help once in a while. It's hard. I have an energy kids since birth. Shes 3 now. Communication becomes easier. But it's been wild. Being pregnant is even more to deal with. Organize toys indifferent places of the house for her to be more interested in her things. Change them around. Take care of yourself.

Urghh I’m so angry

I’ve woken up early to take this test in secret and I was so excited. I’ve been all sneaky tip toeing around the house. The egg timer appeared so I flipped it over because I didn’t want to just sit there staring at it while it developed. I turn it over and it’s a blank screen 😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩 I literally have zero other tests in the house.

Limited movements - anterior placenta

I’m 23 weeks on Monday and I still haven’t felt a kick. I wasn’t panicking because I have an anterior placement but now I’m getting closer to 24 weeks I’m starting to worry a little ☹️ has anyone else had the same? I thought I felt some flutters but I’m not sure, probably just wind! I guess I wait until 24 weeks and then contact the midwife?

I am struggling with having zero appetite on the days where I go without consuming thc 🥲😭

It’s annoying. I’m pregnant and very mentally willing to drop consumption but when I stick to not consuming thc, I barely consume any food at all. 😭
idk what to do.

I feel like I’m trying so hard, and failing to consume enough food & nutrients for my baby.
