Exhaustion
Do you single moms feel like you live in a constant state of exhaustion? I don’t know if something is actually wrong with me or if it’s normal to feel this exhausted all the time as a single mom of 3. I work full time as well. I feel it extra heavy currently on my period. My mood and exhaustion get horrible around that time of month. The crazy part is I prioritize my sleep and still feel like I can barely keep myself going.

I find things hard with one toddler nvm 3 kids lovely, take it easier on yourself. You’re doing a lot raising 3 kids and working full time. You need to give yourself a break when you can. Things are so much harder in general around the time of the month. Does kid’s dad have them sometimes ?
This is me in a nutshell I have chronic health conditions and struggle with low energy constantly it’s very hard I’m so sad today especially because I hate that even though I’m young I have the energy of an old woman and I’m a single parent

Is my daughters name to unique?
I had my daughter a 8 months ago, I told my husband that always had a baby girl named picked out since I was about 13 years old. And he was OK with it. He just changed the spelling which I’m not a huge fan but I still love her name.
Her first name is Sunni middle name Ella Rae. I don’t really love the Ella part or how Sunni is spelled I think it should be spelled as Sunnie so it makes more sense. A few people have commented on it, aka my mother-in-law to be specific. Did I choose a real name for my daughter?

Should I be worried?
I got into a car accident two days ago. I got abdominal pain couple hours after, so I went to the hospital, they checked me over and said everything seemed fine. I’ve had no bleeding and no pain since. However I have no pregnancy symptoms anymore. I’m 12 weeks and have another scan booked in for tomorrow. Am I over thinking this or can this be normal for how far along I am now ??!

Induction
Hey, I am being induced closer to my due date and the consultant has mentioned using the balloon for induction. I had a pessary when induced with my second.
Anyone had both methods and can tell me how different those labours were or wasn’t? 🩷

50/50 Co parenting a newborn
Is it a good idea for a baby to move home every 3/4 days to co parent?
I want to breast feed which I wouldn’t be able to if we do 50/50 and I feel that’s unfair to both me and the baby I’m pregnant with.
Is it ever a good idea to 50/50 share a newborn baby? Am I wrong to say no?
I won’t get into baby daddy situation but he’s awful. Regardless of that is it ever a good idea for a newborn to bounce between homes so often? I would be ok with the idea from when the baby is 12 months but immediately after birth I think is a crazy ask from the dad.

Anyone else feel guilty for resting?
I’m 33 weeks tomorrow and I feel bad that some days I just want to be left alone and veg on the sofa! Does anyone else feel the same way? My boyfriend is super active and never sits down. When he makes a joke that I’m sitting around, I just get emotional about it. I just cry! 😅 And then I feel stupid for crying! It’s like a continuous cycle. But when I am on my feet all day, I get horrid pelvic pain, leg and bum pain. I just try to make myself move! I’m just finding it difficult to be kind to myself. Some days are worse than others I suppose.
