Utter exhaustion - just me?

Is it just me or is anyone else utterly exhausted? I work 30 hours (4 days a week) and have twins who are almost 3. I have them on my own 1 day a week, 2 days per week with my partner then I work the other 4 and I am shattered. I barely keep on top of the housework and I'm running behind in basically everything. On my days off, if I don't have a nap then I stiggle to get through the day. Surely this isn't just me? How is everyone else managing to get through the day? When I see other mums going on days out with their children I genuinely don't understand how they have the energy to get through it.

I have regular b12 injections for deficiency and also take iron supplements for deficiency. I don't think they make much difference but dread to think how I'd be without them!

Ill and pregnant

Anyone have any idea what this could be please? I’m 20 weeks pregnant and after breakfast was really badly sick. I put this down to morning sickness as I’ve been sick on/off and felt sick from 4 weeks. Have come into work and I feel absolutely dreadful😫 I still feel sick, dizzy when I stand and walk, eyes feel really sore when I move them and I’m pretty sure I’ve got a temp as I feel cold and shivery but my body’s warm to touch. Trying my best to persevere through the day as I feel like I’ve had more time off than in for one reason or another or for childcare. All I want to do is go home and sleep😔

Baby gender

Hi! Yesterday we went for a private scan to find out the gender of the baby! I was convinced it was a boy. Turns out we are having a little girl! It felt so surreal to see baby again and know the gender. Heart rate was 157bpm. I genuinely can't wait to meet her 🩷🩷🩷🩷

So tired and struggling

Is anyone else sick of being the one getting up early and sorting everything out, I work full time I have a 19 month old and a 3 year old. 3 year old currently keeps coming into our bed which is exhausting. I’m getting up at 4:30-5 every morning to get things sorted for the day kids nursery bags washing etc. my partner works from home but he doesn’t get out of bed until 6:30 I’m just so so tired

Anxiety after scan

Hello everyone, I went for a scan yesterday and she was measuring a couple of days behind the date I’ve been told in the past. They said it can happen and I don’t have to worry, but I am worrying . What if she’s not growing well anymore?☹️ did it happen to any of you? X

Baby’s movements

So I know my baby’s movements pretty well. However every now and then she has a day or a couple hours where she moves like crazy and really hard. Does anybody else’s baby do this?
