Have you ever had intrusive thoughts about harming your baby

I would never ever hurt my baby and the thoughts make me feel like the worst person ... Googled them and apparently it's really common just embarrassing so noone talks about it. Sleep deprivation makes them come on for me

Anyone else struggling with sleep?

I keep waking up at 3am for a wee then I cannot sleep again until 6-7am! Even then I don’t sleep for long! I’m back to work next week and going to really struggle as I get up at 6:30am to get ready. Don’t really think there’s advice to be given, just wanted to vent and know it’s not just me ! I’m 32w tomorrow.

Nausea!

I am 6 weeks pregnant and so nauseous it’s really hard to manage, I’m not physically sick and it eases with food little and often but I can’t get to the point where I can actually make food!

For the teacher/moms: Am I the only one that feels this way?

I feel so guilty because I get home exhausted from my day and I feel like my child only has crumbs of myself. I've tried to spend less energy at work and conserve for at home, but I can't find a balance. I'm always exhausted when I get home. I feel so guilty :(
