Feeling down

[choeyoojin]

I feel like my body has been letting me down. Before I got pregnant I could easily work 24 hrs in under 36hrs. I am used to work long shifts on my feet and heavy lifting as a nurse's aid. I am a hard worker. Unfortunately, I am starting to feel exhausted and like my body got hit by a bus. I don't like the idea of being on work restrictions but Idk how much more my body can take. I am 23 weeks and I feel like I am letting myself down. I totally understand that the added stress of long work days can effect the baby but it's hard to let go of always working. Anyone else feeling similar?

I have a very physical job and I hate asking for any kind of help but I also hate not being able to play with my son or pick him up without being in almost tears because my back hips n legs hurt so much in addition to the more fitful sleep. It's not that our bodies are letting us down it's got more important things to work on.

I'm not as far along as you, but I am definitely extremely fatigued. I'm finishing my last semester of university, and I work between classes. At the end of the day, I can hardly keep my eyes open, and I'm finding it really hard to study and write my papers. I'm not even very physically active right now, but mentally I'm finding my limits are closing in. I want to do well this semester and keep my grades up, and I'm frustrated with myself, because it was supposed to be a relatively easy semester.
