Aa
I can't take all this pain I've had the last 2 days plus my 14month old and 2 dogs that won't listen what do I do?
I tell them all not to share and usually they listen but for some reason the last 3 days they act like anything I say doesn't matter and I usually am the one they listen to but they act as if I'm not here lately and my daughter is just being grouchy ang clingy cause she's sick she has the runs I'm sure it's making her belly cramp and she's been running fever but it's just a virus and so I can't do anything but give her Pedialyte thing that help ease diarrhea and Tylenol I have an ob appointment Monday so I'm going to tell him I've been contracting and I keep getting sick I'm worried that I have my daughters virus and that I'm dehydrated and that might be causing the contractions
Oh of course, pregnancy and motherhood are exhausting!
I have horrible insomnia, but taking unisom and listening to white noise like ocean waves helps me

Oh wow. I had sciatic nerve pain, that's hard to treat. Just kind of have to wait it out unfortunately. Sometimes it feels a little better when the baby changes position.
I have no experience with seizures, but i get frequent migraines that make my nausea worse and make me throw up. So i can sympathize with headaches. Aleve helps me with that. Also, getting enough sleep.
As for the doggies, they don't know when it's a good or bad time to share food. You might have tell your little one not to feed the puppies anymore. You'll have to break the habit for the dogs too, by saying firmly "no" or "shame" in a lower pitched voice. Don't use the dogs name or they will associate their name with punishment. You can also do things that scare them but don't hurt them. Spray them with water, or roll up a news paper and spat them on the behind. I know it's hard at first. It's so easy to spoil dogs, but they have to learn a few manners too.
Just gently teach them, and make sure they have their own dog food to go to. Dogs are very forgiving.
and like i said, If you don't have the patience, just put them out in the yard.
My husband works night shifts and is asleep most of the day, so i understand feeling alone.
If your little one won't leave you alone, give them a quick bath, lay them in bed and read or song to them. I find this relaxes as as my little one.
Hope i don't sound bossy, i just want to help. Just suffering things that help me.
Oh, If you get a chance you could also put some Epsom salts in a warm bath. Sometimes that helped my muscle pain.

Also I'm over tired can't sleep and I only have 17 days left but I'm so exhausted thank you for writing back and the kind words
I've been having contractions along with Sciatica and I have headaches from my seizures and I'm mostly angry at my dogs for knocking my baby over and eating her food off her tray even tho she try's to share with them they know better and my fiancé is at work till 1am
Pain from a current pregnancy? Abdominal, baby could be in danger pain, or something like sciatic nerve pain from being super prego? Need more specific info.
Just sounds like you are over taxed. I'm not sure what your family/living environment is like, but if you have someone there with you, or someone that can come over, tell them you really need a little break.
Dogs are great companions, but some times they are kind of stupid lol. If you're really frustrated at them for not listening you're probably just really tired. Put them outside or in their kennel so you can have a break.
If there's no one around to help, just pray that you will have the energy to take care of everything until things settle down for the night, and ask for help to remember how dear your little one is and how much they need you. Sometimes that's all i can do to get through the day.
Once the house is settled for the night, (as as the pains you're experiencing aren't ones that are dangerous for an unborn baby), take a warm bath with lavender. Listen to calm music. Watch something funny. Read. Kiss your sweet little baby goodnight and try to get some rest. Take Aleve or Tylenol for pain and if you have trouble sleeping, Take half of a unisom.
hang on there mama! Your job is so important!
