Wow here I am complaining sitting at home with no job, just house work! I dont know how you ladies can do it by being single, and pregnant! I take everything I said back lol. I'm proud of you ladies, honestly!
I feel for all of you moms with kids already, I don't know how you guys handle it, just another example of how mothers are super-awesome I guess. I only have a dog, and she's been at my parents for the past six weeks, even she was difficult. Going to stop working for medical reasons on Monday, I think that will help. My job is pretty work-intensive and stressful and it requires me to think and problem-solve, so some days it definitely seems beyond me.
Yes!! I'm in the fatigue club too!! I have so much I need to get done b4 baby comes, but most days the energy just isn't there! I have three girls at home to care for and most of the energy goes towards that!! Laundry, meals, cleaning their messes, etc!!! It's hard!! I'm praying for my nesting burst of energy to come soon and stay awhile!! =)
Same!! 30 Weeks today. I clean one thing or do something for 5 mins and then have to sit down. My feet are sooo painful, I cant even describe. Im on them 9 hours day at work. Each day is getting harder and harder.
I am 30w6d and I work full time some weeks I even work overtime it's mostly 2nds with a few 3rds here and there but then I have doctors appointments and anything else I have to do and one of my very best girlfriends I've known for 10 years lives next door and has recently become a single parent so I watch her kids during the day sometimes too and I just feel like death. My feet and back hurt I get awful braxton hicks I feel like I am about to collapse from exhaustion like every minute of every day. I cannot wait to be done being pregnant!!
I'm single and pregnancy is definitely challenging when the fatigue hits. I try to do things in spurts...and sometimes things just don't get done. I guess one of the benefits of being single and pregnant is that nobody's there to complain. :)
Sat down on one of those bag turnstiles at walmart in the first trimester; the line was long and I just couldn't hang lol. I've learned to shop in smaller stores, and to sit as much as I can. Can't wait til this kid is out and I can go back to being my regular energizer bunny self.
Lol I'm only 13.5 weeks and have felt that way since 6 wks. I have my good days where I can get the downstairs cleaned, but most of the time I can barely get up. I feel bad my bf works 9 hrs a day then comes home to clean every day, but I just can't help it. I'll get light headed and sick to my stomach. I just try to pick up a few things as I go to the bathroom then a few more as I head back to where I was. When he gets home, he doesn't have nearly as much to clean and puts the laundry on the couch so I can sit and fold and he takes it upstairs for me. He seems to appreciate me making an effort but I can still sense he feels I should get it all done with him working so much so I still feel bad, but at 34wks, you have much better reason to just want to relax so do what you can and don't feel bad if you can't get it all done
AMEN!! Today my shins were killing me...i was life WTF is this as if pregnancy doesnt cause enough aches and pains?? I felt like i had classic shin splints from sports...grrrr
