upset rant

Hormones, yes i know but still i wanna cry, had my cerclage done Tuesday (4days ago) Dr told me to take it easy n I've been trying to, im on minor bedrest, and i live with my grandparents, but thing is, is that i have a hard time trying to cook my own meals without getting light headed or exhausted after 5-10min n neither one of my grandparents will cook for me n i just wanna cry cuz i have no help with fixing anything, if i can't cook or have any help then my baby doesn't get to eat n it bothers me, i just tried to make a bacon n egg sandwich n i already feel like i wanna pass out n they just sat there n starred at me...

I know this sounds crazy but I cooked with a chair. It helped with dizziness. I also had bottled water and drank every time i had a break.

I think the advice above is great... Eat a few crackers or drink a glass of milk to help settle your stomach and give you some substance. Wait a few minutes and try cooking then. Sitting while you cook is awesome to, it takes a few minutes for bacon or eggs to cook so while waiting to turn them just sit and rest for a few minutes :) good luck

Why don't you eat something tiny first that doesn't have to be prepared... Drink a glass of water, and then make yourself a real meal after like 15 minutes... Also, grab a chair and sit as you make it... How far along are you? I understand what it's like to not have somebody there to help, my husband works overtime everyday and I never see him unless I wake up in the middle of the night to pee, and I have to feed myself and my one year old, but there's no sense in getting upset, because people won't help...No offense but your grandparents didn't get you pregnant... I'm also supposed to be on bedrest, but it's unrealistic that I lay or sit down all day... There's just no way... Don't stress on it though, that can only make things worse.
