First trimester is so hard anyway! You’re sick and exhausted and worried something won’t go right. Plus all the hormones! My husband is around but i work full time and in grad school at night, with 2 toddlers. Went to my dermatologist today and there was a questionnaire about alcohol intake - how many nights have you had 4 or more alcoholic beverages this year? I’m like f this question that’s just mean. I’d love 4 glasses of wine tonight. This is hard work! The nurse laughed when i said that!

Thanks for the encouraging words, ladies. My only support system is my mom and my father in law at the moment and they’re both super busy. My FIL just had surgery and is also taking care of my preemie nephew. My mom, takes care of my grandmother who really takes up all my moms time. She wants to help but my grandma makes it very hard for her to come and help me out. My grandma said I should’ve known what I got myself into when I got pregnant :( it was sooooo mean to hear but I keep telling myself that she’s old and she doesn’t know what she’s talking about lol

My son is in kinder and that does help a lot.

I just got on diclegis and that doesn’t seem to help too much. I just hope this 1st trimester goes by faster !

Totally understand. My husband is stationed overseas and just got extended for the 2nd time. It's hard doing it all on your own.

I totally understand what your feeling like. I'm in the same boat, my husband is deployed. I feel guilty for not enjoying this pregnancy but with my two year old, by the end of the day I'm exhausted. I hope this pregnancy gets better for you though!

Are you close to family??!! You need a support system, girl! Close friends, people from church? Is your 5yo in kindergarten this year? Is there any way to drop the 2yo at a daycare one or two days a week? Besides feeling rotten, it sounds like you need some breaks for yourself. I feel for you and hate that you're having to deal with this situation right now. And are you taking anything for nausea?
