Trying so hard ?
I’m trying so hard to enjoy this pregnancy and I just can’t. I was ttc this baby but I’m so miserable!!! I’m sick constantly and now my husband is working away longer (16days away) and I just can’t handle it. I have a 5yr old and a 2 yr old and I’m a SAHM and they need my attention constantly and I just can’t do it !! I just want to scream and cry because no one understands how hard this is! The other day, I had to go to the hospital to get fluids and there I go, with my kids sitting there. I don’t know what to do anymore ?
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 !
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?
Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...

I learned it’s ok not to be ok thanks to @leonardsquared, I’m going to try remembering that whenever I feel like I’m failing as a mom because I can’t do the things I used to do.....I’m just sick of feeling sick 😔

Me and my princess first time getting epidural and I’m numb from legs is this normal i can’t walk good yet
I can’t keep it to myself anymore & I have no one to talk to about it except you guys so I’m unloading it here.. but I just made my appointment to start the process to be checked for bladder cancer. & im obviously horrified. For as long as I’ve had my problems, if it’s been cancer the whole time then I fear the absolute worst which is that it’s untreatable now. I can’t leave my babies. I can not do that. They need me. & even without it being worst case scenario, I’m terrified just to hear those ...
I have SEVERE anxiety and can’t handle being home alone. My SO left over an hour ago to “help” his fire department with some flood stuff going on. I asked if he was going to be a while, he said probably. I told him i was going to see if my friend could come pick me up and now he’s pissed because I can’t stay here by myself. I’m trying so hard to but knowing that it’s going to be hours before anyone is here with me, I honestly feel like I can’t breathe. I really just wish he would understand that...
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!
