Feeling down and very lazy

[Rachiesparrow]

I'm 37 +3 weeks pregnant, and am feeling utterly useless at the moment.

It's really starting to get me down. Everyone keeps telling me I should give myself a break and not feel bad about doing nothing all day but it just feels a bit wrong.

On the other hand, I'm so tired that I don't have the energy to do anything. I'm stuck in this cycle of feeling tired, relaxing, feeling bad for not doing anything, trying to do stuff, feeling tired etc...

Is anyone else feeling wretchedly pointless right now? I'm getting more and more upset about it.

help....

Its that time of year. Is dark in mornings and evenings. Weather has been pretty cold and vile, so motivation to go out is less so than if it was lovely, warm and sunny.

I am 32+3 and pretty tired. On Tues I didnt get out of my jim jams all day. But I dont feel useless - far from it, I see these final weeks as a chance to get all the rest in that I can. And you are far from useless, you are cooking your bub!

I dont know if this will help - but I have started to plan a few things (despite the tiredness) so I have something to look forward to each week. It also helps that I love Christmas, so come early Dec have my house decorating project to keep me occupied.

Oh i could have written that post myself. I so know how you feel. Im getting more and more annoyed with myself because there are always things that need doing and i have no energy to do it. I tend to take advantage on the odd days i feel a bit moe energetic like today, i have done loads of de-cluttering and cleaning. Now i am good for nothing and slumped back on the sofa pots need washing, DD needs bathing list is endless.

I feel like a huge fat lazy moo! but at the end of the day we are busy baking beautiful babies so its not so bad really

Im 34+2 and am a useless non entity of a mummy to my 2 and a half yr old at the moment! .

Im hiding in office on MN while he is staring at C beebies in living room. Poor wee man, ive been like this for 2 weeks now. Coupled with the fact im avoiding busy play groups and places we usually go to because of swine flu fears I feel so sorry for him.

I am K N A C K E R E D though. Im counting the days until DH off for xmas! x

Phew! Feel a bit less alone now. Thanks!

It's just really hard to sit back when there's so much to be done... Urgh!

MOre positively i have got the christmas decs out, wrapped presents and started christmas crds. but am still sat watching loose women looking forward to dd and dp coming home from work and school!!!
