I currently have a 7 month old baby. during the pregnancy I had Hyperemesis Gravidarum throughout and had to leave a job that I loved because I needed caring for. I have since quit another job because I have had 'postnatal illness' that my GP won't elaborate on or treat. I have been so tired and I've just been told that it's all down to anaemia (apparently my iron levels were supposed to be 50 but they are currently 13). I've started having the most horrible back pain that immobilizes me for a lot of the time.
All I want to do is go back to work and be a good role model for my daughter but my family are making out that I'm over exadurating and just winging. They don't see how upsetting it is. I decided to have a daughter a little younger then my dad wanted because I wanted to be fit and healthy and to be able to go to work then come home and be a fun mum with my little girl.
It all just feels so overwhelming atm. AIBU or do I just need a slap... everyone else seems to just walk pregnancy and childbirth off and I genuinely feel like mine has been a particularly bad one.
