just had enough :(
Feel like I'm always shouting at DH and DD over the smallest of things and can't ever sit still or relax. If there's one crumb on the carpet I have to Hoover the whole house I am constantly doing the cleaning, cooking and keep staring at the ironing pile which has grown about a foot this afternoon. I feel so guilty when I get cross at DD she is currently 4 and when I get mardy with her she gets mardy then DH gets upset that were all arguing. I feel like crying how am I going to be with 2? It gets me really upset to think I get this wound up over the smallest of things with one let alone 2. to top it off I have IU and getting the worse BH ever, can't sleep and m slowly loosing my appetite :'(
Please an someone suggest something for me or I think I will explode

Poor you - it sounds like you're having such a rough time of it.

I don't know how possible it is, but just try to remember that the odd crumb here and there will make no difference, and you might as well hoover the whole house once a fortnight than every day! And you know, it's all about the hormones, which will ease off (they are so powerful - I'm crying at nothing at the moment).

I do sympathise with the lack of sleep, it makes things ten times worse. Are you at home on mat leave? Can you get DH to take DD out for a play in the park while you have a bit of chill time, maybe just a lie down would help?

Apparently there are anti-histamines you can take in pregnancy that help you to sleep. Worth asking your GP about these?

How are you feeling this morning? Any improvement?

aww, I do sympathise. If it's any consolation I've had terrible hormones in each of my pregnancies (I'm on my fourth). Sounds like hormones, mixed with tiredness and worry over how you'll cope with 2 children. Hopefully you'll find you calm down a bit after the birth. The only thing I could suggest is see if your DH will take your child out for a bit do you could just relax a bit. Rest might help a bit. Accept your limitations and theres nothing wrong with having a good cry if you need to.
