to want to pack my bags and take a break from it all?

[germl]

I know I am BU - 12 weeks pregnant, hips hurt, stupid fibromyalgia flare up with my shoulders/neck/whole body in pain, can't be bothered/hurts too much to move or shower, DS 1.9 who is super active and is talking all the time which is usually adorable but today has me sobbing as it is too much to take in and I still have about 3 hours until my mum comes in to help me.

I sound like a really whiney cow, I know, but I really want to just take a break with no noise, no demands, nothing - just to take a bit of time until it stops hurting! I feel so pathetic...actually I am a bit pathetic today and I just don't know how to do it anymore

Please tell me this is normal!

I felt the same pregnant last summer! even if DD1 was 4.5 so much more manageable but talking all the time too
I feel like a break right now too...

can you have a nap at the same time as your toddler?

yes very normal. when your mum turns up go and get your nails done or anything. make a themos of coffee and go and sit somewhere. will your mum take ds out? if so why not let her take him out and go to bed or watch a crappy film.

I want to run away ALL THE TIME!
DD is 2.2 and I am 20wks pg and being slowly poisoned by the toxic hormonal cocktail my body is producing. Your reaction is totally normal IMO, it's awful and I feel completely trapped and unhappy just like you sound.

Give DS to your mum as soon as you can, go outside, get a trashy magazine and read it over a coffee and some cake, then go to the pictures and watch the worst romcom you can find.

There is a reason why I delegate the childcare and work fulltime

YANBU, like others have said, take the opportunity when your mum arrives to do what you fancy.

My DS is having a nap now, I have been just sitting here, trying to relax as I have tensed up where it hurts. I can take some more paracetamol soon so that'll take the edge off hopefully.

My mum will probably help me in the bath as I can't really raise my arms above me head due to the pain, so that'll make me feel a bit more human and then send me to lie down and she'll see to DS (doubt she'll want to wander around outside as it's miserable here and she's been at work rushing around since 8am). Oh crap, DM will also have to start dinner - honestly it is so embarrassing not to be able to do the most basic things like cook my DH and DS a meal!

Thankyou for the replies
