To be so tired!

[GeriatricMum2B]

I am 44 and found myself pregnant when it had been totally ruled out by medical professionals. I am 20 weeks gone now and just woken up from an afternoon nap. Again. I run my own business so had meetings this morning but then that after that, that was it. Off I popped.

DH is looking after DD downstairs as always and DD is extremely happy there will be a new baby so after we chatted for a bit, was very accepting that I needed to rest but I can’t help but feeling a bit ‘absent’ even though I just can’t help it... I am just so tired!!!

We are lucky enough that we will be paying for some help when the baby is born but if this is how I feel now, how on earth am I going to do all I need to do when the time comes. How can I get more energy so I don’t get like this? It feels like such self indulgent twaddle. But I am just so tired....

I could have written this post myself!

I don't know how I will do it all when baby is here. I don't even know if I want to try.

I'm 37 weeks, self employed, first baby, working up to delivery day, I can barely get through a day without a nap and then have insomnia all night.
Clients are difficult and then there's the fact that I need to arrange childcare for the new year to allow me to go back to work after a short break (cheers Covid!)

Sounds like your DD is so supportive, which is lovely! Not sure I have any advice but just want you to know I feel very similar
