I’m 30w5 with my second DS and have one who is 4 and I’m starting to really panic. This pregnancy is so different to my last one which was straightforward- I’ve been sick throughout, exhausted and was in hospital last night for liver scans as blood tests showed high liver enzyme levels after I had itchy hands/feet. His kicks are so painful and he’s so big compared to my last DS. We wanted this second child so much and now it just feels so overwhelming, I’m not going to be able to cope. DH has been amazing throughout but I feel guilty that he’s working and for the last couple of weeks also had to pick up the slack because I’ve never been so tired in my life.
I have no large intestine so use the bathroom multiple times a night and never feel rested. How am I supposed to add a second baby in the mix? I see people doing so well and feel like such a failure. I won’t be able to cope with a newborn and this level of tiredness, I know I won’t..
Sorry for the ramble, I just wanted to get it down and hope it made me feel better.
