Currently 10.5 weeks pregnant and my house is an absolute mess, but I have no energy to do anything about it. Struggling to keep up with the basics like washing clothes, clearing dishes and keeping the bathroom in a reasonable state, let alone vacuuming or tidying. By the time I get home from work each night, I just about manage to eat something and crawl up the stairs to bed because I’m exhausted and feel sick as a dog most evenings. My husband is great and is trying his best to pick up my share of the housework with no complaints, but quite honestly it’s not his strong point and he takes a lifetime to do something that would ordinarily take me less than an hour. He is also working tons of overtime to bulk up our savings ready for baby to arrive so he’s out of the house a lot and is also feeling tired and stressed with work.
I’m really struggling with this as I am very house proud and it’s making me dread walking through my own front door.
AIBU to be feeling so tired that I’m unable to keep up with basic housework already, is this normal?? Or am I just being dramatic and becoming a bit ‘lazy’/unmotivated because I know that I’m pregnant.
