8 months pregnant. 3 year old unwell and I’m struggling

[Chunk9]

I’m 8 months pregnant. My 3 year old has a cough and cold and has not slept for 3 nights. He is so clingy and whingy. Im really struggling to keep my shit together. He’s driving me mad. I understand he feels poorly and wants me, but it’s literally incessant- I’ve got a bogie, I need my juice, I want a cuddle. On a cycle. I know- I’m his mom it’s my job. Im just so tired and hormones are just not helping. Im having a meltdown and just want to run away!!!!!! But I can’t! All my husband keeps saying is- we’ll have 2 soon. Very helpful! Obviously I won’t be 8 months pregnant dealing with it again: I’m bracing myself for another sleepless night. Someone inspire me- snap me out of this!!!!

Oh god. I was in your position a few months ago, it was awful! I had severe pelvic pain, nausea and was breathless and faint constantly. Looking after a 3 year old is such hard work. What can he do for himself? Can he sleep in your bed or better still sleep with your husband in his bed and let you get some rest alone? Calpol and junk food, lots of tv. Do the bare minimum. It is so so so much easier when the baby arrives. Mines 10 weeks old now and I’m loving life. It does get easier! Just a matter of riding out the next few (long) weeks!!!

I’ve slept in his bed with him
The last 3 nights and it’s none stop all night- juice, cuddle, snot. I lie on my left to cuddle him, then it’s hurting me lying that way, so I roll onto my right and he throws a wobbly because I’m not cuddling him. Low point was when he puked over me and his bed Monday night. I feel bad, I work part time, husband works long days, don’t feel it’s
Fair for him to deal with it then have to drive. So I try and do it all. But I’m
Feeling on the edge today. I’m seeing a couple of friends
Tonight, can’t wait to get out the house. I shut myself in the bathroom
For a cry earlier but he wouldn’t even let me do that, sat outside banging the door. Glad I’m not alone. I’ve never felt like this before!
