I'm 30 weeks pregnant - and feel like I'm struggling.
I can't get into gear with work - lose literally hours and hours internet surfing, when I know I have deadlines.
I'm becoming a bit agaraphoic. I'm avoiding going out as much as I can unless DH is with me & driving - to the point of dreading the school run. I often wfh - but when I go into the office, I feel so heavy on my feet and sore in my pelvis that I won't so much as pop into TESCO to get a loaf of bread on my way home - just 100% focus on getting home.
Get tired in meetings - like even sitting in a chair makes me light headed. Cry for literally no reason - in the sense that I'll be sitting doing something random and feel that it's wet under my eyes. Can't figure out what to eat - feel like I'm swinging between eating too much and bloating and not eating enough and getting weak.
I'm short with DC - and feeling overwhelmed with things like juggling their doctor appointments and sports kit and driving the, places.
Scary vivid dreams and having to take night-time toilet breaks probably explain why my mornings feel hard work.
I'd call it tiredness - but it doesn't really get better with rest. I'd call it depression - but I'm not objectively 'sad'. It's really getting me down, and I need to get over it.
I suspect I've been making it worse by 'fighting it' - and in many ways it's bloody obvious that growing a baby is hard work - but in another way, I have commitments and responsibilities - and I can't just go into hibernation for the next 3 months plus whatever other time I need when baby is here. I'm taking my vitamins and trying to be sensible, but Arghhh!
