Feeling low and frustrated today

[Mistyautumn]

Sorry just need to vent. I know it is just hormones but I am finding maternity leave really tough. I want to sort stuff around the house but don't have the energy or capacity too. My DH doesn't do the things he says he will do and I am fed up of being stuck in the house with no routine.

Now having spent an hour crying on the phone to my mum she is coming down to rescue me for a few days. And now am feeling increadibly guilty as it means a long drive for her!!!

Sorry, I know it is the preggie hormones making me feel so low but just needed to rant. X

I'm sure your mum is only delighted to come and help you and the company will be lovely for both of you

I felt like this 2 weeks ago. Everything in the house broke and my husband works long hours in London and I just couldn't function to sort it all out. My mam and dad drove 300 miles (they were planning to anyway, but maybe not to build furniture and fix things!) and all 3 of them looked after me. There always seems to be something else to do though. I'm now in a totally different state at 39 weeks, got a lot more energy and I make sure I have a task I want to do every day, and that I pop to the shops every day etc to give some routine. It's tough but it's a really short time before everything goes mad and baby is here. I've enjoyed Mat Leave on the whole. Glad I took the extra time (2 weeks leave then left at 36 weeks) because I've felt a lot better physically not working.
