Sorry but need to moan

Urgh... I'm 8 weeks pregnant, exhausted, sick, fed up, have 3.5 year old DS, and DH is about to leave to go and work away for the week. I just want to cry. Or stop him going! But I can't... he works away loads, usually it's fine, but I am so sick and tired I just don't want to face a week without him. No family around and most people don't know I'm pregnant so not really any help around. My parents would usually come but they are on hol this week and in laws live 6 hours away and aren't really available. I'm sure I'll survive but can't really moan in real life and need to!

Have you got a close friend who you could tell so they can help you a little? Maybe come over one evening and help look after your DS so you can have an early night or at least a bit of a breather?

Three friends do know but they all have 2-4 of their own DS so can't really ask them to help when I'd need, and the only ones that I would want to tell / would be useful that don't have kids don't get back from work until after I'd be doing bedtime anyway annoyingly! 4 days I'm working and he's in nursery. I'm ok in mornings so just ha e to do tea, bath and bedtime, but last few days I've been throwing up whilst husband had been putting him to bed. I ended up in a&e on night a few months ago so DS gets a bit worried if I'm ill so need to try and power through then just collapse into bed as soon as he's down I think.
