Oh folks, I'm really struggling this week. I'm sure its just hormones, but I feel so so angry all the time; I could just explode at the world. I'm 26 weeks into a fairly horrible pregnancy (hyperemsis) and I feel so depressed. I'm shattered from looking after my son over the summer holidays which probably isn't helping and everyone just keeps saying how lovely it is to see me out and about/eating/drinking (having spent the first 3 months in hospital and many weeks after that bed bound from hyperemesis). It is better than it was, but that doesn't mean I'm OK. I'm flipping exhausted. I feel intensely sick ALL the time and EVERYTHING is the most enormous effort. I am getting enough help but I'm just so tired, sad and flipping angry! My OH made a rather daft comment about me getting my body back after birth (compared me to my sister who's had three kids and lives/works in the gym and so has a fantastic body) and I am so upset about it. I know I'm being OTT but I feel so upset by what he said. I feel huge already (not helped by being told this repeatedly by everyone I meet), but nibbling things often helps with my relentless nausea and I am still struggling with food aversions so my choices feel limited. I also know I won't get much time to work out after the baby is born as my OH is disabled and can't care for the baby by himself so going for a swim or gym or whatever is impossible. I just don't appreciate the pressure right now; I don't even want to think about my body after the birth; just get through the pregnancy first. I told him it really upset me but he just shrugged it off. Urgh. I don't want to say anything to anyone in RL as we have waited a long time for this baby and I know we are very, very lucky. But hormones are relentless buggers aren't they and I'm struggling to even get through the day at the moment with how sad/frustrated I'm feeling. Just wondered if anyone else has felt the same and if there is a time when it passes or if I just need to try to pull myself together? I'm sorry to whinge. Thanks for reading if you've got this far.
