Tomorrow I shall be reaching week 19 of my pregnancy. I’m still feeling excited and hopeful that the morning sickness may fade away as the weeks roll on. For now however I’m still throwing up most days although I did have a miraculous deceptive week at 15 weeks of 8 days without vomiting, I felt like the second trimester was the best thing in the world. I’m growing used to feeling poorly but the tiredness that has hit me within the last two weeks is completely dehabilitating.
I am currently undertaking a degree but also work as a freelancer making headpieces and costumes. I have two fittings this week and feel like I literally can’t get the work done in time, with one lady I’ve already cancelled before as I couldn’t get out the door for throwing up and I am currently feeling pretty anxious about upcoming deadlines. All the commissions were fixed from before finding out about the pregnancy but I won’t be taking on anything new until the end of may at least. Has anyone else had experience working freelance and found good solutions to keeping motivated and keeping at bay the stress?
