Third trimester stress making me sick

[Carlywalford94]

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and I can't stop being sick my partner broke his leg 3 days ago and my daughter has not been well I'm so drained physically and mentally. I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself as I'm now doing everything from school runs which is a 20 minuet walk, to the shopping plus appointments every few days with my breast scans and baby as I'm high risk. I really think stress is making me feel sick I'm being induced in 7 days. Will being sick and stress effect my baby? I'm really trying to not get stressed but could kick my partner's crutch everytime he asks me to do something. I sit and think I'm being a right cow and is it really right? I'm normally such a positive bubbly person but can't stop myself from wanting to just burst into tears or scream.

Oh bless you, what bad timing! I'm 37 weeks and my heart goes out to you!
I'm guessing you don't have family close by then who could help out at all or a friend who could help with the school runs?

No family live a hour drive from me. I'm really strong minded so I think the stress of not holding everything together over the last few days is what gets me maybe. Its this last trimester the rib pain and not sleeping is turning me into a monster

Ok well give yourself a break on the not holding it together, lack of sleep due to not being able to get comfy at this point, coupled in with the fact that at this stage in an ideal world you'd have your feet up so even a saint would struggle and let's face it not many saints about these days
It's ok to cry and feel like crap and be annoyed you've had a crap hand and to ask others for help... do you think your family could visit at the weekend if you asked them just to give you a break?

I think just talking to someone apart from myself and knowing I'm not going crazy helps my family are very good they come over when they can and help out alot! Its amazing how just talking to someone at the end of a shit day helps! So thankyou. Hope everything is going well and if you feel like crap u can always pop and have a moan here

Sorry you’re having such a hard time, that totally sucks.

TBH though, your partner has only broken one of his legs and presumably has crutches and one good leg, so perhaps it’s time for you to take to the couch and use a phrase such as

“sorry (insert pet name for partner) if I get up I may vomit again, your dc is really hurting me and I don’t feel well, can you get your own (insert item) this time please - oh and while you’re up can you (insert task you need done), love you so much babe”.

It it were the other way around and he was incubating a human being and you had a bust leg how do you think that would be getting played out???

Glad getting it out helped
Your family sound good un's so keep letting them help you as you need it right now..
I can't complain as my husband has two working legs, god help him if he decides to break one though

Thankyou guys just third trimester blues and a bad timing I think!! Xx

I cried at the drop of a hat when that far along, so break down in tears if you need to. It's horrible being so hormonal- like being a teenager again!

Get your DP a rollator! My DH broke his achilles a few months ago and I felt exactly like you, exhausted and frustrated that I had to do everything. He couldn't hold a cup of tea and both crutches at once. He hated the rollator but it changed our lives. It's like a Zimmerframe on wheels with a tray on it. We got one for about 40 quid on Amazon. After that he could go back to making meals himself etc. Big sympathy, OP

I'd get shopping delivered too, one less thing to worry about.
It sounds pants, Hope you feel better soon 💐
