I’ll be honest I’m feeling a little sorry for myself today!
I’m 28+4 with a long awaited number 2 after 6 years of multiple miscarriages and an ectopic and generally all seems to be well but I’m an older mum (41) and a little overweight which complicates things. I’ve been on dispersible aspirin for ages but I’ve now had to switch to the injections every evening which I just hate doing! It takes me a good half hour to psyche myself up! And just yesterday I found out I have gestational diabetes which has got me really down, I’m already gluten free with coeliac disease and now I’m cutting out carbs too and stabbing myself even more. Last night was my first time stabbing my fingers and it took me 4 attempts to get enough blood out for it to register 😭
I’m also feeling a bit useless as I lost my job at the beginning of the pandemic just before we found out about our little surprise and my dh is just working so hard for us and I feel like all I do is sit around looking after our beautiful dd, he is amazing and tells me I’m doing the most important job but I always feel like I should be doing more.
The heat’s probably just getting to me a bit as I know it will all be worth it in the end but, much as I love being pregnant, I can’t help thinking “roll on October!!”
Hope everyone else is doing OK xx
