I've been on iron tablets for about 2 weeks now. They come with side effects, as a lot of medication does, but they're making me feel really down and rubbish. The side effects, not the tablets. The tablets are working amazingly well! So much more energy than before :) I'm getting the usual upset stomach side effect, which started as nausea and I threw up a couple of times but now it's the other one, which diarrhoea. It's normal and everything but it's making me feel rubbish mentally. I'm 37 weeks today, and my partner is at work still. So I'm on my own with my 10 month old son 9 hours a day for 5 days a week, and it's really hard to cope. I keep finding myself getting angry at my son for simply crying about something! It makes me feel awful because it's not his fault in the slightest, but it frustrates me a lot. I'm really tired, but in the way that I've had to be up at 6am every morning for the past few days since my partner has been at work for 5:30.
But anyway, I'm just a bit fed up! And I wanted to share it on here, incase anyone else is going through a similar time and needed to know that they're not on their own. I'm always here to chat too, because I can relate!
I hope most of the people who read this aren't having as hard a time as I am at the end of my pregnancy!
