Heyyy ladies, I'm currently 27 weeks + 1 day.
Feeling exhausted, drained and cranky than usual. Little things seem to irritate me and set me off. I don't know if that's normal at this stage? Or if this is more so being cooped indoors and not getting any fresh air since second lockdown.
It was okay during the first lockdown as I was able to keep myself busy with gardening and working from home. But I'm currently redundant from work and gardening is impossible given the British weather.
I'm currently diagnosed with VTE and preeclampsia and so resting is what I've been recommended (getting annoying now)
I'm also living with my husband and his family; all of whom are very nice but lack common sense when it comes to understanding what's convenient/inconvenient for others besides themselves.
For eg. MIL and FIL went to stay at their daughters house who recently had a baby for a few days (yes they broke the lockdown rules which I oppose... I would do anything to visit my own family but I won't as I'm not selfish)
I was left with my husband's elderly grandma ON MY OWN (husband is key worker and often has to stay overnight)
She can be quite demanding when it comes to eating and preparing her meals as well as fetching odd bits and bob for her. Basically I can't be sat for 5 minutes without her telling me to get up for something.
I get she's old but she is able to do her daily activities with no help when in laws are present. However I feel like whenever they're not there she's constantly pestering me. I can't go bathroom without her asking where I'm off to.
I feel extremely mad at the fact that I'm heavily pregnant and left alone to look after an elderly. I mean is that fair? Or am I being mean?
Husband said he will talk to his parents as he isn't happy I was left alone and he had no prior knowledge of this either. And he isn't happy being a key worker and knowing his parents are compromising other people's health to be out gallivanting.
Yes, they should know better but I feel like I am constantly the last person they'd think about when it comes to making decisions. I feel horrible for saying this but they have ruined what was supposed to be a relaxing pregnancy.
