Hi everyone,
I’m so sorry that this is quite a ‘moany’ post but I’m just struggling to manage at the moment. I’m 20 weeks pregnant and have a 2and a half year old. I have fibromyalgia (which is a chronic pain condition), a bad back and now just been diagnosed with SPD. I’m a complete insomniac this pregnancy and have only been getting 4 hours sleep a night for the last 10 weeks so I’m in a lot of pain and exhausted.
I’m also a part time carer to my Mum who has dementia and I just feel like I’m being pushed to my limit both emotionally and physically at the moment. My husband has been great and tries to give me breaks as much as he can but looking after a toddler and my Mum whilst feeling exhausted and in so much pain is just so incredibly hard.
I’m not sure what I’m really expecting anyone to say but I just felt like I needed to get things off my chest in a way. Some days I just feel like I can’t cope and I worry about how I will manage when the new baby arrives too.
