Not enjoying second trimester

Just not enjoying it. No glow. One thing after another and just so so so busy in life. And when I get any downtime I have absolutely no energy to do anything. The house is a mess, there is so much to sort out. We live in constant DIY mess and chaos. Everything hurts, I feel fat but not pregnant. Just not enjoying anything right now! Woe is me!

Yep I feel you! Returned to work in January (teacher) with a now 1yo at home. Work is stressful, home is now manic with a toddler and I am 23 weeks pregnant and feeling knackered all the time. At that stage where I don’t quite look pregnant yet, just fat.

I did take a day off sick a couple of weeks ago due to fatigue and felt so much fresher afterwards. Maybe if things are getting on top of you, consider some time off, just a day or two! To reset.

I hope you start to feel better soon!

I feel the same :( I'm only just into the 2nd trimester so I'm hoping it gets better, but I feel more exhausted than ever, I feel fat and none of my clothes fit me properly anymore and I just feel frumpy, my boobs still hurt all the time and I still feel sick and off my food. Everyone says the 2nd trimester is better but so far it feels worse!

Yes I also have a toddler - almost 2 - at home. Agree, odd days off work are needed but I feel so guilty and always chicken out! Monday should be a light work day fingers crossed though, so hopefully some down time in the day.
Honestly need about 5 months child free and not pregnant to just sort life/house out which I just can't have , I'm just no good at turning a blind eye!
