Anyone else feel miserable?!

[Pregnantandknackered]

NC as feel embarrassed to be having such a moan! Im 24 weeks pregnant with my second baby. I’ve had a rough start with hyperemises and felt extremely sick, feeling much better now but nausea is always there! The only thing that helps when I feel sick is to eat, and as a result I think I’ve piled on the pounds, about 2 stone!! That coupled with I feel so achy, tired and unattractive is really getting me down. It doesn’t help that I was really small with my first, so I now have the ‘ooo isn’t your bump big’ comments, someone today even thought I must have been due soon :(

I just feel so miserable and guilty for my toddler and DH as I feel like I’m hard to live with atm!!

anyone else feel the same or have any words of advice?

I'm 37 +1 with baby number 2 and feel as though all I've done for the last month is complain about how uncomfortable I am! I have SPD and back pain and even standing up and walking into the kitchen hurts. I can't sleep and am exhausting all the time and feel so guilty that I'm not able to play with my toddler more. So I feel your pain...at least I only have a couple of weeks to go! Sending love and solidarity.

Thank you @MrsSamR its good to know that I’m not alone - hopefully just an emotional spell as got a bit longer to go! It must be so hard with SPD and not being able to sleep! Good luck for your new arrival and sending love for your last few weeks xx

27 weeks with my second here, I can totally sympathise. It makes me feel better seeing a lot of others on here find that eating is the only thing to curb the nausea, it's something I couldn't find as a symptom listed much online. I've also gained a horrible amount of weight - not actually wanted to check on the scales or anything but I can feel the extra fat in my face, arms and legs 😵‍💫 and I'm someone very bothered about keeping a healthy weight. But, honestly though, I feel it's helped me to just let go completely and put off thinking about losing the weight until after the baby. If we're pregnant and we feel tired an awful let's treat and pamper ourselves!

You must be very tired, I'm also running after a toddler most of the time and it's completely life draining lol. Hopefully these cold months swing by and Christmas is a good distraction to keep us going until we're due 🙂 let's hope we avoid the winter bugs too because pregnancy + illness + toddler is the combination from hell!

I'm only 8 weeks with my 2nd. Pregnancy is just shit, there are no redeeming features except for the lovely human at the end. I already feel guilty that I'm being crap for my toddler, but overall I still think I'm on the "good enough" side - I'm sure you are too.

Don't worry about your DH, he should be able to deal with the fact you feel shit and may not be the best fun right now, but I'm sure he's not a ray of sunshine 24-7 either. Hope the rest of your pregnancy goes as smoothly as possible, and just look forward to being on the other side!!
