Second pregnancy and absolutely hating it.

[Lolapicklepup]

I’m 14 weeks, with my second pregnancy. I have DS aged 16 months.

I feel so miserable. I’ve been in and out of hospital with hyperemesis and horrendous nausea and vomiting. My exhausted, my body hurts, I feel depressed. I’m being a terrible mum because I’m so fatigued and sick all the time.

My husband is utterly wonderful. He’s a fantastic hands on daddy, he does so much around the house, cooks as well as holding down a full time job as a doctor, but I can see this pregnancy breaking him too. He’s also exhausted and trying desperately to keep on top of everything while watching me so unwell.

I can’t believe I have another 6 months to go, I feel a shell of the person I once was.
i also had a miscarriage at 12 weeks before my son was born and I’m so grateful to be able to get pregnant but I just feel like I can’t cope anymore.

Sorry to moan, I just needed to get it out.
I know it have no other choice but to keep plodding on.

So sorry to hear you’re having a difficult time. You aren’t a terrible mum at all. Hopefully now you’re in the second trimester your symptoms might ease up a little and you’ll feel more like yourself?

Sending some supportive thoughts your way, I am 30 weeks pregnant with my second. The first trimester was gruelling and was utterly miserable and exhausted. TBH I only started to get excited about this one quite recently. It’s like I was too busy and miserable to be happy about it. Anyway, I feel much better now and have started to get excited to meet my new little girl.

I hope it starts to get a bit easier for you. Rest assured this is just a moment in time and you are a great mom 👍
