I don’t know where to start with this but hoping someone’s gunna tell me they feel the same so I’m not so alone…

I'm pregnant with my second baby and due in February, my little boy is 5 and I’ve been single (till meeting my new partner) from him being 2.

I’ve got pregnant quite early on a complete surprise and unexpected but a blessing. But I can’t shake the mum guilt I have.

I’ve had really bad morning sickness and leg cramps for as long as I can remember now, I have zero energy and the energy I do have goes into work and trying to keep the small child alive while feeling like I’ve been hit by a bus. But it’s making me depressed, I feel terrible that I’ve not got the usual energy to take him to the park or play games or be my typical bubbly self all because I’m trying to grow another tiny human and it’s draining the life out of me.

someone please tell me it gets better? My little boys pregnancy was an absolute dream, I know they say you don’t get two the same but whod have thought they could be completely opposite?

I can’t stand my partner at the moment (nothing he’s done his presence just annoys me) will this wear off? I can’t even stand the hair on my own. Head as a matter of fact I’m very very irritated.

im hoping once we’ve crossed that 12 week line I can start to enjoy this because I feel very grumpy right now.

It’s hard isn’t it. My son is 4 & was looking forward to doing lots of things with him this summer holiday.However found out I’m pregnant.Mum guilt is sooo real isn’t it.Had to book him in for extra days at nursery and going to try manage some fun stuff still but it’s bang right between 8-12 weeks.Go stuff for anti nausea to help me along. In my head I just want it to be September already 😆

There is only one of you & you can only do so much. He will not remember this as he gets older so be patient with yourself & rest when you can. You’ve got this!

I’ve never felt anything like it I just want to ho and kick and ball with him and roll around on the floor but I’m hugging a toilet and feeling sorry for myself instead, I know it will pass and will soooo be worth it because he’s so excited to be a bit brother but I also want to fast forward to February 🤣🤦🏻‍♀️ Thankyou for commenting
