Pregnant, got burgled, feel sorry for me!

[PinkElephant73]

Pretty much as it says I am feeling sorry for myself today.

I know there is always someone worse off but I came home from work a few days ago to find that our house had been done over by some scumbags and over £6K of stuff taken. Kids are really upset as they took their games consoles and games, as well as my engagement ring and othe jewellery given by DH.

We had to cancel our anniversary weekend away as could not leave house empty overnight.

And now after the initial panic and fear from the burglary has worn off, the morning sickness/tiredness has kicked in and I feel like total carp and exhausted. Ive been off work since trying to sort everything out and have been working from home today but cannot concentrate and I dont know how I am going to drap myself into work tomorrow and for the rest of this pregnancy.

Oh, and my friends OH died tragically last week leaving her and two young kids. So I really have got nothing to moan about have I.

OK its off my chest now

That's horrible. Don't feel guilty because someone else is worse off. It is really okay to be sad and hurt by it all.

Thats bloody rotten - I do feel for you, I had it when I was a kid and got home and found it stripped bare. My mum never drove home from work so fast!! It feels like such a violation doesn't it, so no reason why you shouldn't have a moan and wallow for a while. Hope it all gets sorted (mine turned out to be my stepdad, but thats a whole other story!!) Sending love

I feel your pain - this happened to us last year and I also had my wedding and engagement rings stolen. It was all very upsetting and whilst obviously not on the same level as losing a partner think you are allowed to feel sorry for yourself for a few days! Ironically though it was actually getting out of the house and distracting myself at work for a couple of days that got me out of the gloom.

thanks girls

How rubbish, poor you. Hope you get back to normal soon x

Oh poor you, I was burgled whn I was at Uni and it was horrible, and I wasn't pregnant, plus they didn't even get much stuff, but we were all in bits!

It's the 'stuff' that has to be done afterwards I found most draining tbh, all teh going over stuff agin and again.

Yes, it's not on the same level as your friend, but it's still pretty bloody shit.

Oh god thats rubbish rubbish rubbish.
Total shit bollox crappy rubbish.
Better?

You definitely have my sympathy! It's horrible being burgled; we had a break-in when our son was only 4 weeks old, and I was really angry about it, even though very little was taken. You had loads of stuff taken, some of which had huge emotional value. Added to that is the fact that a break-in feels like a real violation and can leave you feeling vulnerable and paranoid.
Yes, your poor friend must be going through an absolutely horrific time, but that shouldn't (and can't!) stop you from feeling awful about what's happened to you.

arh i really feel for you! We got broke into just after xmas and its horrible without the extra stress of being pregnant. You definately have the right to moan and get it of your chest!

We had about 4k worth of things taken and it does take a bit of time to get over. give your self some time and try and get some rest to ..... as the morning sickness can make things feel worse.

I hope you get things sorted very soon . thinking of you

Boo and hiss. That's rubbish and I completely feel for you. Someone was broken into near where I live and they even took the children's money from their money boxes, nice.

Rubbish, nasty people. I wish rubbish, nasty things on them!

thanks everyone for your sympathy I feel a bit better now
This would be no fun at the best of times but the pg sickness is making it even harder work to deal with all the aftermath.
I cant believe how many people this has happened too - its much more common than I thought.
