Feeling down / pregnant

I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant and in my mid 20s. My partner and I bought a house and we are supposed to be moved in by now but there was an unexpected and unfortunate issue that has delayed us by months and we really don't know when it will be solved . Could be another few months depending on construction works. I was so so upset about this. I am currently living with my parents and sister and my partner lives with his parents and sibling. My MIL is so overbearing and involved in everything, I know she means well but I find it so hard to contain myself when she irritates me( which is a lot). I'm not getting on great with my own parents either as my hormones are all over the place and I don't have any space of my own. I'm finding it really hard to live with them recently, as I really feel that I'm stuck in such a small space with no time to myself. My sister is constantly giving me advice on how she thinks I should be handling my pregnancy and becomes offended when I don't take her advice (she's younger than me and never been pregnant). At the moment my relationship is very strained as my partner thinks I'm being impatient and need to just learn to just wait a little longer. I'm having a really tough pregnancy, being sick the time , bad cramps, fatigue and mostly a hormonal rollercoaster. Apologies for the long post but I just wondered if someone has been through something similar xx

take a deep breath!

you have right to be upset about feeling sick and run down, about house delay, and as for your sister, she's younger, you're hormonal - use this as a free out of jail card to tell her to shove her useless advice. Until she'll find herself hugging toilet few times a day while puking her guts out, he has no say in anything.

Remember that between hormones and feeling sick some things will be getting on your nerves more than usual. I am few weeks further along in my pregnancy and in second month I resolved to only half-jokingly threatening people to pule at them if they get on my nerves

Unfortunately pregnancy is one great, annoying, gross and painful exercise of patience. Nothing we can do about it and having things like housework delays would annoy anyone in best of times, and early pregnancy is not "best time"
