Extremely Down and Cranky

[APAL1021]

Hi All,

So i am finally starting to get exhausted and I will take that over anything else - fingers crossed i still head down that path of not being nauseous. With my first pregnancy i was exhausted, nauseous and very depressed in the first trimester.

And i am feeling depressed and sad and not happy about this at all at a lot of times during the day...I hate this feeling and i cant wait for it to pass. I am so not motivated to do anything for the time being including being at work and its getting harder! i hate that when i come home i plop and the couch and just watch my son and not play with him or anything!

Just needed to vent and i hope these feelings pass soon!

Popping in

Big hugs mama. I went through the same thing with my little girl. It sucked being in the hospital for a week and not being able to kiss her goodnight and care for her. Just remember it will pass you will get your energy back and have two little ones to play with

thank you - and its much harder b/c he is just a little over two now and he still is not speaking and was recently diagnosed wtih "suspected apraxia" speech disorder but he is so smart and so happy but when it comes to communicating he does it very well it getting his point across but sometimes it gets extremely frustrating for both of us well the three of us

[Minismommy]

just a couple of weeks, after nine weeks, I can feel getting better! This shall pass!

[Ksears]

I totally get it. I feel the same way, and I stay home with my boys. I just have no energy to keep up with anything...and then on top of that being so nauseated that I felt like I was going to pass out in the shower this morning, so not cool. I hope you get to feeling better.

thank you everyone!

You definitely have a lot going on! I'm home with my boys, and I feel guilty, too. I feel like I'm only doing the minimum to get by most days instead of being really "fun."
When you get down, just remember that you are giving your son a wonderful gift by giving him a sibling. That will be way more important to him than the little bit of time you are missing out on now.

maybe if i was home more often it wouldnt bother me as much but i am not i work FT and it blows lol - i just dont know how we are going to handle two kids and i think that is weighing a lot too and its scary! b/c right now the wonderful grandparents watch him X amount of days and i am not sure they want to do more kids and to put two kids in daycare will DEF not be possible Money wise bc i might as well quit and if i quit then no additional income to cover expenses lol - so a lot is going on and we clearly knew this and i am sure it works out some how but stil stressful...still venting as you can see LOL

Vent away--that's what we are here for! My boys were out of control all morning, so I definitely had the "What in the world am I going to do with THREE?" panicked moments today.

This thought definitely crosses my mind a few times a day!! LOL

[NHKate]

Sorry mama. I am exhausted too, and feel bad that I'm not doing more with DD. Hopefully things will get better soon.

[Minismommy]

I am not talking to my family today evening! Don,t exist socially!

[Minismommy]

Constipation can definitely disappoint you and make you nauseous too! I remember reading here that my dear, a lot of us are not too fond of drinking water, and that causes greater discomfort! Believe me, we need to sip warm water with honey and lemon added on for taste or just lemon too is fine, but water water water we have to drink for two people, remember the amniotic sac is filled with water! It's not only the prenatal but lack of fluids here too! It works believe me!

I'm kind of in the same boat! This pregnancy was NOT planned, but very wanted (just maybe not ATM)

I work part time and am a full time student my husband is in the same boat. We don't have ANY extra cash floating around we are budgeted to like the last $2! My parents also watch our boys and I feel terrible springing another baby on them.. I get so stressed out thinking about it. If we have to factor in daycare I honestly don't know how we will. At least my oldest is in school and my current youngest will be eligible for daycare/preschool at our college (it's fairly expensive but really convenient and I might be able to get a grant/scholarship) I'm not really looking forward to daycare though

I think you just find a way to make things work and it may seem scary at first but it will work out

BLAH it's so stressful! I'm totally with you..

I felt sad when I was pregnant with my second son too, I found out I was pregnant a month before his 3rd birthday. I didn't feel like I had spent enough alone time with him so I tried to cherish every last minute while I was pregnant and included him in the baby activities as long as he was interested but never made ti seem like a job.

I just cant wait to get out of this slump. i sound so miserable...lol...-but its normal that is what i keep telling myself but at the same time i feel stupid bc i should feel HAPPY! and i am not...i socially disconnected myself and i hate it...but thanks for letting me know and yes we budget down to the last $1 too - at least you are still in school and making it happen!
