I cannot begin to describe the magnitude of the fatigue I'm battling. This is almost as bad as when I had the PIO shots. I simply cannot stay awake. I feel like every time I put my head down - I wake up 2 hours later. Apparently I fell asleep talking to my nanny - SMH! I struggle to concentrate, I struggle to do my work, and I'm feeling like a total failure of a mother because I just don't have the energy to care properly for my little one. I haven't even had the energy to take her to a play date in over 2 weeks! Even picking her up from daycare is becoming a colossal chore. My days are actually filled with dread that my DH might ask me to do something I don't have the energy to. I'm feeling like such a slacker too - which just sucks. I know he wouldn't judge - but I've always tried to pull my weight. Sigh.....
Now onto the eating!
I have to be honest - this is what I feel like - minus the belly. I don't understand it - I'm only 10 weeks - so it's not like I should need a huge caloric intake - but some days the hunger is literally unbearable. I feel like I have to eat hourly not to feel nauseas. It's simply madness. I didn't have this last time - so the idea of eating like this is so foreign. Also - I've lost 5 lb in 2 weeks eating like this - so I'm even more baffled. There's no joy in my eating right now - simply attempts to avoid bad feelings. I don't feel comforted or gratified by my food. I'm just always bleh.....
I know I shouldn't complain but today's my pity party ! Oh and whoever called morning sickness "morning sickness" - clearly has NEVER been pregnant!
Aaaw, I am on the same page right now, just in week25 already.
ReplyDeleteI would love to comfort you by saying that it will get better soon, but for me it is still like you describe it. I sometimes cannot even concentrate on phrasing one sentence at a time properly or following a normal conversation.
We'll be back to normal in a few months!!!
OMG congrats!!! And congrats on crossing viability! I think I messaged you on twitter as we haven't chatted in a while! I hope we get back to normal because this is horrible. The struggling to concentrate is the worst!
