I'm 36 weeks pregnant with hyperemesis which has come back with a vengence, mixed in with recurrant kidney infections and utis. I've been hospitalised 3 times in 3 weeks and lost a stone in the third trimester alone. It takes me ages to work up the energy to get socks on/ get my laptop from under the bed. I'm signed off work and don't leave the house. Now my toddler is ill too with a vomiting bug.
I just can't face Christmas, or the thought of traipsing round thinking of what to get everyone who never know what they want. In fact the whole idea of Christmas is horrible, considering I'm existing on toast and sleep.
I should have been organised early but I struggled to even get baby stuff ready tbh.
Obviously I'll make an effort on children's presents and do my best for my son to make it fun, but is it reasonable to ask adults to appreciate the fact that I'm wiped out? I'm very happy not to get anything myself and just be left alone to a dark room.
