DD is 2.5 and I'm 8 weeks pregnant and a SAHM. I'm normally so good at keeping her busy, taking her out regularly getting exercise, doing activities and eating well. This is my third pregnancy but we lost DS as a newborn last nov.
I just do not remember being this exhausted last time even though DD was younger- although I do suspect the emotional issues around being pregnant are not helping (I had an emcs at 27 weeks for reduced movement with DS he died 2 hours later)
I have now felt sick continuously for 3 weeks and vomiting occasionally but everything, I mean everything, that I smell including washing powder is making me wretch. I have headaches from the pressure of being sick and can't even muster up the energy or cope with the smell of opening the fridge. I was sick with my last 2 pregnancies but not this bad.
Poor DD, I'm trying to get her out of the house each day but it's not for long and I keep plonking her in front of the tv while I'm trying not to be sick or while I'm being sick. I reckon on and off she watches 2 hours a day at the moment. I sometimes can see she's bored and i try and do an activity with her. I can't cook every day, it makes me sick so she is often having sandwiches/soup for one meal and an Annabel karmel ready meal for tea.
My family live 2 hours away and are helping one day and she's at nursery 2 mornings a week but I feel so sorry for DD the rest of the time as she is not getting the attention, the home cooked healthy meals or the daily routine she deserves.
AIBU to my daughter. This has been going on for 3 weeks, I'm praying it's not too much longer. If you flame me fair enough, but any suggestions welcome!
