Not sure what I want from this message as I think a lot of people on here are juggling a lot, but I am feeling totally overwhelmed at the moment.
I am working full-time, looking after my 3 year old and worried about getting our house ready for a new baby....as we moved a few months ago and there is quite a bit of maintenance......
Work commitments combined with trying to attend my maternity appointments without my work knowing is also really stressful.
I am due some bonuses so am waiting as long as possible to tell work...and trying to save for my maternity....
I know most people are in the same boat - just afraid I don't have any time to rest and take care of myself.....
I can sympathise totally! I’m almost. 30 weeks, my body is finding it so much harder this time than with my 2.5 year old and having a toddler I just don’t get any rest. It’s a lot trying to do it all, and my work obviously know but I know what you mean when they don’t so you don’t feel like you can take your foot off the pedal there either. I was in tears myself up with my son in the night last night because I’m just exhausted and physically finding it so tough so I hope you do a better job than I have in finding a way to slow down and look after yourself. Sending love x
Hi Eb. Sounds like you're doing OK. One more week to go until "story time". Baby can hear you at 17/40 wks so start telling baby a bedtime story from then every night, and you will be surprised at how he/she recognises your voices when born. Diane
