Hello lovely ladies. Well I put my notice in on Friday! Start my new job on 24th of this month and move in to new house 25th!! So a lot going on! But all of a sudden have started not feeling great.. Always always tired just now, doing simplest things! It's a struggle to get up in morning and have not had a lie in in nearly 3 weeks, in bed by half 12 at night and up at quarter to 7 in the morning. Starting to feel very faint a lot of the time, very tired, regular sore heads, sore stomach pains and a big lack of being able to sleep, end up just rolling about the bed for hours even though I'm sooo tired. Im nearly 14 weeks now, Partner is away offshore so I'm being left to do all chores, work, do horses and dogs, and missing him a lot! Finding every time I'm on the phone to him I am crying my eyes out!! Finding it very hard and even though I have one week left at work I'm finding it tough as I'm having to work 40 hours a week plus having to drive 300-400 miles in a week as I work in various places. I shouldn't be moaning as I am leaving in a week and taking a two week break but this week coming is such a busy week for me at work and I just want to cry at the thought of it!! And they know im pregnant and struggling but they dont sympathise what so ever! they like making it harder for me. On a brighter note I will be getting my dating scan this week which I am soooooo excited for!! I'm going to be having a Christmas baby, roughly due on December 1st. Such a proud mamma already, just wish it was December already( and I've never said that before in my life, usually dread it coming!!). Hope all ladies are well and all bumps xx

I'm not surprised ur crying I would be as well u have a hell of a lot on ur plate then on top of that a baby taking it all out of u! U need a break by the sounds of it, a holiday! U need this 2 weeks to chill out, and with ur other half not with u to take the edge off things bless u, things get better...ur start feeling better blooming soon...., the pressures will get better hunny..sending a hug x
Wow that is a lot you've got on. Pus the driving it probably wouldn't normally have bothered you but at a crucial growing stage it can really seem a chore to do the things we have been used to doing.
Wind down your leaving so start passing over your job to whom ever is now in charge otherwise sounds like they will get a shock taking over what you have been doing. Is there anyone to help with the horses? I can imagine that alone will be tiring.
Wishing you the best for your move its all in the organising if that's right you'll move easily and smoothly.
Look forward to hearing the outcome of your dating scan. My first was due 10th December but was born on 21st by induction. He loves his birthday and Christmas rolled together and it will be a magical month for you xx
Hi mango401 ..... My wife is also due on the 1st dec - so congrats too....
Sounds like the workload etc is a lot to contend with...
As I see it - there's NOTHING more important than your baby currently - so as I keep telling my wife (and this is unheard of for me) take a break ! Put your feet up if necessary and take time out at work.
In your case if you're already leaving - and pride may get in the way - ask yourself what have you to gain by taking on all the work ?
You need to get your sleep, so put yourself 1st.
Good luck & hope your have a great holiday
Mango401 I am seriously in awe and I think you are entitled to a good snivel. I think I'd be crying in your shoes even if I weren't pregnant. Congratulations on not falling asleep standing up.
I'm 15 weeks (due 24th Nov) and up at 6am but going to bed at c.9pm, with an option on an afternoon nap. Plus my partner has my dinner on the table when I get in from work.
I hope you can find a way to take things a lot easier, and that your two weeks consist of sitting on your backside. But I suspect not... please don't tell me you are also packing up and moving house in that time. Think I'd beg borrow and steal to get some paid or unpaid help.
Good luck with it all, and congratulations! xxx
Oh my god you're amazing. I get up at 6am, do a 90 mile drive round trip to work, get home around 6.30 and im generally in bed for 9pm. I really struggle to keep up with housework and cooking, let alone moving house. Im 15 weeks due 22nd Nov. Last weekend was the first time I wasn't completely shattered when I woke up, so we decided to spend all weekend clearing out the babies room (so much stuff had accumulated) it was great to do but left me exhausted all week.
How can such a small baby make us so incredibly tired. Oh and I'm far more emotional than I used to be as well, but hey its all for a very good cause and I don't care anymore if I haven't dusted for weeks. If my friend's wanna come round they have to put up with the dust and untidiness, oh and also that I'll probably be asleep on the sofa by 9pm. Lol
Aw thank you for all the lovely comments! Made me feel a whole lot better! Yes we will now be moving into the house on my two week break!! But I have an army of family who are going to come and get the house ready which is fab as I think I would have just slept on the floor!! I think what's tiring me out the most is the fact it's all hitting me at once, new house, new job, new baby!!! But with all this going on I really couldn't be happier!! Could do with a good sleep, but hey I guess it is good preparation for little one coming!!x
