I’m currently 18 weeks pregnant, and I’ve been told the tiredness stage should go by the 2nd trimester. But unfortunately for me it hasn’t as of yet. I don’t know whether it doesn’t help that I start work at 05:30am 4 days a week and usually go bed at 9pm to make sure I get enough sleep , but I’m sure I don’t actually sleep ! Then to top it off when I get home from work I wanna crack on with things in the house but I just end up feeling to tired and the home is just a messy house 😖 help !!!??

I do plan to try setting my self minimal tasks each day to see if that helps , br any other suggestions would be great x

Don’t be too hard on yourself hunni it is very tiring and god you start early. Get your partner to help around the house there’s two people in the relationship.

So what If the pots aren’t washed your health and babies is more important . I found setting a list of things to do wether is 1 you tick off the list it’s one thing get your chap to help with that list. Get as much rest as you can if you need to sleep sleep if you need to moan moan if you need to cry cry laugh laugh trump trump leave that cup in the sink soon you’ll be looking after a little human being it’s your time now and your partners xx

That’s one way of looking at I thank you. I just worry about seeming lazy and it’s not the case at all I have it in my head I’m going to do this that and the other and when it comes to it my energy is just like nope ! I do ask him now again and obviously I also have to take on board he does 20 more hours more work than me too. I’ve just woke up from and nap now and I just feel rubbish and feel like I still have no energy 🤦🏽‍♀️x

Unfortunately that’s normal x your partner may work more but he made the baby too he did the fun bit 😂 but your cooking a little mini him or you too so twice the energy needed xx
