34 weeks pregnant and so overwhelmed
My partner still wants to keep up the usual every other weekend with his kids but I am EXHAUSTED !!
I’ve said to him he needs to take them out and do things without me for these last few weeks because I’m so so tired and sore but he says no so I’ve got our child together (1) his daughter (3) and his other daughter (7) jumping running wild round the house whilst I’m still having to do all their meals, entertainment, bedtimes, drinks and snacks.
Any advice 😢 I feel like he doesn’t want to leave me out but I want to be left out !!!! I’ve got low iron so I’m on tablets that make me physically sick every day, baby is so low and head engaged so every time I walk I need to wee, I just want to use these last few weeks to chill but I can’t even go upstairs and have a nap on the bed for half an hour without him making comments that I’m hiding away 😭

Go away for the weekends to your parents or something to relax. Literally just stop doing everything. Go to bed, shut the door and make out like you are dying proper man flu style and get all the rest you possibly can now because realistically you only have 6 weekends best case scenario before the real hurricane hits of juggling a newborn, 1 year old, 3 year old and 7 year old! TAKE THE REST NOW! Good luck x
I just saw the bit about your iron tablets making you sick. Mine did this so I asked for ferrous fumarate instead of sulfate and it made a hell of a difference x

Do it! Put your needs first. You’re pregnant and exhausted there should be zero question of you taking it easy or anything. He’s right. You are hiding away and for good reasons. Stay where you are, in bed, feet up and let him deal with the kids if he doesn’t want to deal with them he shouldn’t have had them. Stick to your guns!
