I can’t do this anymore!

Okay I know that’s a little dramatic, but I’m really struggling rn. I have a 1 yr old, and am currently pregnant and in the first trimester. I feel like crap everyday. My 1 yr old won’t stop nursing through the night and wakes almost every hour to do so. My morning sickness is very triggered by nursing but it’s the only way I can get him to sleep. I’m so tired and have no patience anymore and I’m done feeling so sick but I feel like it’s only the beginning and can’t find any other solutions.

Do they have a dummy? Dsrkness, white noise, too hot, too cold?

He has never taken a dummy and everything else is taken care of. He just “needs” to nurse to sleep but it’s draining me so much.

Have you spoken to your doctor about something to help with your morning sickness? It’s honestly something you shouldn’t let yourself suffer with. Sometimes bubs will be extra clingy and need you more when they sense you’re pregnant. My two year old is clingy and have to cuddle him to sleep throughout the night. My one year old on the other hand couldn’t care less about me now, she’s more for her dad. Have you tried to get him extra tired so he doesn’t wanna wake up for a nurse? Or try nursing more frequently through the day?

Is it possibly a sleep regression? Mine had one right around 1 year - 13 months and so did a friend of mine with her daughter. Bad teething soreness caused it I think. My daughter does still wake a bit in the night but most nights aren't nearly as bad. Hopefully this is the case and it can give you a bit of hope because it doesn't last forever. Pregnancy is really hard with or without a toddler around. Hang in there... Second trimester wasn't great for me this time but it was a bit break still.

I have 10 months old and iam currently pregnant 8mlnths. It's devastating. My daughter need so much attention and want hold up constantly but I feel so much pain on my belly. We do lots of things toghter but I don't have time at all to rest people and soon I will start again with all nights up. I don't know how to manage everything. My aprtener is not really helpsfull. So I try to see if I can put my old in nursery in the afternoon as mornings are litterly impossible after nights up.
