Feeling Low & Questioning Myself
Show your support
Congratulations on your babies! Morning sickness is brutal & cruel. It will pass. You’re doing great. Pregnant & baby with a toddler is hard, but you’ll muddle through. The gift of a sibling & to grow your family will return to you in spades. You’ll be tired but your heart full. You’ve done the right thing. This is temporary. It’s totally worth it in the long run. (I had my 3rd at 44 & 2nd was IVF) hope you feel better soon! Can Dr help with any relief? Ginger tea? Lots of little snacks & no big meals helped me. Xx
That sounds awful. I've got no advice, but I hope some of our other mamas here do. Hope you're just going through 1st tri hell, that it ends quickly, that the rest of your pregnancy is a breeze and delivery is as easy as possible. Prayers send for you n lil babe!
Congratulations first of all. It’s normal to feel overwhelmed especially as you already have a toddler - we all know they can also be a handful. Give yourself some grace, more sleep and speak to your network of family , friends and professionals 🥰🥰 you have the strength to see this through and do whatever you choose to do
Absolutely normal. Making the transition from one to two kids with that age gap was so much harder for me than just having a baby. Pregnancy with a toddler is H A R D - give yourself some grace. I can only imagine being that sick on top of it, ugh. We doubt ourselves because we care and want to get it right. I hope this sickness passes for you in the second trimester and you get to relax a little. You're reaching out for help, you're doing great.
Thank you ladies! Your comments mean so much to me. 🙏🙏🙏🫶
Very normal! I was sick multiple times a day with my second from 6-17weeks pregnant. I really struggled with mum guilt about not being able to do as much with my 3 year old. It will pass, slightly 😂 my daughter is 11 weeks now and it definitely got better the further along pregnancy I got. It dipped again just after birth whilst I was recovering but it’s recently getting better again. Plus he is absolutely in love with his sister, we’ve given him a best friend for life so just hang in there! Hope you start to feel better soon ❤️
My first pregnancy I had the extreme morning sickness.. I only got 3 weeks without being beyond ill.. I lost 34 lbs my entire pregnancy.. My doctors tried everything.. Definitely talk to your doctors... Motion sickness bands kept some of it easier.. Eating small teeny meals especially later at night worked for me.. & weirdly I found fresh fruit helped best in the morning when the symptoms literally left me crying on my bathroom floor.. 🫂 don't be afraid to talk to your family too.. Not everyone is observant
