I have to hide my pregnancy

ftmama-3

I live in an unhealthy environment, my mother and her fiancé are extreme alcoholics and have a very short temper with me. Me, my two kids and my husband live in a two bedroom camper on their property. Not by choice. My husband makes good money, but the rental situation is so rough. There is nothing or there is and it’s too expensive for us. I was kicked out (just me, my kids and husband were allowed to stay) for a month because I stood up for myself. I feel like we’re walking on eggshells while we look around desperately for a place to rent. And I made the situation worse by getting pregnant.

Only my husband knows. I’m currently 5 weeks in. But I know I have to hide my symptoms. I get small bouts of nausea, I’m super tired all the time and need to nap or I feel worse and I want to eat basic small things. But if I do any of these things my mom will pick up on it. I can’t nap because when it’s nice outside I HAVE to be outside with my children or I’m neglectful. I don’t know what to do. I’m surviving with mints, nauseate and animal crackers.

I’m so sorry that you’re in that situation. Is it possible for husband to keep his job if you move to a different, lower cost city? I empathize. Me and my mom have a strained relationship and she constantly tried to kick us out when we lived with her (for less than a year).
