  Ugh, I felt like a complete waste of space this weekend. I barely felt like I could get up to go grocery shopping. I just wanted to sleep and sit on the couch...I got nothing done. I just kept apologizing to DH and thank goodness he's such an understanding soul. He just said "You just focus on growing my baby girl". I still felt like crap, but it was good to know that he was so supportive :-)

  Aww thats awesome. My DH talked me down a bit on his break from work. Though I still feel like crap too, I have the same feelings of being supported. I love that line "you just focus on growing my baby girl".

  I've felt the same way. My DH said don't worry about the other stuff, I can take care of it. You are doing something bigger that I could ever do for us, so don't worry about it.  Feel beter!

  Just chalk it up to a mental health day. I would not feel guilty at all and like PP said relax as much as possible before LO arrives. I think it is normal to have some bad days but if you're feeling down a lot you may want to talk to your OB about how you're feeling.

  I am so sorry you feel this way! Sometimes we all need to take a little break, and there's nothing wrong with that. You're doing a lot of hard work making a baby, and that takes its toll physically and emotionally. I am a crier even when I'm not pregnant... and it's about a bazillion times worse when I am. Don't feel badly!

  I don't work, but there was a week that all I could do was lay in bed. I didn't get up to cook, clean, or anything. DH was supportive about it and I felt bad. Thankfully, I've been feeling better lately. Don't beat yourself up too much about it. I give you props for working a full time job! I dropped all my classes at school this semester after I found out it was prego! You're doing better than me!

  Oh honey. You'd better feel lucky that you CAN call in and stay home when you aren't feeling 100%! Everybody, and I mean everybody, has those days, whether pregnant or not! If you weren't pregnant and just had raging diarrhea would you still have these thoughts? Stop being so hard on yourself. Take that day off and RELAX.
  Hugs

  As a FTM, I am still thinking people are delusional about how wonderful you feel in your second trimester. I'm 16 weeks today and was on spring break last week and DEFINITELY spent my entire breaking sleeping/resting and in a week, I only did laundry...

  I had a horrible migraine today and was feeling very emotional, so I decided calling in to work today was a good idea. But now I'm feeling guilty and useless. What am I good for if I can't even provide for my family, can't go to work like my husband did today? Is anyone else dealing with these emotional pits? I feel like crap all the time. My only consolation is that I at least got the laundry done. This is my first pregnancy, but I feel like I should be more upbeat, more energetic, not constantly crying over little things.

  I called in yesterday! Felt guilty and useless and did absolutely nothing but cook for myself and then had DH pick up dinner. Actually that's not true I hooked up Xbox live so I can now watch Hulu on the TV instead of the computer. I.e. i'm enabling future worthlessness....
