I'm depressed and need to vent

First off, I had plans to take my daughter to the aquarium and boardwalk today. We were both super excited about it and of course I wake up with a killer headache. I get migraines that have put me in the hospital so there's no way I can take the chance and still go if it doesn't get better. I do love being pregnant and Im sad this will probably be my last but it's killing me that I can't do things. My hips hurt so bad it's hard to move. Just getting up from a chair sucks. I worked out regularly before getting pregnant and between morning sickness and the pain I haven't been able to do anything. It's really depressing. I've been feeling totally under appreciated too. I don't want anyone to sit there and coddle me but there is absolutely no sympathy. It's freaking tough to take care of my daughter and do what needs to be done everyday feeling the way I do and all I get is looked at like I'm pathetic and should be doing more. I could maybe see if I sat there and constantly complained but I don't say a word! I just do what I need to do. Sorry not everyone has a cakewalk pregnancy!
Also my husband's working today, which he does every year, and never bothers to take the day or try to switch with anyone. This year he asked a couple people to switch like two weeks before but only because I said something. Of course they said no. It just pisses me off. And to top it off, I just got out of the shower and as I'm drying off I see a huge spider run across the bottom of the tub. Awesome. Happy Mothers Day! :-q

@scarfbandit sorry you've been in pain too. That's great the massage helped. Ill definitely look into that. I'm hoping to get to yoga this week and hopefully it will help some. The migraines suck! Knock on wood I haven't had too many bad ones this pregnancy. They seem to get a little better when I'm pregnant. Normally I get them so often there's no way I could hold a normal job. Once I get one there's no functioning and if I push it, I just end up in the hospital. Hope you have a happy mothers day!
@elbug I stopped sleeping on my side and now sleep somewhat sitting up with 5 or 6 pillows stacked behind me. That has helped a lot with the pain during the night and getting out of bed. It still gets bad throughout the day though. I'm going to try some yoga this week and if that doesn't help much I'm going to check out the chiropractor. A couple years ago I fell down a flight of stairs and broke my tailbone (most painful yet funny injury I've ever had lol). I don't have any issues when I'm not pregnant but I'm thinking maybe there's something left over from that that gets worse while I'm pregnant.
