Dear Diary: Feeling so frustrated

GASuzukiGASuzuki member
in June 2015 Moms
I am so frustrated with this pregnancy, which is a complete pregnancy. I can't do anything because I'm dizzy and nauseated. I feel gross already and I'm only just under 12 weeks. My husband has to do everything around the house. And my poor 5-year-old gets half the attention she used to. I'm sorry I'm whining, but I feel really bummed out right now because I am operating at half my capacity. I feel so useless.

    I meant it's a complete blessing. Sigh... I can't even text right.

    Im sorry. I felt that way a couple of weeks ago. Completely useless to those around me. And super guilty because I was not devoting my full attention to DS. This to shall pass. Your body is doing something that will enrich your family and nobody will remember the short period of time that you weren't on your A game. Give yourself a break and take the rest when you need it.

    @kimmarie1105‌ Thank you for the encouraging words. I hate 1st trimester. Hormones are crazy, I'm sore and sick, and my DH is even starting to look irritated.

    You get a free pass because you are growing a human! Pamper yourself. As @kimmarie1105‌ said this will be a blip on the radar looking back, even though it feels like forever right now. You should be on your way to feeling better soon.

    @PenguinMG‌ Yes, I feel like DH feels like I'm milking this. I wish we could trade places for a day so he would get it!

    @taboullio84‌ I'm sorry! I would be pretty insane if DH weren't picking up the slack.

    Right there with you... He is being a total rockstar, and he has been such a rock and has done nothing but step up and take care of me. But I know he's starting to get tired of it. I'm sick all the time and my sex drive is negative... Ready to feel better to pick my slack back up.

    I agree!! I hate that I can't function like I'm used to. My five year old has started to set up a little spot for me on the couch with pillows for me to "rest" I feel bad that I'm "resting" so much instead of spending time with him. This pregnancy has been very rough on me. Much harder then the first time.

    @trapdoorsteph‌ Yes, it's harder on me this time around, too. And my poor DD sees me crying at whatever and is always rubbing my back. I feel really bad for her.

    Nobody ever really talks about how hard 1st trimester is. I mean, yes, we have all heard of morning sickness but the world doesn't discuss that it can be physically debilitating, emotionally depressing, strenuous on your marriage/other kids/job/life, and a real health concern.

    The only 2 things I can tell you that might make you feel better are (a) I'm right there with you, and many of us here are, and (b) I find it the absolute worst part of pregnancy which means we are almost done with the worst part! I always say I would rather be 40+wks, huge as a cow, overdue, than deal with morning sickness. I know that is not the case for everyone and every pregnancy but it makes me feel better that I'm getting the horrible bit done at the beginning! Hope it's true for you too :)
