getting depressed

edited December 2015 in June 2016 Moms
I'm 13 weeks and so tired of feeling nauseated, tired, out of breath and just yucky. It's really starting to get to me. I miss being mommy to my two little boys, productive at work and a good wife. All I've been for weeks now is a big bag of crap. I would cry but I'm too damn tired. My first two pregnancies were not this hard :(

    Yes, yes, yes.  I'm at my absolute wit's end.  I'm a sucky wife, mother & nurse.  I hate this!  I'm normally pretty energetic.  I go to 6 am yoga, love to cook, have at least a clue what's going on with the kids' homework, socialize with friends, etc.  I know I'm blessed, and healthy and I truly am grateful, but pregnancy also sucks.  I'm with you sister.

    Aw I really echo what both of you are saying. I hate that my toddler so often asks "you tired, mommy?" I'm really counting on coming back to life a bit for the second trimester. I've been tearful about the roughness of this trimester countless times. I think it was about the same with my first but I just had so fewer other responsibilities it felt like so I could laze around without the guilt. Now any lazing seems like it's at someone else's expense. Oh well, hope you ladies feel better asap. I'm with you.

    Ugh...me too! I don't remember being this exhausted with any of my pregnancies. We told my son today because he keeps asking "are you sick mom? You are asleep all the time!" I forgot to pick him up from school today.

    I honestly cannot imagine having to go through early pregnancy with small kids to care for.

    It took my husband and I a while to even get pregnant with this baby and I swore I'd never complain. I never realized or could have imagined how hard pregnancy is. I got so depressed and down when I was going through weeks of nausea/vomiting/fatigue. I couldn't clean the house, I couldn't even see the kitchen. I could hardly work. I would just start sobbing and feeling bad about myself. I kept telling my husband I couldn't do this and he became an amazing emotional support for me. That help made a huge difference in my outlook on things.

    It's fine to take time to focus on you and rest/sleep whatever you need and can get away with, with having kids. You are also not alone in this. Take this one at a time and don't beat yourself up. You are doing this incredibly amazing thing of growing a whole human! It's ok to slack off where you need to.

    Is your MS letting up at all? Have you tried a prescription to help with the nausea? I really hope you start getting some relief soon!!!

    PREACH! I had a very rough 1st Trimester too, and my DH had to pick up even more of the slack, which definitely caused a lot of tension/bickering. I'm *just* starting to feel more myself, but watching a busy toddler with work/school is absolutely exhausting. Hopefully, your MS will let up soon...it won't always be like this, so do what you can to take the time for yourself.

    I hear you! Just ended the first trimester and was hoping my exhaustion would fade. Not yet! Now major for aversions are kicking in. Poor DH made a lovely dinner tonight and when it was ready, the smell made me want to throw up. I had to eat Mac and cheese and even that was hard to stomach. This is my first pregnancy so I can't imagine parenting at the same time as this. I am a teacher though and feel like I haven't been on my a game with my kids which is upsetting. Can't wait to tell them after break so they know why I've been such a lump. Pregnancy is a lot harder than I thought it would be too, and I expected it to be hard. Ugh!

    @sararose this is my life. It has been hard and I have had a lot of guilt seeing DH do so much with my DD over the last 8 weeks.

    I loved being pregnant with my son! I had a little nausea and fatigue with him, but I was still able to work full time at a very physically demanding job. I looked forward to being pregnant again, and now I'm sad I'm not enjoying it like I did before because this will be the last time I plan on being pregnant. I have no energy to do fun things with my son or take care of the house, and my husband's new job has him traveling out of town frequently. Thankfully, we're living with my parents until we close on our new house, so they're able to help some. I'm just hoping that the nausea goes away soon so that I can be a better mom, better wife, and enjoy being pregnant before it's all over.
