Awww Sunshine - for you!

It is a really apprehensive and life changing experience you're going through - I was in your shoes about 10 mths ago, I understand how you feel.

But you know what, you ARE a strong and smart woman, you will adapt to this, try to embrace this time of your life.

Roller coasters are much more fun than merry-go-rounds eh ?

I was in a similar situation 12mths ago when I couldn't move with the pain of an unstable pelvis which I had to rest with my feet up, then I got gestational diabeties and to top it off I went into pre term labour at 35 weeks and was on complete bed rest for two weeks. I couldn't pick DD1 up for the last three months of the pregnancy and I was helping DH run our bussiness. I was a complete mess, even with the support of DH and my family.

The good news it improved once DD2 was born my health got back on track and I think it made me stronger and more determined to just get on with it all, so much so we are going through it all again!

Big hugs and hang in there!

Wanted to send some love

I honestly think 25 weeks is hump week I felt like crap for a bout 2 weeks, very overwhelmed, lost my bottle at work more than a few times (spent a lot of time in the cool room cooling off or screaming at my chef lol) but it does pass. Hang in there babe!

WRT to the pain- have you seen a chiro or something? They may be able to something to help aleviate the problem. I had wicked ciatica (sp?) all down my right side, bum and leg - it was terrible. DH showed me some exercises and it really helped. Also I began to sleep with a pillow or two between my legs if I was on my side, the support under my leg really did help.

Anyhoo, you are doing an awesome job - working, keeping house, raising one and growing another! Dishes will always be there, so don't fret, you are rocking it.

I reckon you're bang on with the 25weeks thing, Limeslice! I think it was about this time that I was in tears at the end of the day more than a few times - I really couldn't see how I would cope with my toddler and a newborn, since the house was (and still is) a mess, dinner would rarely be a gourmet meal, some days, dd watched a bit too much tv for my liking and I was still exhausted!! I have to say, I am feeling more confident about it now, but we shall see what March brings.

:hugs: fingers crossed that its good news for the job too!

you poor thing

If it makes you feel any better I feel the same and I dont have all the pain you are going though with your back and pregnancy.

If it cheers you up at all, I jsut saw your avvy and think that it is gorgeous. You look so beautiful and it is exactly how you and your family look like in real life (although I havent seen you with your short hair yet).

I was thinking about your job and just thought if you got made redundant could you go to clink and ask for some sort of payment because you are unable to get another job this late in your pregnancy?
I have no idea how these things work but its worth seeing what you are entitled to as well as a redundancy package if thats what happens with work
