How on earth do you do it?

LOL CheezleMonster....How do you do it......well what other choice do you have Mummys dont get sick days.....we need a better union

Yep. That.

I was wondering the same thing. My LO is 10months and he is really demanding of my attention and time. Hubby is a shift worker and like you I'm essentially a single parent on the days he is at work... It's hard. I don't know how people do it by themselves. I just hope it gets better in a couple of weeks

trust me i know how you feel xoxox
both my kids are under 3 and DH works arvo and this pregnancy i had the worst M/S out of all 3, it got to the point i was prescription nausea tablets and vitamins as i couldnt cope without them
some days i felt i couldnt get out of bed and felt like a rotten lazy mummy and just as i got over the M/S at 20 weeks i was put on pelvic rest with no lifting, and had to rest alot

i really hope your M/S eases soon, rest up and my kids survived on 'junk food' dinner xoxo
they still have it some nights as i lack energy
and if mr moo is still napping then nap or rest aswell xoxo
xoxo

It isn't easy. I would sleep whenever our little guy slept during the day and on the really bad days I would just lie on the carpet in the TV room with him surrounded by all of his toys and books with the TV on (he has watched so much TV and read so many books this pregnancy!). If Moo has a lot of toys, get a couple of those big storage boxes and split them up. Then you can rotate what he plays with each day to keep things interesting. If you can make food for him, just keep it simple - frozen veg etc. is fine. If he has toast for dinner on the really bad days that is also OK. I would cook and freeze chops, for example and then just defrost them when needed. Even although we feel guilty for taking short-cuts, many have taken them before us and their toddlers are all fine! If your DH is in a position to, when he is home, get him to take Moo to the park while you rest up and Moo can run off some energy (I don't know about you, but direct sunlight made me feel violently ill). Ask for help if you have help. We asked my MIL to come and spend a day every now and then just so I could spend it in bed. Those "bed" days are what gave me the energy for the rest of the time I had no help. Just do what you can do and remember that it won't last forever x

Another thing i have just discovered in the last week or 2 is to go outside and get some fresh air even if it's just to sit in the garden, it's helped a few times now!!
