    Feeling run down and over it!

    Does anyone else feel this way?

    I am so run down that I'm starting to break out and have even got a cold sore coming up. I can't get comfortable to sleep, as I can't stay in one place for too long. DH has been wonderful and just getting me to realx, but I'm getting bored quickly, and just want to be busy with my new bub. But I am TIRED, and just don't have the energy to actaully DO anything (or the inclination for that matter).

    Sorry for the sook, but I'm just feeling very 'blah' at the moment. I'm sure that it's partly psychological, but mostly I just feel physically exhausted.

    Thanks for listening.

    Hi Kirst...don't worry...it's a completely natural feeling and I have a good dose of it too! From feeling really depressed to really excited, these hormones that are running through me are driving me batty!!! Just try to take it easy, give yourself smallish tasks to do to pass the time (I'm loving Sudoku at the moment!) and hopefully bub will be here before you know it!

    I can completely relate to how you are feeling - I am completely over it - completely exhausted - everything is so difficult to do these days.

    We are almost there - just need to hang on for the last weeks.

    Goodluck

    I'm right there with you. Hang in there though.

    I'm tired, I can't get comfy, and just have had a serious case of the can't be's for about 4 weeks now. I've even been getting up in the middle of the night to watch telly so I don't wake DH up, and then on top of it all feel really guilty 'cause I'm home all day and he comes home to the crappiest, simple meal I can muster.

    Yesterday I had a sore back and all I wanted all day was for him to come home and rub it.

    You are so not alone

    Well I am getting in early with my "Cant be bothereds" Seems to have hit me full steam this morning, I dragged myself out of bed at 11, did some pottering around and then began to ache all over my tummy, I have been slowly doing some work on the laptop but to be honest I feel like crying every 2 seconds.

    and I just want my hubby to come home and make me something to eat... and a back rub would be nice too ...

    take care..I hope you feel better soon....
    oh and at least your making hubby dinner... I am going to make hubby cook tonight.. I just cant be bother even looking to see what there is, let alone cook it..

    I hope tomorrow is a better day..

    Don't get too excited about dinner D-D. I whacked everything in a pot and made Shepherd's Pie. See? Can't be bothered.

    And Becca, becasue I was waking him up so often trying to get comfortable, I have been sleeping in the spare room for about the last 6 weeks or so.......

    Kirst- I could have written every word! Thank you for putting it so well!
    I am just completely over the whole experience and want my baby, and I'm bored, and I'm tired because I can't sleep properly (stupid bloody thunderstorm last night didn't help) and the mood swings are ferocious!

    And I feel guilty because I got DH to make tea tonight, even though we normally take turns and he's been at work all day... and he gave me a belly rub before he did it too. Sweet man. Well done on the shepherd's pie!

    The only place I get any relief from all the aches is in the shower... any minute I expect to be raided by the Water Authorities, because I'm certainly not keeping the showers under three minutes...

    Roll on the baby turning up...

    Well I'm feeling like a 70 year old invalid now!

    DD'd toilet training went right out he window when she decided to wee herself 4 times today, and not just little ones. I'm talking puddles on the floor! Thank goodness she was on the tiles and not the carpet. But that still meant that I had to clean not only her, but the floor 4 times today.

    So I have pulled both my left and right groin muscles, and muscles in my lower abdomen. I can barely move, and if I went into labour right now I wouldn't even know it as I'm in enough pain in that region from this.

    I only toddled in here to check for an important email, and while I was sitting, I thought that I'd share.
    I'm off to have a Panadol and put some more heat on it.

    I still don't seem to be snapping out of this mood, infact its been around for so long already.. I went to an antenatal class the other day and there was a section on postnatal depression. I answered yes to most of them, except the suicide question.

    should I be concerned? or am I just moody, unmotivated and not wanting to be around people cause i am pregnant and hormonal.
