Having trouble with my little

Sheherzada

I am 8 weeks today and I get so frustrated with my 20month old on a daily basis, its not just him, I find myself not wanting to have anyone touch me, not even my dog. I have a sensory disorder and it seems to be getting uncontrollable now. I did not experience this in my other pregnancies and I hate that I am getting like this. I have also been extremely fatigued and cant seem to get enough sleep, my first visit isnt for another month and I just feel like I am being a bad wife, mom, and dog mom. I feel like I need a vacation by myself just to relax my mind. Idk, I just feel like i am loosing it.

I am 8 weeks today with a 22 month old and I feel the exact same way!!!! And when I was pregnant with my daughter I never had any morning sickness but now I do 😭so I’m queasy, tired, irritable, short tempered, fatigued. I just want you to know your not alone! I honestly find the only time I feel happy or relaxed is at night alone if I’m sitting watching a good movie or show to distract me and keep me calm. I do take her out places to visit family or outside but I’m so exhausted and queasy it’s so hard to keep up with her and I don’t have any help bc my husband works a lot. It’s so different being pregnant right now. I am so blessed but just ready for that second trimester to come!! Lol I was never like this with my first either. With my daughter I was completely fine no emotional roller coasters and morning sickness no getting irritated by the dog easily or anything! Just gotta pray, push through, stay strong and hope and pray the second trimester gets better!! ❤️🤞🏼🙏🏼good luck stay strong!!

I mean can you take that vacation? If your body is telling you that is what you need DO IT. And, don’t feel bad about it either. Honor yourself, your feelings/emotions. Can you take yourself out?My kids are exactly one year apart and I felt the same way you did during pregnancy. I probably had sex a good 3 or 4 times during my whole pregnancy. I could care less about being physical! I found myself getting upset with my son for the smallest things but it was his fault at all..he is growing and learning himself plus his mommy. I found that taking him to the park, mall, shopping, literally just getting out of the house on “dates” helped the both of us. He could get stimulation from outside, I could jam out in the car and we could bond 1/1. I found myself wanting to force independence on him in light of the new baby but the fact of the matter is, they’re both going to need me for a long, long time.Also, if you’re a woman of any faith or religion, I suggest you pray! There are so many changes daily and many to come.. that makes room for plenty of worry or fear BUT don’t let it hinder you or change your heart. The fact that you mention it shows you’re willing to do something about it!
