This is my second pregnancy, my first was 10 years ago. Everything is soooo much harder this time, maybe because I am 10 years older (25 then, 35 now). My husband feels so bad for me because he sees how much harder it is this time and how much more I am struggling this time around but people at work are getting on my last nerve.

I had to tell people at work because I have been so sick and I was running out of excuses and honestly I should of just told them I had the plague so they would of just left me alone. I haven’t slept in 11 weeks, constant nausea, major hip pain (which didn’t start until the end of my 2nd tri last time but already started with this) and a horrible cold that I have been battling for almost 2 weeks just to top it off.

I am so tired of people at work telling me how much better than me they are because they’ve had all these kids and they did while smiling and that I should take all theses medications because they did (40 years ago) and their kids came out fine and that doctors are just dramatic and if I just smile more everything will go away. I say I can’t sleep and they are like, sure you can, my best sleep was during the first trimester. Good for you but this is my reality!! I am not going to take medications that my doctor tells me not to take because you did, I am not going to just be able to sleep just because you did...

I am not asking for their sympathy, I just want to be left alone so I can get through this but between the hormones, the lack of sleep and constant comments... I am going to actually snap one of these days. When they ask how I am feeling, I just say fine because I don’t feel like hearing any of it and then it’s the, well you don’t seem fine you just need to cheer up and then they start all over again...

Sorry this is so long, but I had to unload somewhere 😞
