People Underestimate How Tough Pregnancy Is

Carmen

I will be 7 weeks tomorrow with my 2nd, my daughter is 9 months old tomorrow as well. Me and my husband are in the middle of packing our house, getting ready to sell, building our new home, and moving into the in laws. Mama. Is. Tired.

My daughter still wakes up at night, I think it’s a teething thing, and my husband works shift work so him getting up with her really isn’t an option because he gets up at 3am. So I still get up with her. I’m blessed to be a stay at home mommy, but I spend all day chasing her around and trying to pack.

Anyways, me and my husband were discussing getting up early for something and I said “oh you can do that, but I’m doing good to get out of bed. If I didn’t have a child to take care of I’d be sleeping all day.” My in laws thought it would be funny to say “oh you can’t do that with two kids now” and”get ready for no sleep. And start all that meal prepping” Like, why do people try there best to scare you or intimidate you about stuff?! On top of that my Father in-law was like “you’re what a month pregnant that’s nothing.” ………. Like I almost lost my mind right there. People have no clue how tough it is! How exhausting it is to even get out of bed. I AM MAKING A HUMAN! I deserve to be tired. I deserve sleep. I’m so frustrated with other people’s opinions, even if it is just “joking”.
