16 weeks and no energy

chantele

I ladies I need help. With my other two pregnancies I had so much energy and was working full time with both. I was 25 and 27 with them pregnancies but this time with my 3rd I have no energy. I did have a major op in august and did t know I was pregnant as the time. It was a very complex op and lasted ten hours. I had to have my abdominal wall opened up and then

my intestines taken out to have scar tissue removed and then had a large mesh put inside me.

I now keep getting infections and have to have drains out in. It’s draining me physically and mentally. I’m 36 now so I know my age isn’t helping with the tiredness.

I know I’m going to have a c section which I am scared about but I know it’s the best route. My others were vag deliveries.

I’m just wondering if there is any supplements I can take or advice. I’m currently on Codine for the pain of my operations. I’ve had 6 in the last 4 years all on my abdomen. It’s been very treacherous and the pain is unbelievable especially now as my medication is limited.

I’m just scared off all the complications that can happen. I know I have to have a stitch in my cervix soon due to it being dilated 1cm already.

I feel like it’s just a mess. And supports or advice would seriously help me right now. I’m sorry for the long post ladies. I feel like crying most days coz I can’t do the things I want to, like cleaning properly, ironing my kids uniforms and making dinners. My partner helps me as much as he could and he is a life saver sometimes. I just feel so worthless.

Sorry about the long post but I do appreciate you reading it. Thank you fellow warrior women xxx
