Feeling bad for complaining about feeling bad!!

[lozcharlotte]

Hello to the mummy’s, mummy’s to be and all those in between! I really need your help!

I am nearly 4 weeks along with my second baby, my first unfortunately ended in a miscarriage at only 2 weeks so I’m already worrying every second of the day but on top of that I feel absolutely awful! I am exhausted 24/7, work is killing me right now, I’m a store manager so no rest for the wicked, I’m in bed by 10 every evening which is very out of the ordinary for me! . I feel as though I’m about to get the flu everyday. Food.. don’t even start. I want to eat everything but I don’t fancy anything AND I constantly have a metallic taste in my mouth! And to top all this off hubby and me are moving house in 2 weeks!!! And the weird thing is I can’t stand to be around anything that’s been painted! (So strange I know)

As mention before I’m so scared about something going wrong but are all these things normal? No one knows I am pregnant apart from my husband as what happened last time so I don’t have anyone to talk to!

Should I feel bad for complaining about how bad I feel, this amazing process that is happening to me and all I can think is when will it stop?

Help!?

We all feel very different and handle and manage things in very different ways. I do think its a lot harder for people who have jobs where they are constantly on their feet all day, like I assume you are? so all I can suggest on that front is take a break when you feel you need it, easier said than done I know - is there anyone you can confide in at work maybe? that will be a massive weight off your shoulders if you have someone there who knows that you are pregnant, but totally understand that you don't want to tell anyone, esp after your mc.

Its totally normal to feel tired and basically have no appetite, all those symptoms came on a bit later for me. Just ensure you are getting a good intake of vitamins especially if you aren't eating much.

I cannot recommend an early scan enough, you can get a good deal on Groupon, but that will also put your mind at ease that everything is ok, but maybe wait a few more weeks so they can definitely pick something up.

I wish you a happy and healthy 9 months
