Having an over-emotional day

[andreag]

Just came on to moan a bit.

I have a bit of sciatica (sp) as the baby is on the nerve so my sleep is even worse than normal (it wasn't great to begin with) and today I have come back to work after a week of on leave and just feel like crying. It is more exhaustion than pain, I think LO one has moved and my bump feels really heavy, like before I went into labour last time. I'm not usually one to get emotional, especially at work, but today I just can't get myself straight. My collegues have noticed and keep being really nice to me, which makes me want to cry even more. I don't want to go home as I only work 3 days a week anyway, so feel really lame if I take any more time off, plus my boss is having to go in for a hernia op and one of us needs to be here. I hate being this weak.

Anyway, moan over. Will try and do some work and stop blubbering. Thanks if you got this far.

Sorry to hear this hun, have a nice warm bubble bath tonight and try to forget it. do you have to work tomorrow? can the midwife/ doctor give you anything to help with your sleep that is pregnancy safe? hope you feel better soon hun

aww hun, you are sounding like i was a while ago (regarding the being "weak" thing). Sciatica is nasty and is enough to make you miserable. I also went through the crying stage (mine was over a printer for goodness sake). This pregnancy business does take its toll at times (especially the lack of sleep) so dont be hard on yourself.

I gave up work a week earlier than planned in the end and although i am bored senseless it was definately the right thing to do!

Hope you feel better soon,

Aww i have had so many days like this dont worry, except i just burst in to tears at any given moment, especially at work because my boss can be a bitof a sausage breath

Aww hun , I completley understand. My sciatica forced me off work 4 weeks earlier, I just couldnt cope anymore. It all mad me very emotional and felll ike I was "giving up", but then at the end of the day, my health and the bubbas is so much more important than work. Im glad you have understanding colleagues (my are NOT with pregnant ladies )
Rest up on your days off, and maybe see your G.P for some physio? It may help.
Take care of you darling
