Hi ladies
I'm afraid this might seem like a rant thread and im sure there are others in more difficult circumstances than myself but I just cant seem to slow down on day to day jobs/activities despite getting more pregnant . I'm 31 weeks today so still got a while to go yet, we got asked 2 weeks ago to host a 'wake' (funeral after-do - DH side), we agree'd as DH is the only sibling with detached house & drive etc. So it was operation clean house up! I was on my hands and knees scrubbing floors, painting skirting boards, painting kitchen walls, painting kitchen tiles, chopping down and pulling out heavy damaged bushes from front garden, still going to work... and I have a 2 year old daughter .
My DH works 12 days on, 2 off so a lot of the housework is up to me, I also work part time.
I've just wrestled with two loads of laundry and made our 6ft sq bed up ready for tonight, my DD is at the terrible two stage so I have to carry her upstairs and she goes dead weight on me etc.
I've had a very easy pregnancy (no complications) - exact opposite to my last pregnancy with DD. However I do get very crampy (period type) and my bump goes ever so tight - also excess discharge. I could easily go 6h+ without even realising I haven't felt baby move.
I feel like im going to spontaneously cry . How can you slow down when life doesn't allow it?
Sorry for the ramble xxx
