Add me to the list of pregnancy-haters. I'm so sorry you're having such a hard time! Each of my successful pregnancies took 2 years trying so I REALLY wanted to have babies but Man did pregnancy suck. I hope things get better for you soon!

Are you kidding? My dad always says that feelings are neither right nor wrong, so if you're feeling stressed and miserable, you have EVERY RIGHT to feel this way.
Not everyone loves to be pregnant. I hated my first trimester and spent the 2nd & 3rd stressed and kind of numb about my DD's health outlook due to her heart defect. I wouldn't wish that kind of BS on my worst enemy.
I've been through so many "super-long" ultrasounds that, if I didn't know better, I'd think I should glow in the dark by now.
Sending lots of to you.

ugh. I HATE being pregnant. I get it!!
Your DH needs to get a grip. You can't do it right now. Although I would think about what would be easier for me--put the kids in some summer camps and work or stay home with the kids and have DH hire some temporary help--either way it costs money. (for me, it would be easier to work )

Oh mama, serious hugs. I'm really sorry you are feeling so awful. And I'm sorry that DH is being...um...probably something you'd rather I not say. You are a good wife to see that he's not himself either. I imagine y'all are an amazing team.
Right now I'd say it is time for outside help. Maybe make a Caring Bridge page for friends to have something to refer to that you NEED. Or hire a sitter who will do light housekeeping. I hope this pregnancy flies by and your little bundle is here before you know it.

I'm wondering if you need to be on bedrest. Have you talked to your OB about that? I know this would take you away from your children, but I would hate for them to be around when you had a seizure.

I'm technically on "activity as tolerated." When I need to slow down, I slow down.
Hiring help would be nice, but I almost feel like it would be a lot of work for me to even do that right now. I may ask our new neighbors if they have a service they use and love. One neighbor brought us dinner last night. It was very sweet of her and helped a lot.

1. Get a house leaner once per week, this is not a luxury but a medical expense.
2. You need to buy more ready made food, it is only 9 months, everyone will be okay.
3. DH takes laundry to laundry mat where they was , dry and iron and he picks up at end of day.
4. You need a sitter 20 hours per week for the summer, they will run the kids ragged to activities.
5. You need, must be " selfish" for awhile, you need to make sure that you take care of you before something really bad happens.

You'll need help after the baby is born too, though, so the effort of finding someone now will be worth it. Maybe someone who could help with the kids, house, and follow orders with the business? (Mary Poppins?)
I hate being pregnant too, and I don't have major health comcerns. The only good part is feeling the baby kick and dance inside. I hope the rest of your pregnancy is uneventful and passes quickly!
After I posted this, DD told me her throat hurt...had to take her to the Pedi and she has raging strep throat. The doc told me to stay the heck away from her. She and DH have taken over the master suite so I'm bunking with DS in his room. I got maybe 3 hours of sleep last night. DD is dehydrated and the fever hasn't broken. I just hope DD gets better ASAP and the rest of us don't get it. Oh the stress...

I am so sorry to read your update! Dehydration can definitely make a fever spike--can she keep anything down? Popsicles? Gatorade? Get as much sleep as you can! Praying for you!!
