Well all day morning sickness has hit me hard and fast. I even went to the doctors today and have been put on a weeks bed rest. I am not a big sleeper but in the last 3 days have probably slept more then I have in my life and eaten a lot less then I really should. It has really hit me for 6. A weeks less work at this time of year is hard to take but I need to put my health and baby first.
I must admit, I do struggle with having to just stop. The house is a mess, there's laundry to be done, dishes, mess upon mess. And there's nothing I can do - well I could but I'd just end up being even more useless.
Now I am struggling with a killer sore throat - like I'm talking razor blades and that seedy feeling.

I figured seeing as I had time I'd have a little vent as well.
The minute someone says 'You should...' or 'When I was pregnant...' I've already started to cringe. People say that hate receiving advice when pregnant then seem to forget and bombard newly pregnant people with their advice. It's infuriating. Most of the time a lot of the 'advice' I get is conflicting other other advice which only causes me to get more confused and anxious. I understand that people think that once they've had a baby they are an expert in pregnancy but the thing is they are only experts in their own pregnancy not anyone else's. And from what I have seen everyone's pregnancy is different. The nightmare stories, the comments about my life being over and the constant reminder that 'I'm done for now'. I don't understand. How is any of that meant to make me feel better considering I feel like complete crap physically.
I think at the moment I'm frustrated with how I feel physically and it's taking its toll mentally and emotionally. Both my body and mind are going through something it's never been through before and it's just exhausted to say the least.
