Tired of everyone underestimating my symptoms and feelings
39 weeks pregnant now, and my entire pregnancy people have underestimated what I'm going through.
It's always "just wait til the baby is here" or "millions of women do this multiple times" đ đ
3rd trimester has been kicking my ass, but im still trying to do things that are expected of me...
I've been scrubbing and cleaning on my hands and knees just about everything in the house. Taking the laundry to the laundromat couple of times a week, meal prepping, cleaning the kitchen; all while working a full time job.
My job isn't hard, I work 9 to 6 mon-Friday and every other Saturday. It's a desk job, so i just do a bunch of paper work. But I cannot stop falling asleep at work!! My boss won't let me start leave until 2 days before I'm due đ
I do so many things after work, and especially on weekends, and im just tired. There's still more to do. But my husband has a bad back and can't help with a lot of things. My grandmother also lives with us, but she is 74 and cant help with much either.
Im just exhausted... and its getting SO much harder to do things like clean the bathroom or simply bend over. And everyone is just like "didn't you get enough sleep?" "You'll be fine, women do this stuff all the time"
PS, I'm not sleeping well because I have to get up to pee EVERY FREAKING HOUR!! đ It's like impossible for me to wake up earlier to get things done now, not like i used to.
