The Fog

At the moment i feel like I'm surrounded by a big thick pea soup type fog.

I know things will seem worse because I'm pregnant and at the moment i feel like a slave to the vicious hormones that are racing through my body that are snatching all my good qualities away from me. At the moment I wake up irritated and go to bed miserable.

There is no break from it. I don't know what to do to make myself feel better. I don't like being short tempered, I don't like feeling like everything annoys me, I don't like feeling like I want to just run away and hide somewhere, I chose my life of mine, no one else did, so I should just deal with it right?

I probably will feel totally different by this time tomorrow (pregnancy eh?) but it feels better to get it off my chest and moan a bit.

I'll be 26weeks pregnant this week, how the time has flown by! There's not long to go now and I'm finishing work on the 2oth March.

I'm sure I'm just frazzled and need some R&R, but I'm off for a week from work so I'm going to try and get a bit of me time to try and blast these negative feelings away.

Here's to a less hormonal few days xxx

Moan away! You have a very busy life plus you're preggers, you deserve a moan now and then! Take care, hope you're feeling brighter tomorrow x

THanks for your comment at mine. I'm sure it's something to do with the time of year as well. I took daughter out for a long walk in the sunshine and snow this afternoon and I think the dose of daylight did me good. See if you can get out a bit in your week off, but take it easy, not long now! WM x

Big hugs to you Amy. You should have a moan if you need to, you are only human and have the best reason in the world! Hope you feel a bit brighter tomorrow xxx

Hope you feel better soon. Like you say it will be the hormones making you feel like this. Also when you have children and a job there really is no 'me' time. I hope you manage to get a break while you're off work. I can't believe you're 26 weeks already, it's going so quickly! Hope you feel better soon ((hugs)) xx

Oh lovely I'm sorry you're feeling like this - can you get some rest, it sounds like your body is screaming out for you to get a bit of a break

I'm with Muddling Along Mummy on this one, 4 kids, a job, pregnant - you definitely need a bit of a break. Hope you feel brighter soon.

4 children, pregnant and a job, I think you are wonderwoman. Stop expecting so much of yourself

Kate said...

Poor you. Still, hormones are kind of good too (speaking as someone struggling with not having enough) and if it's any consolation I'm feeling tired and irritable and I don't have the best excuse in the world. As TheMadHouse says - you're kind of being hard on yourself. It'll all pass so quickly anyhow - and you'll feel better soon.

I'm not pregnant either and I feel like this a lot lately. January is a dull horrible month, don't stress too much, take some time for you when the kids are in bed and relax a bit. Hope you feel better soon

Don't be too hard on yourself. I don't need pregnancy hormones or PMTs to feel the same way. I can't wait for some days to end cos everything's going wrong. Cheer up

Metropolitan Mum said...

Oh, my poor bloggie friend!! Do you have family around to help you a bit with the girls? Watch them for an hour while you soak in the bath? Take them out so you can put your head down and your feet up?

I am sure you'll be better soon. xxx D

Kelly said...

Ah hun, big hugs. Being pregnant messes with your brain doesn't it. I have no idea how you manage with the 4 girls as well!

A Modern Mother said...

26 weeks already? Wow. Hang in there!

Sorry to hear you are suffering with the hormones. Check out your nutrition and exercise as the midwife may be able to make some recommendations that would help.

I am going to restrict my blog access for a while, you are welcome to come and visit as an invited guest. If you email me on silika2007-silika@yahoo.co.uk then I can add you to the list.
