A mom and "wife". I'm currently 7.5 weeks pregnant and I have a 9 month old and a 2 year old. The dishes are piled up laundry is behind, toys all over the living room . I feel horrible about it but I have no freaking energy. My df says I'm doing fine but I know he's just trying to make me feel better . I do make myself cook supper every night. Please tell me I'm not the only one. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me have more energy????

Sweetie sometimes it's just too much. Nothing wrong with letting things slip once in a blue, just catch up to it a little bit at a time. (during times I'm feeling my crappiest I'll do one room a day during the week-except for the bathrooms, I'll do all those in one day-and get to whatever's left over on the weekend).

Thank you. I developed an umbilical hernia with my last pregnancy and it never went away.

You are definitely not the only one! The house got VERY VERY bad when I first got pregnant. No energy, sick all the time. I wouldn't worry about it too much. There are more important things than a clean house. Like a healthy baby.  =)

I know how you feel...except this is my 1st baby. DH and I don't have any other children (just our 2 cats) and I am 25 weeks pregnant. I have no energy and the house is not clean....iI do what I can but sometimes that is nothing at all.....

Me too...I am a teacher so I have been at home all summer. I do what I can, but it isn't much. I am 25 1/2 weeks and I have pain in my back and when baby hits her growth spurts I start cramping....no energy.
