I just need to vent…..

I’m feeling so exhausted and depleted. Currently 35 weeks pregnant with my second and I’m just beyond exhausted. I’m still working full time as this economy is not allowing me to take time off earlier. My son who is 21 months is super clingy to me and only wants me to do anything and everything for him ( I love that he loves me so much and finds comfort in me doing things for him it’s just so tiring specially taking him up and down the stairs as we live in a double story home) and to top that off my partner just hurt his foot and is now in crutches and like a vegetable on the couch as he isn’t allowed to put any pressure on his foot. I’m feeling so overwhelmed and low key resentful towards my partner right now (even though I know logicallly it’s not his fault he hurt himself it was a complete accident while he was cutting the grass) but I’m just resenting that when I’m at my most vulnerable and need the most help, I’m tending to him rather than the other way around. My whole body hurts and I’m really struggling physically, mentally and emotionally

Well from experience with your older one it’s important to start asap that they’ll be big bro/ sis and what a blessing g responsibility build them up first so they don’t be jealous and have them help as much as safety will allow u to helps them I have Irish twins girls I had at 39$40 but you got this

And as far as the pain the body pains can be helped Mr me after you have baby, remember I’m shamanistic

Your almost there 🥰 and just remember you are stronger than you think. it's so unfortunate that your other half has had an accident at the time you need him most. I would sit and have a think about what he could be helping with from the sofa. Whether it's folding clothes, personal admin bits... anything really he could do sitting down that would take some pressure off you. Is there anyone else who can help out? Even just for a couple of hours to let you rest? If not with childcare maybe around the house to take the pressure off elsewhere. What's your company sickpay like? Could you go off sick for something non pregnancy related? You sound totally burnt out like you could do with a good rest. Even if you just had a couple of days off where your little one still went to childcare and you could recharge. Just be mindful pregnancy related illness in the last 4 weeks trigger your maternity leave so would need to be non pregnancy related. Xx

Also, it may sound crazy but it works take off your shoes and find some grass and dirt, it will help you ground yourself, I’m sorry about his accident when my youngest was 1 my s/o cut his hand off at work and was out of commission for a very long time. Just remember we’re built for this
