Im having such a downer day

I don't know if it preggo hormone related or not but im just not feeling very good today.
I have been unemployed since November and can't get a job because i am pregnant. Employer keep turning me down, probably because i will need maternity leave in 3 and half months or so. My unemployment compensation is ending in 6 weeks. I donly was able to collect for 4 months. I went to dental assisting school and loved my job until my dentist relocated. I feel kind of worthless and that im not living my life to what it could be. Im not working and making my own money and helping to support anything. I know i have this beautiful little Chat Icon growing inside me and will be here in a few months and i think that is what is keeping me going but i feel like im being a slacker. I wish i could do more. I feel like the days just jumble together these days. I hope this goes away! Chat Icon
Plus, i feel like a whale. DH was nice enough to ask me yesterday while i was clwaning the house if i was sure i only had one baby in there and has nicknamed me "Goodyear" as in the goodyear blimp. I know he was just joking but didn't help make me feel any better.
Sorry for venting.

I am so sorry you are having such a downer day Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

When I was pg with 1st DD, I too was unemployed for a nice chunk of the pg and my emotions fluctuated ALL the time. Part of the time I was happy to have the time to cook and freeze meals for when I would be coming home and getting rest needed before the baby came.

But the other part would constantly worry about finances and just being bored and wanting to work

Are you sure your unemployment will end soon? The normal amount has been extended due to the state of the economy.....

Don't feel worthless. You are growing a baby inside you!

I am not working right now either. There are days I feel guilty about it but mostly I am happy that I have time to do things I never had b4 like cooking and keeping the house very clean. I was having a really hard time in the 1st trimester and left my job voluntarily... so yes, I feel a little guilty on the days that I don't feel so terrible. I would try and enjoy the time you have to yourself right now because when the baby comes that will be your top priority. Chat Icon Chat Icon
