OMG, BTDT Moms with LO's at home and pregnant....
Seriously, how do you get through the day?
I'm experiencing really bad morning sickness... well, all day sickness really. I'm exhausted and sick all day. How do you keep up with your DC when you feel this way? All I want to do is sleep. My DC is 11 months old, and while normally a great easy going baby, has been a beast the past couple of days.
I had pretty bad morning sickness with my 1st pregnancy, but it started later and at least I was able to come home from work and crawl into bed. Something I can't do now.
I feel like I'm going to lose it and wonder how I'm going to get through the next 7 months.

Re: OMG, BTDT Moms with LO's at home and pregnant....
 it has made me say 2 is all that will be coming out of me.
My boy's quality of life went to hell during my first trimester.
8 mos pregnant now, throwing up again in the AMs. Migranes.
I could not imagine doing this with an 11 month old...mine is 3.

It was a little easier on my bc mine was about 3, but yeah, it was still hell. I was barely able to be a mother for the first trimester & I had m/s until 18 weeks.

Re: OMG, BTDT Moms with LO's at home and pregnant....
It has a been a struggle. Now that I am further along I manage better. But for the first 16 weeks or so, it was hard and I felt so guilty about not being a good mom. I would crawl into bed right after she went down, I would sit at the table with my head down while she was eating. DH is a big help, but he has alot of night meetings. Hang in there

No advice, just standing in solidarity with you. DD is 20 months and I am almost four months pregnant. My pregnancy with DD was a dream compared to this one. I have had awful all day sickness, a UTI and a bladder infection so far this time. All I can tell you is a little extra sesame street or whatever your DC watches on TV will not really hurt them.

Re: OMG, BTDT Moms with LO's at home and pregnant....
DS was 22 months when I was pregnant with DD.
Thankfully, I had very early AM sickness, but, by lunch time, I felt like a truck hit me with tiredness. On top of that, I was babysitting for family everyday!
I got them on a schedule..thank goodness and have no shame in saying, the monitors went on HIGH volume and when they napped, I put my feet up and napped right along! I told my family this too! I ALWAYS made sure the kids were sleeping and safe before I got comfy!
That nap (even if it was an hour) was the "miracle nap"! LOL.
If I felt real awful, I'd ask, well, beg, DH to work from home! He did, but, maybe once or twice.

I am 22 weeks pregnant now, and feel pretty good. But between weeks 6 and 12, I was sick as a dog 90% of the day/night and my 20 month old with me.
I did use the TV a lot- also taking a walk- the fresh air helped me (I know it is very cold now to do that- this was back in October).
I also napped when DS did, which helped. Thankfully it got better, I hope it does for you too
I also have a friend who had a sitter come a few hours a day to play with/take care of her DS while she was pregnant and sick, to give her time to rest.
