Guilt is killing me
I’m 17 weeks and all I do is nap and eat. My sweet husband works all day and here I am sitting on the couch either napping or on my phone. I get chores done but not on schedule, as in, instead of finishing cleaning X by 10am, it gets done by 5pm, but the house always looks presentable/chores done before he comes back. The guilt is do overwhelming I think I might have prenatal depression. I used to be super active, up and about, but now I feel like a drain on the household. I know I’m growing a whole human 24/7, but the guilt is just eating me alive, which sometimes leads to emotional eating, and it just makes me feel worse.
Seeing others more pregnant than me working out, running, having jobs, and raising other kids makes me feel like something is wrong with me, and that I’m too soft for this world if I can only handle house chores and naps. I’m sorry if this is such a downer, but it’s how I’ve been feeling. Thank you for reading❤️
