[QUOTE="donna723, post: 37737, member: 1883"] I agree with the others - you need to take it easy on yourself and give yourself a break! [i]So what[/i] if you let some of the housework slide for a while! There's worse things in this life than [i]dust bunnies[/i]! You're holding yourself up to impossibly high standards. You need to adjust your priorities for a while. And you need some help! And if your husband is under so much stress that his hair is falling out, HE needs some help too! He will be of no help to you if he, himself, is unable to cope. And [i]you[/i] need a visit to your doctor to see if you have become anemic! I'm another one whose pregancies were as different as night and day. With my second, I was four months along before I even realized I was pregnant! But in the early stages with my first one, I started feeling that same way ... too tired to even move! The fatigue was just overwhelming. I cried at the thought of having to get up and cook dinner! And I didn't have other children to contend with while I felt this bad! Turns out I was VERY anemic and it had come on suddenly. Some iron supplements and getting out of that yucky first trimester turned things right around and I was back on track again. So vent away if you need to! That's what we're here for. We've all been through this too! I hope you're feeling lots better very soon. [img]:flower:[/img] [/QUOTE]
