feeling sorry for myself
5 Answers
... i am greately feeling sorry for myself!
i dont have a huge bump despite being 23 weeks so am grateful for that, but suffered awful morning sickness from 7wks to 16wks and stil have bouts of throwing up or just feeling queesy, and am feeling very tired and hungry all the time. Also have been having bad heads and dizzyness if im walking round for longer than an hour so have to do everything in short bursts.
was wondering if any advice for relaxing basically? sounds stupid but before being pregnant i worked 16 hours p/w and had college monday to friday so was always very busy, and now im not working, not doing college... not doing anything..
have been trying to read but ran out of books in my house so have to make an effort to go to the library
looking for anything to keep my mind off the fact that im not doing anything... im guessing once baby is here ill miss the free time but atm i miss being busy!

aww bless you! you sound like i felt when i was pregnant! for a start i would go the doctor about the dizzyness, just to be on the safe side, i mean i felt tired and anxious all through mine and i had really bad morning sickness too but anything like dizzyness i would advice doctor!
what i did was buy myself a little diary and id write down things i needed and wanted to do, just little things and id spread them out over the week, so i had something to do every day, for example... mon - go to park feed ducks! seems silly but very relaxing!! tueday - go to library pick out a few books. wed - go to coffee house with a mag and chill out for an hour or 2
do something you wouldnt normally do!! you may find it very enjoyable!
take a slow walk down by the river ( if u live near any)
or a nature path, there are always seats around for a rest, take a picnic!! make sure you take about 1hr out of each day out the house! plus the fresh air will do u good!! also enjoy time to your self and your own company coz when the baby comes you will have very little time for you
good luck :o)

Firstly, congrats on your pregnancy!
Secondly, it's not unusual to feel like this!! I didn;t enjoy my pregnancy at all, has a similar length of morning sickness too! Had also moved away from my family and friends so was bored stiff and lonely!
As onlyme2008 suggested a walk is always good, fresh air will do you the world of good. If you miss being creative, i bought a DIY baby record book, which kept me busy and creative!
Maybe take up a new hobbie like knitting (yes, sounds old fashioned) but you'll learn something new and it will keep you busy and you could knit something for your new little one!

I was going to suggest knitting or crocheting, it's quite relaxing but keeps your mind ticking over as well and you could knit some lovely things for the little one when born.
Are there any TV series' you have always fancied watching that you could get a box set of (lots in the sales at the moment) and say watch an episode a day.
Baking maybe? Take something into your old work or donate them to a local old people's home?
Maybe get something like a gentle pregnancy yoga DVD?
I'm not sure if you have anywhere close you can get to easily but is there a nice cafe you could get to to have a nice drink and take a magazine or puzzle book to just get out of the house?
I have a park near me and find it really relaxing just walking down and round the lake and feeding the ducks. Most places have benches you can sit on for a rest.
