Please give me some direction, some tips or something. I only have one child, she is 17 months old and I am almost 6 months pregnant with #2. I work all night long and my husband works all day, so after a 12 hour shift, I come home and catch maybe 2 hours before my daughter wakes up, and then I only sleep when she naps, which is between about noon and two. Collectively, I get just shy of 5 hours of sleep each day, then I return to work at night and work another 12 hours. I do this for 4 days in a row.
This is not
healthy for any person
to work that much on such little sleep, and I know
its not good for me especially since I'm pregnant. I
am so exhausted and bless my husband, he knows I
need the rest and is taking my daughter down to see
his mom next week for a few days. He sees it as a
chance for me to catch up on rest and etc.
But I feel like I cant work one more day! I am so
tired of being tired! I cant quit my job, it's not
possible in our situation, and I love my job, but
lately. I'm just so exhausted! Is 6 months too early
for my midwife to advise bed rest? I feel like
that's where I'm headed, simply because of
exhaustion.
