23 weeks with first baby. Miscarried previous one which destroyed me and took awhile to be able to try again with my husband. I've been so sick right the way through. It's near impossible to work and work is so stressful. I'm just in tears every day and exhausted by the end of the day and needing to go to bed. I feel like I'm drowning trying to keep up and can't quit my job as I obviously need maternity leave.

I feel like I should be grateful as we have finally made it this far but holy shit it's just so hard... I feel like I'm struggling to just exist.

Who's been through this and how the f*** did you manage? The nausea, the exhaustion, the hormones. I was so hopeful that it'd go away in the second semester. I'm just not coping.. I was a lot better while on Christmas holiday but the stress of work on top of everything is just too much.

I feel so depressed and stuck today that I'm just bawling my eyes out in the bath 😭

I guess I'm just looking for any advice or just hearing that I'm not alone in this.
