Yeah drink a little pedialite and give a little to the family. It helps with dehydration and you feel better (ask the doctor for you though)

Hi Loni,
Wow, you're sure going through a lot right now. It was very hard for me to be pregnant and chase my toddler. You're amazing!!! I suggest that you try to rest as much as possible right now. I wish I could help out more, but sounds like you're doing the best you can.
Congrats on your pregnancy!

I know what your going through. I'm now in my second trimester and I'm still very tired all the time. I'm a stay at home mom with a soon to be 1 1/2 and soon to be 2 1/2 year old on boxing day. Both of my boys are very busy they never stop and are into everything. In my first trimester I was getting sick all day long and super tired all the time. I mainly just kept drinking water all the time but had problems with my boys when I was getting sick because they would follow me and be right in my face asking "Mama whatcha doing?" I would read books and play with their flash cards and keep them busy with their toys the best I could while running for the bathroom a million times during the day until my husband comes home in the evening to help me out. And when I could get one of the grandmother's to come over and watch the boys for a little bit so I could rest. Good Luck!

I had the same thing when I was pregnant with my son. Only I had a daughter who was almost 2, I watched a little boy who was 3 and my nephews who were 1 and 2. And I got sick. NOOOOOO. Do the absolute bare minimum that is NECESSARY and try to nap when your other kids are napping. I actually had to have my husband stay home once or twice while I was pregnant with my son, as I absolutely COULD NOT function. so maybe that is an option???? If not, do you have a sister, mother, cousin, best friend, someone who lives close by that could pop in for an hour or so, so you could take a snooze??? It's really hard to be a mom, but it can be almost impossible to be a SICK mom. Sometimes we need some help. Don't be afraid to ask for it when you need it. I hope you feel better very soon. and congratulations on your new baby.

I'm right there with you mama! I'm starting my 3rd trimester with an 11 month old wild man. We are moving out of state in 3 weeks, have nothing packed, and the whole family is sick. Just drink some simply orange, stock up on chicken soup and hot chocolate, and take it one step at a time.
