Please pray for physical strength and encouragement for me. Im just skating by with less and less ability to do the housewife things at 7 months pregnancy. I hope it doesn't get any worse and that I can find ways to regain some strength.

The baby is fine. She is my active girl karate chopping me from the womb with increasing strength.

Even though my husband said this was normal and has been helpful with a good attitude, I still feel bad explaining that I physically can't do an errand or chore Im used to doing. I thought he'd be a bit grumpier but the good attitude makes me feel guilty, in a sense.

If he were more of a jerk, itd be easier to accept my inability to help him. Lol

Praying NOW for you sister, and whenever I remember. Yeah, that super baby is a kickin and a choppin! I pray for some relief and energy for you. PLEASE, do not feel guilty over such a normal thing, the baby is strong, sapping your strength so, let the vacuuming go for a day or two. Let the laundry pile up and you should rest, with zero guilt.
JMHO :)

Hi Wynona
Yes,it’s normal and in many respects it can be a positive learning curve to not get everything done. If you can learn to ‘ leave some things ‘ and get use to the irritation that it can cause it will help you adapt when the baby comes. Rest is invaluable. Trust me when the baby is due you will find yourself having the energy to blitz the whole house ( nesting ) It happened with all four of my pregnancies, and I had horrible sickness throughout each of them , but come the due date I would be cleaning windows, deep cleaning rooms, sorting out everything !!!!!!! Lol

Praying for you @Wynona. And I think your situation sounds normal. I remember helping more during pregnancy of my ex. Totally normal.

Bless your husbands patience and understanding….Enjoy it!

Tired as pregnancy advances is normal. Expect a surprise burst of energy before you deliver. That is normal too, “mommy making sure the nest is all prepared” ;-)

And for several weeks after the baby is born, REST when she does, give your body time to return to its normal state of energy. Snack on vitamin packed foods and as the baby grows, maybe get a pair of roller skates to Lead her, rather than follow Behind her.

God Bless,
Taken
