Is anyone else pregnant and have a toddler? I'm really struggling with lack of energy and feeling bad that I'm not being fun for my little boy 😥 tv is being put on far more than I'd like but I'm just exhausted so easily 😫

I really struggled at the beginning when I was nauseas and now I'm getting to 23 weeks I'm getting backache and all the fun things 🤦♀️ don't feel guilty, you can't help it! Your boy will still love you, tv or not xxx
@A thank you for replying, I'm 23 weeks on Monday and just feeling physically drained at the smallest things! Had a shower this morning and shaved my legs and I'm done in 🙈😂

😅😅 if that's all you can manage then that's enough xx I try not to be so hard to myself as it's twice as hard the second time round with a 2 and a half year old running round lol
I had a fever all last night and really not feeling great today so it will just be a tv day here aswell!!!
Just remember it won't last forever.. however crappy your feeling at the moment!! I hope you feel better soon xxx
thank you! Hope you feel better too xx

Feeling exactly the same. CBeebies is on a lot 😅
Feel like a terrible Mum but the sickness and fatigue at the start wiped me out. Now I’m starting to feel pretty uncomfortable. Just don’t have the energy 😩

I’m almost 21weeks with a 3 year old toddlers are somewhat easy to entertain you can just sit with them and play with their toys or let them do drawing or even let them run around outside it doesn’t have to be too hard energy wise but can just chat with them and make it seem your engaged more 😊 but do what you feel like you can don’t feel like it’s not enough

I’m feeling the same. You can only do your best. 🥰

Feeling exactly the same! Trying my hardest to do some fun things each week but CBeebies and YouTube are our best friends at the moment which I feel so guilty about

You're doing the best you can mumma and that is enough! But I totally get it - I have an 18month old who wants to constantly be out and about doing stuff but I'm finding it hard being so tired - but I also want to get her a bit more prepared for staying at home some more and not just being able to leave the house to go for a walk whenever she wants bc I know it's not going to work when baby arrives! But also don't want her to think its the babys fault, so trying to do more home based play before the arrival. Buuuut it makes me feel guilty! Unfortunately being a mum it's like there is always something to feel guilty about!
