Major impatience

I’m 38 weeks and so pregnant and so tired and uncomfortable, and on top of that, I have huge mom guilt because I feel like I have no patience left for my toddler’s nonsense. Usually I can gentle parent and calmly ride the waves of his OCD toddlerisms and potty training mishaps, but the past week or so I’ve been so quick to blow up and yell and I feel so bad about it 😩 Anyone else in the same boat? I’m praying that once I give birth it will be better, but I’ll be even more sleep deprived, so I’m scared it will take me a long time to regain that patience.

Yes 😭 especially with the toddler. I’m so touched out it’s insane. I want to enjoy my last few days with her as my baby but good GOD the tantrums are killing me

@Ciana Yes! I keep trying to focus on how little time I have left with him being my only baby, but I’m ragged!

I feel this! I’m 38 wks and I have a 15 month old. I swear I’m constantly touched out or overstimulated and I’m just trying to enjoy the last few weeks with just her but I’m so uncomfy and have literally no energy😫

Yes I agree!! I feel so bad also. My daughter is two and there are moments I just want to lock myself in a room and not deal with her tantrums or constant neediness and whining. It’s very hard. 😭 I’m trying my absolute best to be there as much as I can and explain to her if I do have a reaction that mommy just doesn’t feel well right now.

@Nicole Same! My son is almost 3, so he’s perceptive enough to say things like “you have a tummy ache because of the baby” and I’m simultaneously so proud of his cognitive skills but also worried that he’s developing negative feelings towards the baby because she’s “hurting mommy.”
