I’m struggling

3 months pregnant with a very hyperactive 7 month old. I’m the only one home day in and out while hubby goes to work. Though he has been amazing picking up the laundry, cooking and night feeds. I’m just being physically pushed to my limits and I’m only 3 months in. Maybe I should have kept my legs closed lol - sigh Advice anyone?

I’m sorry mama, I don’t have any advice pregnancy is hard and different for everyone ❤️

Rest as much as you can so when the baby naps, either nap or just watch some tv or something so you physically rest. Also lower your standards so you do what you have to do but the nice to dos can wait 6m (or a bit more).

When I was 3 months pregnant with my second baby. My first was only 5 months and I started getting him into a night time routine. It was the only thing that helped. He had dinner, bath then bed. Didn’t take long for him to get used to it. First few nights were hard but since then hes always stuck in his routine. It was definitely worth it and helped out so much. Congratulations on your pregnancy, your gonna smash it

The baby is the priority, dishes, laundry cleaning can wait. Or hire help. You might get more energy soon since you're starting your 2nd trimeter. You're going great mama. Keep it up!

I don’t have any advice but I’m in the same boat if you want a friend or to talk ❤️ my son is 9 months old and I’m 27weeks pregnant, I struggle a lot as well.

I set up a safe play space for my hyperactive baby when I fell pregnant with his brother. Sectioned off a part of the room, had a mellow mat, toy/book rotation. It kept him safe and occupied and meant I could do other things as needed without worrying too much. And I’d often go in there and play with him on the floor because the mat was so comfy

Probably get some hate for saying this but miss Rachel has been a godsend. When I just need 10 mins I put him in his play pen with his toys, chuck her on in the background and just go sit on the kitchen floor

I’m sure you will start feeling better shortly! You are still in the exhausted sick phase
