Second pregnancy

I’ve got a 6 week old and I still picked up my toddler the whole pregnancy, all was fine 😊

Currently 36 weeks and continue to carry and play with my toddler as normal😊

Thankyou ladies

I’m 12 weeks, I’m still picking him up but he can go up and down the stairs fine on his own so things like that I am trying to let him do more rather than me always rushing around and picking him up just to try get us both, probably me more, he’d definitely rather do it himself🤣, used to it before a new baby comes because that one I obviously will have to carry and I’m not sure i have the skills for both at once🤣 I’ve realised aswell by slowing down there was so much I wasn’t allowing him to do by picking him up, now I say “should we go and have a nap?” And he takes himself off down the hallway to get ready to go upstairs! Obviously still picking up him multiple times a day, but these things have helped and gave my back a small break!

oh that’s a good point! Get them to do more, it just takes longer, but I love that! Teaching them independence whilst forcing us to slow down💕

currently 38+4 still play and go up and down as normal x is hard and tired tho 🤣

I’m 13 weeks, I’m still picking her up as she gets upset if I don’t. I only try and avoid going up and down stairs with her so she does that on her own holding my hand and the rail. I am so much more tired than first pregnancy having toddler as well - have had to have a few conversations with my husband to do more and take on more mental load, we have already started making a plan/commitment from him of what is expected post birth as last time I did too much and that won’t be possible this time with two

I’m 18 weeks and picking up LO as normal xx

I continued lifting my 3 year old when I had nov 23 baby. Your body is used to lifting the weight of nov baby. I think with lifting its weights that you are not used to that you need to be careful of xx
