Toddler and Pregnant

👋🏾 same here! I’m not as far along but definitely feel the immobility & tiredness. We are also on screen time more, we try to go to soft play (he runs around & I sit), small walks to the shop and back or he plays ‘football’ some kind of active game at home with his dad. The guilt is there but there’s not much I can do. Hang in there, it’s almost time xx

Don’t feel guilty mama . We are the same here Or we do a lots of soft plays so he can be entertained and I can sit and have my coffee in peace 😂 today we invited his pal for a play date so he played for 2 hours and us mommies were just resting on the couch . But definitely relying on tv a lot now x I suffer with sciatica and Pelvic girdle pain so I can’t move for long periods of time .

I find soft plays hard because he doesn’t want to go around on his own and I definitely can’t get around with him anymore! As he’s just turned two he is also going through a stage of being a little handsy with others (big emotions!) - so I’m constantly on my feet monitoring! Thank you both for the reassurance, we put so much pressure on ourselves as mums it’s hard to snap out of it when it’s time to adjust! I suffer from pelvis pain too and carrying a big baby there is definitely extra weight and pressure so I can’t walk far! TV is definitely a big guilt factor for me!

Literally could have written this myself!! Mine is too little to run around soft play on his own and is so clingy atm! I’ve got PGP which has got really bad over the last couple of weeks so I’m basically a sloth 😂

@Jen if only we lived closer we could let them be absolutely wild together indoors 🤣

I have a three year old and finding it so hard to keep him entertained especially after nursery because he loves to be out and about and I just can't walk far and I feel like I am relying on TV and trying to give him stuff to entertain him self and doesn't help he is very attached to my hip at the moment and not having anyone around doesn't help when my partner works

Yes, I have a 2 year old and I’m finding it harder and harder to be out and about with her on my own! She still wants picked up etc and I literally don’t have the energy! Not long to go, can’t wait to be more mobile again!

Yeahhh two year old here too! 37 weeks pregnant. It’s hard work haha

Yep my little boy is 20 months and I’m 36 weeks, really starting to struggle! If I sit down for more than 10 minutes, I genuinely can’t walk afterwards (sciatica 🤦🏼‍♀️).. I can’t leave him to run around soft play on his own as he’s too little so I choose play cafes or parks instead but honestly after a day together I’m done in 😂 I’ve got him a tuff tray for Christmas to keep him entertained once baby is here as well as a toddler tower as he loves to do whatever I’m doing in the kitchen so he can help and play in the sink etc 🤞🏼

36+2 with a wild 16 month old and it’s killing me off 😂 I’m also relying on screen time far too much, but I just keep telling myself it’s only temporary! Trying to enjoy the last few weeks of quality time with my first but also so excited not to be pregnant anymore! Xx

I'm 35w and got a 20 month old, thankfully he goes to nursery 3 mornings a week which helps burn some energy! I also try and take him to the park or for a walk which he really enjoys, local play groups, playing in the garden and playing with different toys up and downstairs to keep him entertained! I'm always counting down to my husband getting back from work though haha, it is hard work!! You're nearly at the finish line though keep going 👏🏻

Thank you all for your comments, it’s nice not to feel alone. It’s helped me take the pressure off today and realise we can only do what we can do! Today we watched some tele, made pancakes, did some painting, stickers, had a sink bath, danced in the kitchen, played cars and did a small bike ride to the shops and it felt nice to actually relax at home without worrying or feeling guilty. We got this mamas! ❤️
