Does this make me a bad mum

Hey, So I’m 8 months pregnant and I have a 20 month old son. I haven’t had the energy to do much during the day (while my other half is at work) to take my son out. I’m currently on iron tablets for my low iron levels. I’ve been out but I’ve had my mum, MIL or boyfriend with me to help me out. He seems to be happy enough playing with all his toys, and I’ve had my mum friends over for play dates. Does it make me a bad mum for keeping him at home. Or the odd trip out to the in-laws.

Not at all! They dont know any different! They are happy wherever we are 🥰

@CeeCee thank you ☺️

No it definitely doesn't. He's happy, entertained and taken care of either way. He is fine.

They honestly don't mind as much as what Social Media makes us believe they do. I grew up in a country where it is crazy hot during summer and crazy cold during winter, so I played inside a lot, and had a great childhood.

The fact you are worrying this tells me you are a good mum.

Not in the slightest does this make you a bad mum!

You are absolutely, one million percent not a bad mummy, not in the slightest. I had a 15 month old and was 8 months pregnant, we left the house when I could and when I couldn’t we played all day and napped together, it was bliss. Do not think you’re a bad mother for doing what you need to to get through everyday, you’re doing a great job, that second pregnancy is a whole new level of exhaustion, don’t worry yourself at all. Welcome to club 2 under 2 (in a month anyway)

I’ve worried the same thing! I have a 19 month old and urgently 14 weeks pregnant. I’ve had HG and we have not been outside and exploring parks the way we did before. I just remind myself that’s it’s a season and not forever! It sounds like you are doing plenty for your toddler, and are asking for help and taking initiative to have other people around and experience different things. You are doing great!!

Honestly your not a bad mum, your looking after a toddler, yourself and unborn baby, your doing amazing

Thank you all for your lovely comments. It means a lot x ❤️
