I feel bad…

I feel bad that I’m acting so different in my 2nd pregnancy. I do love this unborn baby, but I don’t feel like I’m doing as much for the baby. It’s like nesting doesn’t exist for me. I’m EXHAUSTED 24/7 with house work and taking care of my toddler. How do I snap out of this?

Hi! I want to say it’s ok. It doesn’t make you a bad mom. Pregnancies are different. And the energy you have is different and that’s ok and normal. Nesting doesn’t happen for everyone in every pregnancy and it isn’t anything you can change. The fact that you want to put in the effort for both your unborn child and your toddler is fantastic! Also toddlers are exhausting pregnant or not. It’s a season, you’ve got this. Good job!

Honestly same! 😭

I'll be honest I didn't nest with my first 3, this one I've been more trying to get things done early, but I've been drained on energy too. So I feel bad, because I've been asking my husband to do it for me. So don't feel bad, kids and pregnancy take a lot of energy out of you!

My second pregnancy was just about survival. I had a two yo and was constantly exhausted and nauseous.

I feel the same way. I have an 18 month old and we have a lot going on. While I’m wanting to nest, there are just so many things going on that it’s been hard to nest, eat, hydrate… i prioritize sleep and naps though.

Same with my 2nd pregnancy. It won’t make any difference. You’ll love her so much and you’ll be ready enough when she’s here 💕

Same! But this is my third. I try to rest up as much as I can and I make a daily to-do list with minimal tasks on it so I feel at least like I’m making progress.

Same girl you’re good ❤️
