Mom guilt…

There could be a lot of reasons. Maybe you are exhausted, hormones are messing around, or you have some depression. Also have a look on your expectations, looking after a home with two young children while pregnant IS exhausting. If you can't take them out every day, it is fine. Think about activities that don't demand much from you and that they can enjoy. Sometimes even just a walk to the nearest park or hanging out in the garden is good enough for them.
I have. 5yo, a 23 mo, and am pregnant. I've definitely been letting things slip this pregnancy. I'm tired and overwhelmed. We've also been sick a lot from my oldest starting kindergarten. You're not alone.
There’s lots of reasons why you probably feel this way. You’re exhausted from looking after two children whilst also being pregnant? I don’t always wanna sit and play with my daughter or have the energy to take her places. It’s not a big thing that you have to do 🤷🏻♀️ it’s not in the rule book cos there isn’t one! A good mum will always doubt whether or not she’s doing a good job xx
Im the same way sometimes. Especially with sitting down and playing. I found what helps me with that is filling my cup first and then setting a timer and play whatever they want until the timer goes off. Usually cause I just don’t like playing barbies and making them talk. Which is weird cause that was my favorite as a kid lol. Things like play doh and coloring are easier for me to do with them. Or learning stuff like flashcards. Also this might sound strange but do u think u have any vitamin deficiencies? That can make a big impact in stuff like this.
you aren’t failing them because you are just so exhausted from taking care of them 24/7 that you don’t have energy and on top of that your pregnant so it’s normal
@Chloe I was just diagnosed with anemia last week that I’m taking iron pills for but I didn’t even think that would be a factor
Thank yall! Y’all made me feel normal again lol
It's totally normal
