Second pregnancy - not feeling it

Hi mamas, anyone on their second pregnancy and really struggling? I loved my first pregnancy 2 years ago but this one I don't feel the magic at all. I've gained so much weight, my bump is HUGE and I am so exhausted all the time. Really want to motivate myself to connect with the baby and look after my body but feel I'm in survival mode. Any tips from anyone (1st or second etc pregnancy) so welcome!!! Xx

No advice but totally here with you 😭

I'm the same. I've a bit of gender disappoint too. I feel so unmotivated to sort things compared to my first and feel guilty to this little one already

I feel you. Sometimes as well with a toddler running around it’s hard to find the time to connect with the baby and enjoy everything and when in the 1st pregnancy we could rest whenever we was in pain or feeling run down this time we can’t because we have our baby to look after. I feel like I’ve gained a lot of weight to think time I’m exhausted so much that I just sit in bed with my toddler watching films with him he doesn’t mind as he wants to be next to me all the time anyway but I feel bad that I’m not doing more

@Katie I am the exact same ! X

Awww man i could have wrote this myself. My son is 4 and he takes all the energy out of me. But for some reason I am not into this pregnancy as much. I didn't want a baby shower and don't want to take pictures. I don't know. I am just not feeling it this go round and I should because this is my last pregnancy. Thinking maybe my age is playing a big part in it to bc im 42. 🤔

I feel the same! X

I’m here too! It is hard being pregnant never mind running after a two year old too so don’t be so hard on yourself!! You’re growing a bubba! I have “popped” so much with this pregnancy. My last pregnancy I was so small until late but I suppose our bodies know where to move everything too as it’s done it before… that’s what I keep telling myself. But we have got this. I seen a TikTok the other day and it said having a baby and a toddler is so much easier than being pregnant and having a toddler If you want to talk, drop me a message we can go thru it together xx
