Pregnant stay at home mum with toddler! Anyone else?

Hi! You’re not alone at all. I’m a stay at home mom as well & I have a 4 y/o & almost a 2 y/o who stay with me. My 4 y/o has a late birthday so she won’t start school until August & my second daughter’s birthday is in April 😅 I’m due next week & i’m honestly just trying to survive. My husband takes over when I literally have no energy, but for the most part I do what I can. These past few weeks have been making me feel so horrible. I have no motivation to do anything & towards the end of the night I wish I would’ve done more. I know I shouldn’t be so hard on myself but still I can’t help it.

I’m exactly the same! My little boy turns 2 end of the month and baby is due the week after 😬 We are also moving next weekend and dealing with illness after illness lately so life has been very stressful! I’m literally taking each day as a new day, we have the tv on a lot but my little boy doesn’t watch it really it’s more for background noise! I’ve had to buy new toys and books to keep him occupied and try and set up different things each day to make staying at home not so boring! I also nap when he naps if I’m exhausted which massively helps even though it puts me behind on packing and the housework! I keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end, but do know you are not alone ❤️ xx

Thank you so much for sharing ladies. Honestly has made me feel so much less alone! I’m finding it really difficult to manage everything but I know that everything will change again soon and there will be new challenges to face and more adjustments! But mainly there will be a new little life in our family which is the most important thing. Find it so easy to get weighed down by all the logistical life stuff and mum guilt. My partner is so good at taking over too. We are very lucky! I’m also thinking about new toys for my daughter, as it’s her birthday coming up I’m hoping it will all slot together nicely. Thanks so much for taking the time to reply ❤️ Best of luck with everything xxx
