in January 2024 Babies 🇬🇧

Feel like just a crappy mom!

So the last few days have been so lovely the weather is beautiful. And I feel like I should be out with my son over the park or feeding the ducks. But because I’m 36 weeks pregnant I’m huge! I have spd so I can barely move around the house and got told yesterday my baby is already weighing at 7lb!! My son was born that! I just feel so crap that I should be out there and I can’t take him in our garden because the winter killed the grass and it turned it into mud. We’ve planted seeds so it’s growing back but just not ready enough for him to play on yet 😩

You're definitely not a crap mum, you literally can't be any more active then you are, amazing that you are managing a toddler whilst heavily pregnant x Can you get help in the day so someone more able bodied can take your little one out for a walk? If not you just do the best you can at home, at this age they don't need much, they just want to explore the most simple things, my lo is obsessed with checking out the cupboards and washing machine 🙃

No we don’t have anyone else to help. We literally do everything ourselves but my husband tries to do as much as he can with him, and my older son but I feel horrid because he’s been at work all day he will come home deal with the dogs, tidy anything I haven’t gotten round to then I’ll do tea, he will then sort baths and it’s time for bed. I feel like I should be doing more I just can’t 😬

You’re not alone but I’m not pregnant! 😅 I’ve taken some time off after maternity and I’m really regretting it, I should have just gone back. Now she has one 3hr nap, it eats up the majority of our day before we pick my eldest up from school and then my day’s over! We also have a mud/forest for a garden so she’s getting so bored in the house. My baby group also closed in Jan and I’ve not been confident enough to go to the others. I’ve been feeling so down about not getting out the house and making the most of time with her.
