Pregnant moms with toddlers... how we holding up?

The last week especially feel like I've been hit with a train. Sciatica pain started, fatigue is quite severe, yet I am sleeping like crap at night, and I occassionally get a Charlie horse cramp that makes my leg sore for days after. On top of that, my toddler has seemingly started teething (maybe 2 year molars?l and decided its time to start throwing everything. He also wants a lot of active play which I just physically cannot do anymore (such as chase or wrestling). Anyone figured out tips to make pregnancy with a toddler easier? Activities to keep them busy in independent play? Hang in there ladies , just about 3 more months to go.

I'm so sorry! My daughter is almost 2. I work full-time and she attends daycare and I definitely think I have it easier than SAHMs.

Yeah this time definitely isn't like the first time for me. And I don't think it's the three years older that I am, it's def the three year old.

Energy level I am up there even while pregnant, typically😆. As of Wednesday I started having light labor contractions (they're accompanied with menstrual like cramps as well as the deep ache that goes into thighs during the contractions) I've also started to dilate at the entrance of the cervix, I'm needing to calm my activity level down to calm the amount of contractions. My son who is currently 21 months (turns 2 just 3 days after Baby's due date) he is a whirlwind of energy. We have a lot of learning type toys, like peg puzzles, a VTech learning table, a book nook, a car mat, a bag of soft toys, a bag of mega blocks, a bag of musical instruments, learning flash cards that are good stock and he can't tear, different types of cars, a couple dozen hot wheels, as well as a hot weels powered track, a couple different balls, a push "car", for outside a water Activity table, a storage bin of just water filled half way he loves to just splash his arms in it, a bubble push mower, and chalk. Hope this helps.

I’m not 😂

My daughter is 3 years old and the past month and a half she’s been an emotional wreck . Throwing tantrums, yelling at me, telling me no, also being so sensitive. I’m trying to keep patience w her but she is absolutely pushing it w her outburst. It’s so different, she’s still my sweet, nice thoughtful girl but at any moment it can change . She’s like a teenager 😂😂😭😭

My son is 21 months & I’m working full time as a lead toddler teacher I’m exhausted. My back hurts, heartburn is awful, charlie horse ect I’m ready for end of June/early July to come😩 I hope he’s early
