I know there are loads of mums out there with much bigger problems, but I am finding it quite a struggle keeping up with my DS, who is full of beans (as most 3 year olds are!) now that I'm pregnant.
The first pregnancy was so easy after the first 12 weeks - I had loads of energy - but this time round I feel sluggish, headachey, sick and emotional. I feel like I'm being a crap mum to my DS, who asks if we can go out and inevitably gets the response "mummy's a bit tired today".
I feel such a letdown. I don't want him to feel that life got more boring when I fell pregnant, and I know that I'm going to be even more exhausted when the baby comes. I feel like he deserves better than I'm giving him.
Anyone in the same boat? Any tips for an energy boost / kick up the arse?
