I'm 37 weeks pregnant and I have a 2.5 yo. I'm really starting to feel tired now and struggling to bend down to get things or clean things or go up and down the stairs umpteen times. The problem is whilst I know sitting down and resting is good for me and perfectly acceptable at this stage I cannot seem to relax. I can't get into my book so I end up on my phone or laptop just feeling fed up really. I've enjoyed watching the Olympics but I can't concentrate very well. I am constantly worrying about getting the housework done and thinking of all the things I need to do but the list seems never ending. I tidy and clean a lot at the moment and yet I'm never satisfied! I just want to forget the housework and relax more without feeling guilty or worrying. It's like the nesting and the exhaustion are happening at the same time which just doesn't work!! My poor dh is now hoovering the whole house after I tried to explain how I felt. I appreciate him doing this obviously but my point wasn't that I want him to do more (he does plenty) but that I just want to sit down and relax for a longer stretch of time!
Is it just me I'm probably not explaining myself very well!
