Can’t be in the same room as him

I feel so bad. I have to leave the room as cannot cope being near my 2 year old.
He’s lovely but I can’t.
He’s playing with his big sister I feel bad but I have to stay in the kitchen as he climbs all over me constantly or who he’s if I’m in there. I’m pregnant and feel rubbish and need my space but he won’t let me sit down and has to be on me and it’s painful so I’ve had enough and I’ve had to stay out of the room
I feel horrible 😥

You have my sympathy, toddlers just can't read the room can they. Everyone has their limits x

You're touched out. It's quite normal. Normal for you to feel this way with a clingy toddler while pregnant. Normal for him to be that way. I say this as I'm currently typing with my nearly 2 year old literally clinging to my neck.
The only real answer is space. Do you have a partner who can mind the kids for a while, so you can have a break? I work 3 days a week and it is my saviour.

If he’s happy playing that’s fine to take some time OP, I hate that stage where they use you as a climbing frame constantly.

There is no harm at all in taking a step back for a few minutes to collect your thoughts - assuming he is in a safe environment which it sounds like he is.

My DS sits nicely with family but the second I'm in the room he's climbing all over me. It is exhausting sometimes. It's fine to need a break, we're all human.

In my experience, getting up and walking away when he does something I don't like seems to be the best way to show him that I don't like the behaviour. Sometimes the best reaction is no reaction.

I just feel bad I’d be fine if he wouldn’t keep climbing and jumping all over me. It makes me feel guilty
