Ideas for entertaining a toddler when heavily pregnant and with PGP?

[AntoinetteCosway]

So far this morning we've 'played' football (as in she chased the ball and I tried not to move too much), done painting, walked to a playgroup (ouch-and then it wasn't even on-grr) and watched cbeebies. I have PGP and pretty much any activity involving moving is painful now and I also find it really hard getting down on the floor to play, picking her up etc. I'm only 34 weeks so it's going to get worse! She's good at entertaining herself for a short while but without involved encouragement and me being involved she does get bored really easily.

Painting was a success, and not painful-bonus! What other things can we do over the next few weeks? I'm really aware that all the things I find easier-painting, play dough, reading etc, are fine but not active enough for her. She needs to blow off steam and run around while I sit and watch! Any ideas?

I'll have a look on Gumtree-I've been scouring the local facebook selling page for garden stuff but haven't had any luck so far. She does love playing with watering cans and the washing up bowl and sponges and stuff, but nothing seems to keep her entertained for longer than about 5 minutes without me getting down at her level and encouraging her-which is sort of fine, except I then can't get back up again!

Feel your pain! I'm 37 weeks and wish baby would come now

It's so hard with a toddler that wants to be active. DS was so bored yesterday even though I ended up overdoing it and making the pain worse!

There's some great ideas on here. DS has spent a while this morning 'doing weeding like Pa' this involved picking leaves off all the plants but it kept him entertained so I let him get on with it!
