you are not bad or lazy.

Take it easy. It's going to get tougher in four weeks, relax as much as you can now.

You know this.

have a rest. if she's happy make the most of it. dont feel guilty. you'll have more energy in a few months.

You have bad SPD, are heavily pregnant and care enough to be worrying about the fact she's watching a bit of telly.
You sound like a sintly fab mother and I woul;dn't worry about it one little bit. In fact crack out the chocolate and put your feet up and have a fab sloobly lazy day. Nothing wrong with it at all. Please, please don't beat oyur self up over this (you lazy mare!!! ) xxxxx

as we arent blessed with great weather in the uk, i would say that as soon as we get some we are all mesmerised and want to prance about it it!!

I had spd, and I totally know how painful and tiring it is, your little one will be fine.

I am still in my nighty today, sorting out washing, the house. my dd is 4 and watching a dvd.

You need as much rest as poss.!!!

oh you know you are not! That is fine!

Don't feel guilty - I'm 32 weeks and have just struggled to town and back with the DS's (6 and 3) I don' have SPD but I shall be spending the afternoon doing.......well doing pretty much nothing actually. DS1 will play on his PS2 DS2 will watch TV.........do I feel guilty?? Not a bit

PG isn't an illness
but SPD is

Good woman, be easy on yourself! She won't suffer from a few wekes on TV (lets fce it, immediately post baby you'll likely be glad of it)

when I was heavily pregnant with dd I think ds though that Bob the Builder and Wendy were his parents .

have you got a garden? if so, get out there and let her play - or water your feet (always a hit with ds and dd when I just want to sit still for a while in the sun).

god when I was pregnant with both my girls towards the end things were a real struggle. Ds was2.2 when DD1 was born so I felt less guilty when DD2 was born he was 3.2 and DD1 was 12mths but luckily it was over xmas so dh was off. I just lounged around last couple of weeks as I had bad spd with both of them

I was knackered during my 2nd and 3rd pregnancies, got no rest as ex didnt understand and shouted at me for being lazy.

give yourself a break, pregnancy can make you tired

My dd2 is 6 weeks old and, tbh, I'm only just coming out of 'stick Cbeebies on' mode with dd1.

Take it easy, your dd is probably loving her lazy day.

my ds1 didn't watch tv at all unitl i was about 35 weeks preg with ds2... and he is fine!

I really don't think it matters...my motto is "adapt and survive"
you do stuff that you thought you wouldn#t ever do- just to get through the day sometimes...and TV is hardly anything bad is it?

not feeding her or giving her drinks is bad, not a bit of telly
put your feet up, you need to look after db2 now too. and it seems just now db2 needs a mummy who is chilled out and resting-
when bd2 is born, you soon learn to juggle and see who needs you more at any given moment
and tv and jigsaws help alot
