Feel like an awful mum

[Moomandsz]

DS is 18mo in June, I’m v early pregnant with DC2

I know this first trimester doesn’t last forever. I will get some energy and my
appetite back. It does pass.

but I just feel like I’m a shite mum atm? I feel so lazy I mean luckily DH is amazing and has been so active and I’ve been going out with them. It’s more as DS wants me to carry him sometimes and I’m struggling cos of how I feel. Also lucky it’s summer so we can get the paddling pool and garden toys and have fun for a bit but I also am HATING the rise in heat and it makes me feel worse so I want to go in but don’t because I want DS to enjoy being out

hes going through a fussy food stage and I’m not eating so o can’t even try and coax him out of it by eating the stuff to see if he’ll eat it. DH is VERY fussy and eats beige still at his age so he won’t help much in this department lol.

I just feel like bad is this normal? I want to run round the garden and not feel like I’ll puke and eat meals again witn him and not fall asleep during his nap

You definitely don't sound like a bad mum! Your ds isn't at an age where he wants to go to specific places and will just be happy in your company, reading books, playing etc. Be kind to yourself, sleep when ds naps if you can. I wouldn't worry too much about food either straightaway. You're likely to feel better in the next few weeks and will have more energy to try ds with other foods, but right now, give him what you know he likes (within reason!) and on the days you're feeling up to it, introduce one new thing but don't point it out.
I hope you feel better soon 💐
