Well lately my PGP is getting worse! Some days are still good but some are so bad I can barely walk..
On Tuesday I throwed my entire breakfast (sorry for tmi) this pregnancy has been fairly easy. Sickness stopped at around 10 weeks!
I felt dizzy, headache and could barley walk! DH stayed home to watch DS. Went to see the doctor that day but he didn't had a clue about pregnancy so I went back to a different a&e and they did a complete check up!

Baby is fine, cervix is closed. So the doctor asked me if I was still working, I said only as a full time mom!

And he said he wants to put me on bed rest but when I told him I have a 12 month old he said to take it easy and not carry heavy things! Well DS doesn't walk on his own yet, DH is working every day and my also works most days! So I don't have any help during the day!

How am I to take it easy?

Anyone else with a baby and pregnant?
I'm 33 weeks Smile

I know exactly what your on about love, im 26weeks preg and have been told to take it easy, I have a 2 y/o and a 1y/o, my 2 year old is let say easier to look after because he can walk and talk and plays by himself but my 1 year old well all she does is cry cry and cry especially if she getting no attention! she getting heavy for me to pick up so what I have had to do is make her like a little bed in my living room ~(giving her loads of soft toys to play with) so I don't have to pick her up (as much!) she falls asleep eventually lol ,she constantly wants attention and I use to carry her every where in a sling thing but I cant now, she cant walk properly but shes just managing to play in a walker, this has made me less stressed and more time to chill :) hope everything goes ok xx

Wow sounds like you have your hands very full!! How do you manage to do housework, cook and take care of the kids?!

Since DS figured out he can bum shuffle it is a little easier but he is teething and yesterday I noticed in one ear a little bit of dry blood so went to see a doctor. He got an ear infection. That is why is was sooooo cranky lately! I hope that once he is done with the medication he will feel better!!!

I can't go anywhere without anyone with me who is caring DS and taking him out of the car and back in!

Counting down already! Will see if the doctors are right and if baby will arrive around 38 weeks.. Smile

I'm 35w and ds is 15m. I'm trying to nap when/if he does but not always easy as that's also a good time to get stuff done.
I'm also trying to encourage him to be independent, so practicing with cutlery, not picking up dropped toys/dummy etc, encouraging him to play on his own while I put my feet up! Some days are easier than others....
