How did you cope with a little one in the later stages of pregnancy

[Gigimoll]

And what is the age difference is between your children.

If this one Is in time there's 11 months between mine. I'm 33 weeks and struggling with fatigue (really low iron levels) and sciatica.
I'm finding it now difficult to look after dd.

I'm 39 weeks and 3 days today, I've got a 18 month old already, it's really hard isn't it, I struggle with every thing even down to bathing my little one at the minute due to
Bending over, I suffer with my hips in pregnancy. Thing is you feel horrible don't you as you want to do everything with them but then pregnancy makes it difficult, I just do what I can with him even if I struggle abit, and my partner helps as much as he can. Just think it's not forever (that's what I'm tellling myself anyway!) x

Hi Gigimoll,

My children aren't as young as yours (11 and 4 - 4 year old is a pre-schooler) but I have been struggling with my youngest dc). I have been relying on pre-school to entertain her in the mornings as I am not able to be as active as I need to be to keep her entertained - she has bags of energy and now it is half term, I have struggled even more although, elder dd has been occupying her a bit too thankfully. I am 34+1 weeks now but have probably struggled for the past 10 weeks or so and at first I felt incredibly guilty for not being the mum she was used to having but like User, I came to the conclusion that its not forever (same for the state of my house, which has accumulated in muddles but is impossible for me to maintain right now) and have since tried not to be too hard on myself. Take care of yourselves x

33 weeks here with a 12 month old. Really struggling with low energy and SPD. Was coping ok up until now but feel like the next few weeks are going to be a tough ride :(

You have my sympathies.

29 weeks here with two year old DD. Luckily she is very chilled and happy to go with the flow. I have stopped going very far and we just play at home together most days. She’s potty training as well so it suits both of us to just stay in. I feel your pain! She doesn’t nap either so it’s a loooong day.

Funnily enough I have just been thinking how I may order DH and I a takeaway tonight as I really can’t face cooking (can defrost something for DD) x

Christ don't tell me it gets worse I'm 15 weeks and have an 8 month old. Finding it very tiring and draining. But that also could be because I'm trying to come off of my anti depressants. All I can say is good luck!

I felt great in my second trimester.... now the tiredness is starting. Switched to decaf coffee as soon as I found out I was pg but going to buy a nice jar of regular for a pick me up on the really bad days!
