Mum guilt

I'm pregnant with DC2 with DS only being 7 months old. I feel so guilty and bad for him because since being pregnant my motivation and energy levels are non existent which means we barely leave the house unless it's to go to the supermarket. What's worse is that he's such an awful sleeper, still up minimum of 5 times a night and has recently reverted back to only napping for 40 minutes at a time. So yeah, I feel like the walking dead. Am I a bad mum for not going out with him more? I definitely feel like one

I wouldn't feel bad. He's only 7 months old so all he wants is to be with you and won't care if it's indoors or outdoors.

Pregnancy is hard so do what you need to do to get through it. How far along are you? If you're still in the first trimester you can plan things to do with him in the second trimester when you feel a bit better.

Yeah still in my first trimester, I'm 9 weeks now. Planning on taking him to the local park when I have more energy and if gets more towards spring time!

The mega bonus of having two so close together is he won’t remember having you all to himself and later on the toddler guilt Wink
As PP said he just wants you. You may feel better for small amounts of fresh air though-even round the block. Hope you feel better soon.
