Constantly feeling guilty

[Muddytoes1]

I’m due any day with number 2 and just feel guilty about everything. 3yo Dd just gone off to nursery with breakfast in the car as I didn’t get up early enough to feed her as was so tired, had to call dh (on speaker) abut something else and I could hear her crying in the background as she’d dropped it on the floor of the car. Its so silly but there are so many little things like this at the moment. I can’t play with her properly as can’t sit on the floor and even chatting to her feels exhausting. Dh is amazing and doing as much as he can and I feel like I’m just sat here on the sofa doing nothing for anyone feeling rubbish and useless. Anyone else feeling like this at the mo?

Hi OP, I didn't want to read and run. My DS2 is 8 months now and I felt just like you when I was near the end of my pregnancy with my DD1. It's just all your hormones, and I'm sure a lot of mums go through this so try not to beat yourself up.
I'm still breastfeeding DS and DD1 will ask for me to play with her but I can't whilst feeding (think hungry hippos!) I often feel guilty, but as soon as I'm finished I'll play wihh her and she's fine afterwards.
You'll get there I promise

Yes I'm feeling the same with ds who is 5.. feel like I'm not doing enough for him as my feet get sore when standing too long and get so uncomfortable when trying to sit on the floor with him. But overall I know he is happy, if I'm really struggling and need to lie down in bed due to back pains etc then I ask him to come up and I read to him which he loves.

Slightly different reasons but pregnancy related. I am 13 weeks pregnant with baby 4 and I have been so so tired and sick I feel awful my younger two haven't had as much mum attention as they usually get (eldest is a teenager and more time away from me and in her room the better)
It's half term here atm and so far we've been out twice! Once to go shopping for Easter crafts and once to visit their nan. No days out or play dates because I just can't face anything with this constant nauseous feeling and tiredness! My partner works and leaves at 8am and is usually home 5-6 ish so he does a lot in the evenings with them but I feel such mum guilt as usually in the holidays we do lots of lovely things together and go for days out and meet with friends.
I expressed to my mum in law the other day how I feel and she did make me feel better about not doing as much with them lately. She said it's not forever and it's true. She knows and I know they've been to some lovely places and had lots of mum fun and they will again....hopefully by the next school holidays I will be way passed this first trimester and back to the usual motivated fun mum again. Don't be too hard on yourself, pregnancy is bloody hard work for us mentally and physically and as my mum in law said it's not forever 🖤

Thanks so much for the responses, really does help knowing it’s not just me. Have cuddled myself up on sofa and put a dvd on and will try and have a nap later.
