I'm 38 weeks pregnant and have a 2 year old. I was feeling okay but the last few days, I seem to have hit a wall. Baby is VERY low and lying awkwardly so I'm extremely uncomfortable. I'm really struggling. My toddler has only just gone 2 and doesn't quite understand why I can't chase around after him etc. The house is a mess, and I'm doing the bare minimum. It doesn't help that he has recently started dropping naps so keeping him entertained all day is exhausting. I really need a lie down but he's a million miles an hour so even on the bed or sofa, he's climbing over me, wanting me to go somewhere with him. My partner is fab and takes over with DS as soon as he walks in from work, plus has started doing even more around the house. Before, we used to divide and conquer but now I'm leaving more and more to him. He doesn't mind and doesn't complain at all, but I just feel bad. I'm in bed by 7.30pm most nights.

Any tips/suggestions on how to manage for the next few weeks? I know I haven't got long left but trying to look after my son at the moment is haaaard, plus trying to keep the house in a semi Decent shape.

Anyone else in a similar situation that wants to join in? Misery loves company and all that... Smile

I’m 38+1 with a toddler who is 2 next month. I’m exhausted! Let’s just say that the iPad has been getting a lot more use over the past week or so than I’d usually allow.

I’ve done it this way before - my first 2 were 17 months apart and I can assure you that toddler + newborn is 100x easier than toddler + late pregnancy.

Tips:
If you have a pad or smart TV put cocomelon or the wiggles nursery rhymes on for LO mine love it they last between 30-40 mins and allow you to have a cuppa or do some chores
