Feeling fed up

[Indierose22]

Hey this is my first post. I'm currently 36 weeks pregnant and have a nearly 3 year old and tbh I'm struggling during lockdown. I can't get out much so feel huge guilt for my toddler. I'm constantly bored even tho I'm running around after him yet I don't have the energy to do as much as I usually do. I feel huge and uncomfortable and sleeping on the sofa I feel like I'm running on zero right now I don't feel like myself and feel so isolated. My husband works full time. Just need to see if anyone feels the same during this time.

I can but sympathise. I'm 30 weeks and dd (22 months) is babysat by the telly FAR too much these days. I'm just... knackered. Pgp also means she can move faster than me so I'm scared of taking her out cause that girl can move! And if she ran and something happened... I can't even. So we stay in a lot. There's only so many times she wants to play in shaving foam or throw pasta on the floor...

I don't have a toddler to run after, but at 35 weeks I feel knackered most of the time, so heavy can't do much! I've 0 energy level and the simplest of task is enough to make me exhausted! I can only just about imagine what it's like with a toddler in the mix!

Also 36 weeks minus the toddler and just feel drained... everything is an effort! I feel you!

Thank you it's really hard plus I'm toilet training him which he's doing well at just feel so guilty also nervous how a new baby will impact our bond we have.

I’m nearly 36 weeks with a 5 and 3 year old, we are lucky we can still send them to nursery and school as we are both key workers but my current input with the children is vv little. I’m very lucky my husband is amazing and is picking up the slack, particularly at weekends when they actually want to do stuff. I’m pretty useless right now, I’m not even doing bedtimes, we usually take it in turns, same with getting up at the weekends.

When I had my second I finished work at 38 weeks and had to get my parents to help as I couldn’t manage to look after the 18 month old on my own, I just wanted to lay down. I was actually more rested going to work than on maternity leave with an 18 month old to look after!

@TooManyDinosaurs1 wow you sound like you had a hard time good job you had some help. I wish I did. I do everything I don't have family near by and also due to covid its very hard I want to sleep but my son doesn't have any naps anymore. Luckily my mother in law is coming to have him whilst I'm in hospital which will be good she's allowed luckily as its childcare support bubble.
