How to be a parent with a toddler???

[Becks0812]

I have an almost 3 year old - he’s my world. However, I also suffer with anxiety and I’m really struggling trying to keep baby happy and safe and keep my toddler happy and safe.

For example, my son just isn’t picking up there’s a baby in my tummy be careful…

Popped to the park today and with his dirty soily maybe even poo of some sort (he had a few tantrums rolling around in the wet grass) hands catches me off guard tying his shoe laces and proceeds to put his dirty finger in my mouth…

Like how am I meant to avoid scary bacteria, tummy bashes, heavy lifting etc with a toddler who is anything but sensible lol

Heeeelllpp meeeee

You don't unfortunately... I have 2 toddlers and I'm a human trampoline apparently

You cant avoid it, dont worry too much xx women have had children since dawn of time its only now we cant do this and that and scared of bacteria...

Yes agreed, it’s part of being pregnant when you have older children. My 2.5yr old jumped with 2 feet onto my bump (misjudged a jump off the arm of the sofa) which freaked me out at the time but was all fine. Now it’s the wee one who jumps on the bigger ones head if anything so that’s karma I guess!! Sorry you are feeling anxious but I’d be surprised if there were many examples of serious injury to babies in utero by older siblings.
