i am currently in my third trimester of pregnancy with a 2 year old toddler. I am already so exhausted and finding it difficult to do things like keeping on top of house chores and entertaining my toddler, I don’t have the energy or mobility to keep up with it all anymore.
so I was just wondering will it get a bit easier after baby is born or harder?

I found things got easier but then my second was an easy baby.

I definitely found it easier once the baby was born. For starters I wasn’t heavily pregnant! And when you’re busy it’s easier to keep going sometimes isn’t it.

Plus the second time round I knew that everything was a phase, the sleepless nights and constant feeding and all the stuff that had stressed me out so much the first time round.

Its a lovely time, good luck!

Mine are 2 & 7 months, 18 months between them, and I definitely found it so much easier once my baby was here compared to the end of pregnancy. I did have a pretty smooth delivery which will have helped and my youngest has been quite an easy baby which again will have helped but for me definitely easier after being pregnant x

I've got 4 DCs.

Hardest stages imo are :
The last 3 weeks of preg. Feeling like a whale. Not comfy sitting, standing or laying. No sleep, and taking an hour to turn over at night.

The first 3 weeks of new morn. STILL worrying about your undercarriage, STILL no sleep and now also worrying about keeping this lovely little scrap of a thing alive and breathing.
