Feeling awful

So my first was 18month when I got pregnant with my second. And I felt the same, he was wild, I was constantly tired, I was getting up in the night with him and I would get pangs of guilt for having another baby and having to share my time. The exhaustion never got better I'm sorry to say, it actually got worse, my boys feral behaviour got worse as he got closer to 2 as well. It is so tough. I felt so guilty the night before my scheduled section, I put my biggest to bed for the last time as an only child, knowing the day after I was going to have his brother and be sleeping in hospital away from him and my heart broke. I just cried as I put him to bed. But I don't feel that guilt now. My beautiful boys are so wild, they feed off of each others behaviour, it's insane, I'm still exhausted. But my heart is so full and I just melt when I see them play together ❤️ Hang in there. It never gets easier, but it's so worth it x

It’s really hard especially that first trimester plus toddler challenges! Hopefully you’ll feel better as pregnancy progresses and some of the toddler issues tend to pass before another set comes!

I’m currently 36+5 with my second and also have a feral 16 month old 😂 the first trimester was horrendous and I was sick multiple times a day until 18 weeks! It really does get easier in the middle but I am really struggling now heavily pregnant with a toddler. I have had so much mum guilty my whole pregnancy, you’re not alone there! xx

@Amey I'm nearly 17 weeks now and I just did not expect the guilt to hit so hard! We weren't planning on a second so soon so once the shock of it wore off I'm constantly worrying about it being too soon. I know there's sooooo many pros to giving her a sibling but she's still so tiny. I'm glad that guilt has gone for you now, and I hope the exhaustion does one day too! (Maybe in 18 years?🤣) that gives me hope ❤️

@Sophie honestly as soon as I get the grips with her latest toddler phase another comes along 🤣 I think the hormones are having a massive influence over how I feel so hopefully it eases soon

@Beth I'm so glad I'm not the only one!!! I'm nearly 17 weeks now so I'm hoping the sickness and general fatigue eases up soon because I think thats the main issue making me more emotional!! Although running around after a toddler when I get heavily pregnant is something I don't want to think about 🫣

I have a 6 week old and a 16 month old and i really struggled with my pregnancy with my second especially after 2nd trimester i was so tired and had back pain, and i always felt so guilty that i was so tired and couldn't play with my son as much as i did before, being pregnant is exhausting but being pregnant with a toddler is 10x worse!!
