Feeling very emotional

Due any day now with my second little girl and feeling very emotional and overwhelmed after a failed sweep. I feel like I’m really struggling to give my eldest everything she needs because I’m so exhausted and then I feel guilty that she is so needy but she’s still only 20 months so she deserves to want her mummy but I can’t carry her all the time or play with her like I’ve always done. I’ve finished work and so feel like I’m just sat with my emotions and thoughts and that’s not good for me. I’m crying multiple times a day for no reason whatsoever and I feel like everything anyone says is winding me up. I just feel so down and emotional and like I’m not handling the end of this pregnancy well at all. My first little girl came 2 weeks early so I didn’t have this waiting around last time and I just don’t know what to do with myself at all! Got my second sweep today and hoping and praying it does something because I can’t sit any longer responding to people asking if I can feel anything yet! Sorry for the rambling rant, I just needed to get it all off my chest 😭

I’m in exactly the same position, our little girl is 18 months and has a big personality. My parents have come down to help and take her out but I feel guilty and struggle with back pain and sickness. My first sweep has failed, due another tomorrow x

@Katrina I’m glad it’s not just me I just feel guilt constantly. My mum normally has my daughter on a Friday anyway but because I’m off and no sign of baby she’s said she will have her for a few hours and bring her back and I was annoyed because I’m so tired and then I feel guilty because she’s my daughter and I should be looking after her. I just can’t give myself a break at all

I’m exactly the same with my little one! I feel so awful and so guilty. He’s only just 19 months and he needs me and I feel I’m failing x

I know what you mean, I’m a stay at home mum so usually have her full time other than 2 days at nursery. This week they took her out Monday and have taken her out again today. Feels empty without her but I had a midwife appointment today and wasn’t fair to take her. Managed to get sweep done today rather than tomorrow so hope this works
