How are you managing being pregnant with a toddler?

Question

My son gets up at 9am and by 12pm I can barely stay awake. He isn't in daycare and his father is at work. How do you stay awake ??

Answer

I am 19 weeks pregnant and my 2 boys are up by 7am everyday. I take one to school every weekday for 8.45am and stay at home with the other. I get tired days but I find when we keep busy I'm more awake. Your lucky he gets up at 9am id love too sleep that late! ?

Answer

I have tea with caffeine in it or I make my four year old lay down with me for thirty minutes. At the beginning of my pregnancy it took all my energy just to get to the toilet in time. Now at 39 weeks I have to tell him I need to slow down or we sit and talk for 15 minutes and then get up and keep going. We get errands done in the morning so the rest of the day we can stay at the house and play with Legos or work in his garden. But I move slow. And I keep my protein and iron up to help with drowsiness. If you have low iron you should start taking a supplement.

Answer

I have a 2&1/2 year old daughter and she wakes up at 5am-6am every morning I try to get her out the house around 10 so by 12 she's nice and played out and ready for a nap as well as I am ?

Answer

I stay home with my 2 1/2 year old! She hardly ever wants to take naps! Coffee is my friend in the morning since she gets up between 7-8. We do a lot of couch playing too! Lol I was nauseous day and night in the beginning.. Then I was in pain from a uti one week and the very next week the pain came back but a million times worse to the point where I took myself to the hospital. Pain was worse than labor. Doctors kept saying it was just uti pain and round ligament pain. I didn't sleep for like a week and could hardly get off the couch to take care of my daughter. My husband had to work so I had no choice but to suck it up. Luckily she was awesome for me! Now I'm much better but still no energy! Anyway! Staying busy, outdoors and maybe even some couch playing! There are days I can get her to play alone and I lay on the couch to just relax.. It's bad but I even close my eyes for a bit if I know she's safe.. It helps.. I know it's hard!!

Answer

Keep your self busy, I run a daycare with 3 toddlers and when I am sitting down I get very tired and makes everything I do seem a lot harder to do but if you keep your self doing anything it will help you get too tired, also try barracading meaning set up gates to give your self some quiet time and he/she will be able to play by thereself. Also try to get out of the house it will make time go by faster and will give you something  to do

Following. I have a feeling I might need some suggestions too:)

Answer

My son gets up anywhere from 530am to 630am every morning. I'm just used to it I guess...
