Moms with toddlers

Kristin

Hey ladies,

I’m looking for some encouragement. It’s so hard to get the energy to play with my daughter (20 months) while I’m this pregnant. After she wakes up in the morning and we have breakfast, I can play with her for about two hours before I’m exhausted. I’ve been resorting to the TV for the next two hours before it’s lunch time, then her nap time. I’ve also been turning on the tv in the late afternoons before dinner because I just don’t have any energy left. Luckily my husband takes over in the evenings after work.

I hate how much TV I’m letting her watch throughout the day (2-4 hours a day), but I just don’t see how to do it being this fatigued in the 3rd trimester. Any advice? Anyone feel the same?
