I feel so guilty - Pregnancy and toddlers!

I am 38 weeks pregnant and I feel so guilty today. We haven't done anything all day, not even been out anywhere. I wasn't feeling too great this morning, having a few pains etc. I just feel completely shattered.

I know CBeebies is ok in moderation, but all day is a bit excessive. She has watched so much Peppa Pig today! Although to make up for it we were playing with Play Doh for an hour in the kitchen, but I still feel so guilty. She is being so good, but I just feel its a bit unfair, its not even like we can go out in the garden.

Yesterday we went swimming and the day before I was running around after her at the park for an hour and half, so she has been busy, just not today.

 I don't even have the energy to sit on the floor and play with her. I may get some of her new toys out soon, just to give her something to get excited about.

Tomorrow my Mum is around so she may spend the day with her and I can have a rest. I also have so much housework to do and H is on shift and isn't home until 8.15 tonight.

Tell me this is completely normal, the guilt is really getting to me. 

Well my LO has watched loads of Peppa Pig today and I'm not even pregnant! He is ill though.  I can't see how once in a while will hurt.  And you need your rest!

Of course it's normal!  My friend dropped off a new Peppa DVD for Daisy on Monday and she's never had it off.  She asks for it as soon as she wakes and watches it until we go out, then it's right back on when we get home.  I have tried to play games and get her to do other things but she is obsessed!!!

Take the rest while you can get it, as you will have your hands full when the baby arrives!

She sounds like she's had loads on and what's a few days of TV in her whole life?

she's probably happy as Larry to get a day of tv tbh so don't feel guilty.  I am also worried about this though and am considering keeping my LO in full time nursery until the birth as i am exhausted already and i'm only 24 weeks

Good idea about new toys - any friends nearby with similar age children who you could visit?

I feel exactly the same way. I'm 34+4 with twins and am running out of  energy by the day.

We go to groups on Tues, Wed and Thurs mornings and would  usually do something after them i.e park, swimming etc but I've not been able to do that for the last couple of weeks and although we've still been managing to get to our groups I  still feel guilty about not doing an afternoon activity.

I do try and do floor games like jigsaws and building blocks etc but can only really manange half an hour at a time... I find that lots of pillows on the floor helps.

We've had days where the tv is on a lot too... The guilt is awful.

How old id your wee one? D is 17 months and still has a nap in the day so this week I've been having a lie down at the same time but it hasn't really helped to be honest.

Sorry no advice here, just wanted you to know that  you're not alone!

Thanks all, L is 22 months and still has a nap, which I did sleep for some of it.

She is also obsessed with Peppa Pig and would watch it all day if I let her. Luckily, we have a few recorded on Sky+.

It is so hard trying to find activities to keep her busy but that don't involve me chasing her around everywhere.
