Could I have a ppp?
I don’t know really where to start….but I find myself crying as I’m writing this post;
I have a beautiful daughter and I’m pregnant with my 2nd; these last few weeks have been pretty rough on me as my lo is unwell and we have had many nights awake where she cries and can’t seem to settle;
I’m beyond tired and my oh sleeps in a separate room and shuts the door so he doesn’t have to hear her cry;
Today I have felt so ill that I made him look after our child while I tried to rest and feel better….
My mother had a fight with me earlier calling me selfish for trying to rest and has said that just because I’m pregnant I’m neglecting my first born!!!! I love my child more than life itself…I have one day where I needed to rest because I’m so worn out and emotional and I get called a bad parent and that I’m neglecting my child!! There is more to this story but now I can’t sleep…she is fed, clothed, loved, played with but my mother’s comments have hurt me and is making me doubt myself as a mother
I haven’t neglected my child at all…she has been with me when my Oh needed to do something and it’s really upset me; all because I wanted to rest! Tia

  • Don’t be silly you are being a Mummy. There is nothing wrong with needing a rest ur pregnant and ill and ur little one has also been ill and up all night. I have 3 and I need the help when one is ill because it’s so hard looking after a sick child never mind having no sleep and being pregnant. Just try and rest and mind your doing amazing and ur little one is happy ur only in bed if they need you. Xxxx

  • Personally I would tell your mum to mind her own business and not to speak to you that way, your entitled to rest,it don’t make you a bad parent,

  • Awww I am sorry you feel this way & that your mum even said that to you. You are not neglecting your child at all! Looking after a child is tiring enough as it is, never mind doing it pregnant! Furthermore you need your rest, not just for yourself & the baby you are carrying but also for your daughter! She deserves a well rested & happy mummy…happy mummy=happy baby! Ignore your mum (I know it’s hard), & maybe when you feel up to it talk to her & tell her how you feel & that it’s not ok to say things like that to you. I am sure you are doing an amazing job & you are not a bad mum/neglecting your child! Hope you got the rest you needed, & you’re feeling better & your little one is feeling better x
