Hi
@Lincolnsmummy and welcome.
Sorry to hear things are as tough as they sound at the moment. Pregnancy can be such a hard time, and having a 2 and a half year old as well is a big load! I had a similar gap between two of mine and it was a struggle at times. The tiredness, sickness, discomfort, hormones etc that can come with pregnancy, plus the responsibility of looking after a 'ball of energy' (2 1/2 olds can be so full on) - it's a hard mix. There were so many days that all I wanted to do was rest, and that was the last thing that the little person/people in the house wanted to do.
I think there are lots of women who find themselves struggling through it, and lots (myself included) who questioned how they would cope once a baby arrived.
Have you ever spoken with PANDA before? They helped me a few times when I was struggling.
As you said, it can be so up and down, and I think it's really important to remember that it's ok not to feel like running around and doing everything you usually would/would like to. It's also ok to what you need to get through. (We spent so much time in the bath together as it was a guaranteed way of me being able to sit for a while without needing to chase a little one around, as an example).
Does he have a sleep during the day, or will he have some down time in the afternoon?
