I'm going out of my mind. I knew going on maternity was the right thing to do as I was becoming increasingly clumsy and dangerous. Just by how little I can manage now tells me I wouldn't have coped at work any longer at work then I did. But I can't help but miss being active

Ive had spd since 30 weeks, had previously fallen down the stairs at 24 weeks and some how managed to pull my back 3 different times throughout the whole of my pregnancy before opting to go on early.maternity at 33weeks.

Since going on early maternity, I've become less and less active. The more I do the more pain I'm in and the worse I seem to be.

My days are filled with house work, keeping my adorable but very active little boy entertained and cooking, he does still attend nursery for a few hours twice a week. We kept him going as he is very sociable and needs the time away from me to play with children his own age and have some freedom out of the house.

On days he's not at nursery we try to get out the house to either do food shopping, trips to the park, or a small stroll to the shop for something to do. We play in the garden when weather permits, he helps me clean and tidy also. We are very arts and crafty, we do painting, homemade play dough, sticking and glueing, junk modeling etc.

Other then housework and my son, I'm bored out my brain. Sometimes it feels like my son is trying to entertain me and there's only so much of me he can take
He enjoys playing alone, with his toys and sometimes in his bedroom reading his books and doing his puzzles. I'm so bored. I can't sleep on a night from being uncomfortable and frustrated
I'm not over reacting I literally had two hours sleep last night and that's when I put my lb to bed at half 6 and my oh woke me at half 8 t ask if I wanted any tea. I was awake for the rest of the night :( so I'm short tempered, impatient and snappy. No body likes a moody pg women. My oh tries taking my lb out when he finishes work either to visit family.or to the park if I haven't managed to get out. But that leaves me alone and still with nothing to do

I'm not.looking for any sympathy or suggestions. Just need somewhere to vent. I don't want my family thinking I'm not coping or walking on egg shells around me
If I don't get this out there I might explode from boredom.
 
Could you take up a hobby? When I was pregnant with my 2nd I'd knit if I got free time in the evening (I'm such an old lady :haha:). I know other ladies do on-line surveys for something to do and a little extra cash, and adult colouring books are pretty popular.
 
I've been a SAHM for 2 years and I feel your boredom!! Yes I am very lucky to stay at home with the kids but honestly I miss people interaction and conversation! I miss driving to work and being alone. I do the same thing as you, day in and day out so I feel your pain, haha. All I can say is try to enjoy it as it will go by quickly. Thank God for the Internet is all u can say!!
 
I'm a sahm this is my life, luckily apart from the odd bang my head against the wall in boredom day I love it.
I think big difference is I have a mum's network, so if we have nothing going on I'll text them all until someone is free to meet up down the local park! So I get much needed adult time and he plays with his friends. I do this most days so it's rare we don't meet up with someone. I also take him to playgroups and classes like music to get out the house.
On the days I can't take any more choo choo/duck feeding/book reading nana or granny step in and take him for the day!
Hope you find something fun to do!
 
I have made so much for new baby sewing, crocheting, can't knit unfortunately, bunting, tagged, I don't know how but I'm bored of that now
I can't walk far and all my friends are either working or live to far away and expect me to meet half way which is becoming impossible. I have made a few plans for next week now which has cheered me up. I'm so used to being on the go all the time that this sitting and doing nothing is killing me.

Btw I would love to be a sahm. But I only generally get to socialise when I go to work and I love my job.
