Any tips for managing morning symptoms while also chasing an active 2 year old?
Happy to have the symptoms and that things are progressing in this pregnancy, but holy cow - dealing with exhaustion and nausea while SAHM'ing with a toddler is rough.

No advice but just wanted to say this is what I'm afraid of as well! not pregnant with number 2 yet, but I'm terrified of what first trimester with a crazy active toddler will be like. I hope someone will have some good advice for you!

Following, hoping that someone has tips! My LO is just 14 months, but he recently started walking and now while awake he does not stop moving, ever. I'm exhausted! Is it awful that I wish he was interested in screen time? I wouldn't be at all opposed to half an hour of Sesame Street or something, just so I could lay on the couch, but he has no interest.

Yeah it's been hard. Being pregnant with a toddler basically sucks. I SAH too, though he goes to school 1-2x a week. My son is also 2 and he's go go go. There are days where I lay on the floor while he plays. I actually find that the days that we get dressed right away and get out of the house are better. If we stay home all morning I focus more on how I'm feeling. I'm 10.5 weeks and hoping things will improve in the next few weeks.

@winniebee: same - I SAH and my 2 year old goes to class twice a week. The rest of the days I make sure to get out of the house in the morning so I'm distracted from how I'm feeling. I lay down a lot in playroom while she plays too. And I just learned to let the house go and we ate a lot of take out in the early weeks. And I napped when she napped in the early weeks. Even now at 13 weeks I will make myself lay down for the last half hour of her nap. I don't think there's much to do except wait out the nausea and exhaustion. Around 12 weeks is when things started to improve a lot.
