We spent the first 3-4 months me just sitting on the couch watching telly all day. If i was having a bad day with morning sickness we laid in bed all day. Some days i took her to the local shopping centre and sat and watched her play at the playground or letting her run around outside. I wasn't very hands on but i was so nervous that this bub wouldnt stick.
As for silly things, ive done the carrying toddler and bags of groceries or lugging stuff on a bus and running for buses.. really did regret it a day later!
We as mums do what we can and what gets things done!
Unfortunately I think its impossible to really get a LO to understand why mummy can't do everything she used to. With this pregnancy I was still having to carry the kids at some point.
Like LMS, we had far too much tv on my really bad days, but most of the time you just have to do what you can, rest when you can and take any help on offer.
