Well the birthday party is coming up quickly .... sunday afternoon is gonna be here before i know it and i can already feel my stress level increasing lol. My son is so excited its not even funny. Today i have a doctors appointment and then i plan on getting all the party supplies. I am currently trying to think of a bunch of games i can play with a group of 4 year olds, should be interesting.
I am experiencing ALOT of cramping this moring that has me worried, but i have a doctors appointment soon so i plan on asking her whats going on. Other than that i am still feeling great, real tired but cant complain i guess. How is everyone else feeling??

Hayley .... i wish your son a very happy birthday and i hope for a stress free day for you. To be honest it is nice to hear that you are miserable as well (i know that sounds horrible as i dont wish misery apon anyone), but it is comforting to know that i am not the only one. I cry alot to and sometimes for no reason, i can be in a great mood one minute and then a complete bitch the next. i am pretty sure it is driving my husband crazy. My son is great thou cause when i start to cry he always asks me if i am ok and wants to sit with me to make sure and is always giving me hugs and kisses so it makes me feel better. I have finally picked a day that i am going to be done work so can look forward to that. I have decided to finish at the end of March, which will give me April to get things ready and then baby will come early May ( i hope lol). Lets just remember that all this misery is going to be worth it when we get to meet out little babies. Hope today goes really well and is stress free.

hey alexandria i know exactly how u feel about ur other childs birthday my little man is 2 today and i have got the party today aswell and i know how stressful it is having to organise it all and that am just glad its today and will be finished with then i have nothing to worry about, i havent reli got owt for the new baby either i just to tired and exhausted to do owt i often feel faint and cry alot, i think my iron is low thou and i cant sleep at night which makes me upset all day as i got a very active 2 year old and hes my world and mummys jus so lazy latley it makes me cry lol. in my area you dont see the midwife as often and i think its wrong last time i had a check up was at 16 weeks other then my scan at 20 weeks i dont get to see her again until 2nd of march which i will be 28 weeks, its kinda rediciouls as i am feeling so low and crap all the time. i cant stand feeling like this much longer i got 14 weeks left and i will go insane if i dont feel any better. my unborn little boy is also very active kicks all the time i also get alot of cramp its horrible one time i couldnt even walk on my leg as i had the worst cramp ever. i just havent enjoyed this pregnancy one bit but i think with your first its not that bad as you havent got a child to look after but with your second youve got to look after your child and you jus havent got the energy. i hope may hurrys along so i can just get my hormones back to normal and feel a whole lot better :)

I stopped checking because nobody ever talks I check maybe once every couple weeks, I joined April 2010 babies because I'm due May 1st and have a feeling I'll be delivering before my dd, you guys should check that out even though some of you are due late in May it will give you a little insight as to whats coming and they have a more active community. So far my pregnancy has been GREAT no sickness just a little back pain and ankle swelling but that's normal I'm 29 weeks since Saturay and since I have an anterior placenta I've only just started feeling the baby on a daily basis in the last couple weeks and my goodness is he strong! We are having our second UC Baby appointment on March 6th and are really excited to see him again, my first visit was at 22 weeks and this next visit will be 32 weeks so the pictures will be amazing!

I agree, i just assumed things would pick up after we all have our babies, im 28 weeks as of last sunday (due on may 9th, mothers day :)) My daughter is 15 months now and she is keeping me quit busy, my pregnancy with her went perfectly after i got past the first 3 months of morning sickness... this one has been a tad more difficult, i start physical therapy next week because ive been having intense pelvic pain, not sure what to expect with that, i really hope it helps because work has been pretty much miserable... anyone else go through physical therapy?

i agree as well. I am almost 29 weeks (due May 5th) and getting really excited now. I feel worse all the time. I am getting really uncomfortable and having trouble sleeping. I have cramps all the time and sometimes they are so bad they almost bring tears to my eyes. My doctor said that there is nothing to worry about but told me to be real careful and monitor the cramping (which is like an all day chore lol). I still work full time and i am not sure when i should be stopping that. I have an almost 4 year old son, his birthday is in a couple of weeks (March 1st). I just want to have the party over with so that it will reduce the stress at the moment lol. I know that i will probably be having this baby early as the doctor has already warned me of that. I have nothing ready as we have been renovation the house. Renos are almost done so soon i will be able to get things ready for the baby. We are getting so close yet it still seems so far away and i cant seem to get my self motivated to get things done ..... anyone else experience this?

i think there will be more questions as our pregnancies gets closer to the end! Also when the babies are born.

i have a little boy and another little boy on the way so i know what its like to have a boy my little boys 2 on wednesday and hes very very active always on the go i mean he wakes up at 5 and stays awake all day til about half 6 i dont know how he does it because hes always on the go lol, but if i was having a girl i would understand how you feel about how it will change things because your used to having a girl around the house but if you ask me boys are so much loving then girls i have nieces and a nephew and my little ones always sitting with me giving me kisses and so is my nephew with his mummy its so cute :P. and kelly i was told i was suppose to have a c section with this one but i dont need one now but my sister had a baby 6 months ago and she had a c section and she was so weak couldnt even move for days and am glad i dont have to have one as i have a 2 year old and kno how much hard work it will be for you, i hope you do get to have a vbac but i know you dont wont to tear, pregnancy and birth is meant to be a wonderful thing but there are so many things that go on in your body sometimes you just cant enjoy it. i hope for the best for you. i worry to much with this pregnancy i dont kno why my first i just sailed through but this one has had its ups and downs but only 14 weeks and 3 days to go if i dont go over and il be glad to get my body back and meet my little bundle of joy. :)

I agree as well! I am 27w 4d with #3 and things are going good, starting to get real though. I have been feeling good as far as the pregnancy goes, but I have gotten several bugs from my 4 year old who started preschool this year, that has been tough!! My son was born vaginal and I had 4th degree tears so my doc suggested that I have a c-section for my daughter. I did, and did not like it! I am stuck deciding whether to have a repeat section or try a vbac. I would really like to have a vbac, but if I tear again the way I did with my 1st, I could end up with fecal incontinence and possibly surgeries to repair. I could also get away without tearing at all. C-section was a tough recovery and having a 4 and 2 1/2 year old at home makes it even worse. I guess I have the next 12 weeks to figure it out. Good Luck to you!
