I am 34 expecting my 4th, I am 18 weeks pregnant.  This one has left me exhausted all the time.  I do rely on my hubby to do alot more than he use to, but for both of us me keeping healthy and the baby safe is our first priority.  Keep eating well and drinking plenty of fluids.

I'm expecting  my third, I have 2 boys just turned 3 & 21months, I've had lots of cramping. My cervix looks great, Dr. says it's just because I'm very busy with the boys. I make sure to stay very hydrated & if the cramps start up I lie down or sit down for a few minutes.

I'm right there with you. I have a 4 year old daughter, a 2 1/2 year old daughter, and a 1 year old son and am 27 weeks along. My doctor told me that it's not uncommon for women who are on their 4th pregnancy to start having these problems. She suggested I try a maternity belt that's supposed to support your stomach and to cut down on housework. Other than that we need to get as much help as we can from family and friends. I'm having cramping just sitting down, so I'm starting to rely more on my two older kids to help fetch and carry. I'm just counting down the days when my mother and mother-in-law get here to help with the new baby and other kids.
