4 days late . . .

Comment Published at 01:2801:286 comments6 comments31 Visits31 VisitsReport

Well I've been tossing up whether or not to say anything but I'm going crazy here. I'm 4 days late so I seem to have skipped a period unless it's just coming really really late (mine come like clockwork), I am SO emotional and moody, I'm getting killer headaches, I'm always starving and now I've started cleaning because I feel like it (what the?).

I'm not sure whether to be happy or scared or a bit of both. I know I'd be disappointed if I took the test and it came back negative but I would also feel SO relieved. And if it came back positive I'd be happy but then I would be crapping myself!! I've always wanted a second baby but I just don't feel the timing is right. I'm only just starting to get back on track with everything and catch up on all my jobs that have been put to the side for the past year or so.

Does everyone feel like this when they find out they are pregnant? Even if they were trying for a baby? We weren't trying and we only had "relations" once using contraception so I'm trying to figure out how it is even possible . . Does everyone get this confused??

And how does one look after a toddler while being pregnant? My son is SO much hard work as is and if I am pregnant and it's anything like my first pregnancy then I'm in for a hell of a ride. The morning sickness was horrible!!!!!!!!! And I was just starting to try for my licence again - how am I supposed to have driving lessons with all day sickness??? It would be good if there was no sickness though because that's actually the only thing I'm scared of hahahaha!! And we've already bought all the baby stuff from when we were going to start trying before so everything's all organised, I'm just scared . . .

Plus two of the other Mum's in my Mother's group are pregnant and I was just a little bit jealous so this must mean that I secretly want a baby!! Oh I don't know!!! I wanted four kids so I don't know if this is just hormones doing this to me or not!!

Argggh someone please enlighten me!!

Hun, take some deep breaths!  If you are pregnant, then you will find ways to cope.  I did, and 3 of mine weren't exactly planned.  Yes, I had all those concerns too about looking after a toddler (or several! lol) while being pregnant, but I managed it, even when my partner was absent for about 3 months, I still managed it.

Pregnancy is a scary time, but just go with things.  Panic and celebrate away, because you are going to, no matter what we say! lol.

Do the test, you know you want to ;)

Re: 4 days late . . .

Hey Arna!! Well my period came in the end which was a little disappointing but I was also very relieved at the same time. I want another baby but not until I've at least started to work on getting my licence because the depression I suffer is mostly due to isolation and if I find being stuck at home with 1 baby hard, then I knew I'd be in for it if I had 2 and no licence.

But thank you for your advice, I never knew that other Mum's were scared about falling pregnant while they had a toddler to look after - I thought it was just me!! I'd be really really happy if I fell pregnant again but I think no matter what I will be terrified haha!! How did you deal with the morning sickness while looking after your other children? That's the main thing I'm scared of  . . haha . .

Love Samantha xox

Re: 4 days late . . .

Awww it doesnt sound like you are ready to be pregnant again hun. Well i myself know wat it was like to be pregnant and have a child starting to be a toddler. Ella was around 6 months old when i fell pregnant with Mia she was a toddler by 12 months. She has been active since she could bum shuffle and has so much to say. Mia is too very active so at the moment two toddlers active together and pretty much killing each other is bloody hard work. But at the end of the day they are best of friends. Baby's are easy to look after its when they become a toddler so id say you would be just fine hun as betime the second one is a toddler Jessie will be alot older and easier to handle.

Love ya

Kell

Re: 4 days late . . .

Yeah I definitely don't think I'm ready yet either. I want to be - but I'm not. If I had my driver's licence I probably would prefer to be pregnant but it's so isolating with Jesse, I just can't imagine what it would be like with 2 kids and no transport!! YIKES!! Although I wanted my kids fairly close together, with my mental health problems resurfacing not so long ago I thought it was best to concentrate on just me for now. Ever since I've been working with the social worker and making an effort to go out my mood has improved dramatically so I'd be worried that if I fell pregnant my mood would drop again. And yeah as you can probably tell from all my ranting, I am very confused and stressing a lot LOL!! I've started spotting but if it doesn't get any heavier I'll take a test on Saturday. The only other thing I can put down lack of period to is me being so underweight but that usually hasn't stopped it before!! Crap Crap Crap haha!!

Love you too Kell!!

Yes, I think pregnancy is one of those things that can have you thinking and feeling so many things at once - excitement, disappointment, fear, anxiety - you name it...  Being pregnant with a toddler is hard, but you kind of muddle through it somehow - I guess you just have to...  And it is so worth the crazy ride!

Re: 4 days late . . .

Aww thank you for writing to me! I'm so glad to know that it's not just me who feels this way. I know the ride is worth it - just holding your little one in your arms at the end of it all is priceless!! Plus I love my son! But boy will I be terrifed if it comes back positive ~ a toddler and a baby hahaha!!
