hi i am a mother with 3 children one 9 months one 2 and one 4 i love children and i was just settling in to a routine with all 3 children and i woke up this morning and cant stop being sick, i cant stand smoke or food smells i love children could i be pregnant, i am not late yet but have all the symptoms what can i do. i dont believe in abortions but how will i handle 2 pregnancys in one year, plus b4 my first daughter i lost quads. i am looking for any advice at all.
dont panic. so far I had the same problem (plus I was late) just opening the fridge made me sick for an hour and both times I had tests and they were negative. just get tested and you will know no need to panic one way or the other.
First of all my friend DONT PANIC.And get tested for pregnancy asap. and third DONT PANIC. you can email me if u like just to go throught the pros and cons in private if u like ,always a willing shoulder/eye/ear if needed.
I must agree that the transition fromraising three children to four was much easier than the transitions from two to three. In fact I found I had more spare time when my fourth was born than I had ever had when I had one! In fact I totally enjoyed the first three months of the last ones life and was a little sad I hadn't been in the same frame of mind for the others.
I don't know how it works but I think it is that you relax more and take things in your stride. Besides isn't multi tasking every woman's specialty?
Hi, don't worry to much about it until you really know more facts - sometimes you can worry yourself into more symptoms - the body has a very strange way of working! Wait until your period is due or overdue and do the test and see what it tells you first. I think that for you to have already had 3 children is a great effort and you would most certainly survive with another one! I think going from 2 to 3 is harder than 3-4 (this is what my mother tells me and she had 5!). Take it easy and see what the facts tell you! You will be alright!
Hi there,I agree with nearly every one here,try not to worry(easier said than done I know)I am sure if you are pregnant you will find a way to cope,we always do as Mums we are so strong and on the days we slip a bit there is always some-one to help.So I reckon run out get that test,the earliest at detecting you can.This way you know where you stand and can go from there.Our thoughts are with you regards Merle
First sweetie, calm down it may not be just what you think it is. Perhaps it;s too early to know for sure but possibilities have to be considered. First you must be quite a mother to be managing three littlies and your sad happening. Abortions aren't the answer for many because of the psychological consequences so first off, go and see a competent doctor, one you respect and whose opinions you value (or get referred to a professional counsellor). Believe in yourself and know in your heart that you can take courses of action by talking to the right people that will put YOU in charge. Somehow when things seem desparate, if you take the initiative yourself, another way seems to present itself or the worry you feared does not materialise. Have faith in yourself and your abilities and see what time produces, then go seek help and advice from your doctor or whoever he refers. Your do not need to suffer or worry alone- we all care.
Dear Desperate Help, If you are not late yet, you could just be stressing about the fact that you might be expecting and you don't know how you will cope if you are. Worrying will make you sick, also there are so many Bugs going around at the moment, you might just have one of those. My advise would be to just carry on with your normal routine as much as you can, then what ever happens will happen, you will cope. You sound like you are a stronge person to be dealing with 3 children already, but just don't forget that there is a lot of help out there, so I think you will be fine. All the best and just keep in contact on line, thats what we are here for. P.S. just try keeping to dry food and not too many dairy products.
There is a new pregnancy test out that you can take 5 days before your periods are due.
I was never sick during my pregnancy however some things i couldn't stand the smell of and they'd make my tummy turn!
Maybe if you have a chat to a womans health nurse, one of them would be able to support you and help with making decisions?
I'm sorry, I don't think I'll be able to help much. I didn't get sick at all with my little boy. But of course it is an obvious sign of pregnancy for alot of people.
If it does end up being that you are pregnant again, it will all be fine. I believe it is good to have your children born close together, they seem to relate to each other alot more. Also because you've been though it all before you should be able to keep the weight under control a little easier than the first time (because you know what to expect), If there's not too many really bad cravings that is.
I would say you are pregnant when i was pregnant i still had everything normal so go to the doctors and get checked out you will be fine with 1 more kid if your kids are in a routine you will be right to raise 1 more because kids in a routine they are easier to look after.
I sometimes still am sick in the mornings, I think it is from my body being freaked out over the last time I was pregnant! Just kidding, but I do still get sick for no reason, and my nose has not returned to normal! I still smell stuff others dont! So dont worry, it wont do you or your children any good. If you are late get a test, but wait a week before you do. I beleive things have gotten easier with each child I have. Good luck.
