Pregnant Again!!!

I had restless leg syndrome with my second until I read on one of the pregnancy websites that a major cause of that during pregnancy is lack of calcium. I drank more milk/ate more cheese and it helped immensely. I hope that helps you too. And next week should see us back in the 40s, so hopefully that will help you out in the car and all. It's frustrating when you're super toasty and the rest of the family is ice cold, isn't it?! Best wishes to you. Congratulations on your surprise pregnancy. I'm sure your husband understands. : )

Hi J.,
I read that you have RLS. Man what a pain. I got that when I was pregnant with my duaghter. It never went away like the told me it would. It drives me almost nuts. It used to be really bad at night and not so much in daytime. Now its all the darn time.
I take a hot bath with lavendar salts and that seems to calm mine for the night.
I don't know what I would do in your shoes. I am just not ready for another baby. I think if someone told me I was having a nother right now I would totally freak.
I work full-time, go to school part-time, and I have a 21/2 year old daugher. A husband that helps only when he feels like it or he wants to show off to his family about what a great dad and husband he is. RIGHT!!!
Hang in there and I wish you well. Good luck.

Hey.. I sympathize with you. I just found out I am pregnant again with my 3rd child. I have been stressing all week myself. I didnt plan on having anymore. Good luck, drop me a line if you want to chat. C.

wow can i ever relate, i got pregnant with my 3rd at 21, when my boys were 3 and 2 and i was scared out of my mind, but you get through it, you learn how to do it all with one more baby and really the transition from one to two kids was harder than the transition from 2 to 3, you are already used to multitasking, getting a sipy cup or a snack for the big one while you get a bottle for baby, entertaining a toddler with a baby on your lap, running around like crazy at nap times trying to get everything done, hopeing baby learns to sleep through all the noise of a toddler and that the toddler will sleep all night even if baby doesn'tand i knwo how overwhelming it all sounds but it is things that you arew already doing and you can contiue to do them, you'll have to even if you weren't expecting again, so good luck, you will figure it all out you really will, i have 2 step kids now and i don't think it is any different than when it was jsut me and 3 kids. take care and do your best to unwind and relax, you'll get through this

Jennifer,

ALl I can say is CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Four days before Christmas I found out I was pregnant with our second child, which would have made my chidlren 18 months apart. I was cranky from being tired and not feeling well, and then scared I couldn't handle two under two in diapers. Then on February 9th I had a miscarriage, and now I just feel completely empty. I miss the being sick, and the tired because at least it was all going to be for a good reason! I hope you embrace this and focus only on the good it is going to bring! ONE BEAUTIFUL NEW LOVING BABY! CONGRATULATIONS again! Just take deep breaths and relax.
