Pregnant Again?!?!?!? - Waconia,MN

Regardless of whether or not you're pregnant, it sounds like you don't really want to be! Maybe it's time to visit the issue of vasectomy or tubal ligation -or an IUD if you don't want more surprises. If you are pregnant, then tell hubby that about 2 months before you deliver, it's the perfect time for a vasectomy. OR, if you have a history of c-sections, you could request a tubal at delivery. Good luck with everything regardless of what the test shows!

Frankly I personally am VERY impressed that you and your guy are actually having SEX with all that's going on in your life!! That suggests you all got a good thing and you CAN handle more. (Well you HAVE to I guess!)

At the risk of being heavy, my interpretation of the Meaning of Life is this...

You use your STRENGTHS to better the world, you use your WEAKNESSES to better yourself.....

Clearly you are a CHAMPION OLYMPIC caliber lady, with a HUGE rich life, and an excellent sense of humor!

I think you're gonna pull it off!!

It's a blessing. Some women can't have kids.

Take a PT. Quit wigging out until you know for sure, because you cannot control the unknown. If you're pregnant, decide what you want to do. We live in a free country, and you have choices. If you aren't, you may want to think about birth control. I personally have an IUD, Mirena to be exact, and I LOVE it. You only get it changed every 5 years and it's awesome not to have to take a pill every day. The only problems I have had are blessings: lighter, shorter periods, and less cramping. I even love the side effects! So calm down, take some deep breaths, and take a pregnancy test. One step at a time. Good luck!

Are you aware of what causes this? :-)

You'll be fine. Calm down.

you will for sure be busy for awhile. try to stay relaxed, take care of you, spend quality time having fun with your husband and enjoy your time with your kids. I have five kids. They are more spread out than yours but my two oldest are 18 months apart and they're about to graduate from HS. It's a bitter sweet time for me. I've so enjoyed them all these years although in the beginning, I thought I'd go insane having two little ones to run after. Now they're all growing up too fast. =) Good luck!

Take a test and then freak out. If your not, no need to worry. If you are, you will get through it.

My sister has 12 children and one on the way. I have always been deeply involved in the lives of my neices and nephews. The first 5 lived with me for years then lived with me some more. Right now 2 are in my custody.

Long story short is children are a blessing. Relax. You do have help and that is so important.

Honestly I have say raing more is definitely easier than raising less. It forces you to be more on top of things. They won't always be little. Our oldest is 22 while the youngest is 1.

You'll be just fine try to enjoy the experiences.

I dont have any advice...just hang in there. its not easy being a mom. i had 3 kids in 6 yrs and that was hard. now my youngest is 4 1/2yrs and I feel I can see the light at the end of tunnel.

I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.
Sometimes when I am having a crazy day..I say to myself this too shall pass.

I have a 4 kids, ages 7, 5, 4, and 2. The youngest 3 are boys the oldest is a girl. It gets to be total chaos, but fun. The good out weighs the bad. I am def busy with them. But I love it. I see other moms mentioned the iud for you, but I have a story for you about that. My 4 y/o was soppose to be my last, dr didn't want to do a tubal so and i didn't want anything w hormones in it bc of headaches. So he mentioned this great iud that is good 4 10 years and is just as good as having a tubal. Well, about a year after i got the iud, when my son was 13 months old i found out i was pregnant! Don't get me wrong, my youngest son is a blessing and i love him very much, I am so happy the iud failed, but I was scared when i found out. Now though i find with 4 kids there is no 3rd wheel The 2 younger ones play together and the older 2 play together. So there are perks to have an even number.

"Irish Twins" are really common in my family. Most of us are fertile again the same month the baby is born (and yes, we also all exclusively breastfeed... ignore those who say it works as birth control, it only works for some).

I'm not allowed to have any more (I only have 1), but there's a saying in my family:

2 is 4 times the work of 1, not double.
3 is crazy making, but half the work of 2
4 is a relief, because 4 and up it's easier with every child (because instead of burdens kids become great helps... the more kids the easier with #4)
