second time around...

Date written 30/06/2011 22:15:06

hi,
im bree my hubby and i have a three year old daughter and im currently 7 weeks pregnant with our second, i have been suffering bad morning sickness and even though its no where near as bad as it was with my daughter, its still horrible and i cant excatly rest all day long and leave the house work and cooking....this pregnancy was planned, however i did not expect to get bad morning sickness again and feel very unhappy about it, i just want my energy back so i can take my daughter to the park and play with her, she has been an angel helping me and letting me rest but i do feel bad about it, and some days i cant cook and clean while my hubby is out working hard which leaves me feeling horrible aswell, i know its going to be hard work with two children, but was wondering if anyone has any tips for me....and i just want to know if how im feeling is normal on the second pregnancy....
thanks.

Crying Babies

Date written 18/02/2011 19:46:53

My baby is now 9 weeks old and cries almost non stop every day from 11am til 7pm sometimes as late as 11pm. She also sleeps all night. I have been told contantly by other people that i should be thankful for her sleeping over night "you can deal with anything if you have a full nights sleep!" The truth be told, you can't deal with anything with just a full nights sleep. I am falling into the trap of PND and feel guilty for it due to getting 6-8 hours sleep every night.

I have a constant head ache from her constant crying...
I am constantly crying and feeling like a complete failure as a mother.....
My house looks like a bomb has hit it most days and i am normally so house proud...
To make matters worse i have a son in grade three and another son in three year old kinder. I have no time to myself, my husband has no patients and hates his job, so he comes home wanting sympathy everyday....
I have actually considered going back to work just to have time to myself :(


I just have no more to give.

Do not listen to others

Date written 18/08/2011 00:02:23

Hi,
I just wanted to say to all the expecting Mum's out there, please do not listen to other people's stories about their labour or such.
No one should tell any expecting mum's horror stories as we are all different, not one birth is the same as the next. Just relax as best you can, breath deep, be safe and cry happy tears.

I need a lil advice !

Date written 27/03/2011 10:56:50

I am 17 years old and just moved from New Zealand to Australia a few weeks ago. I have no idea how to start myself up here in Australia and im starting to get real conserned about how everything will progress with my baby. I wasnt ment to move here until i had given birth to baby in New Zealand, but my partner had moved here a week before myself an it was extreemly hard for me to stay back in New Zealand without my partner by my side. We are staying with members of his family and i dont know how to ask them on how assist me through. The lady of the house has had children of here own which i though would be a good thing. But its kinda isnt! I wish i had my mum by my side to guide me through all of this. I just want to go back to New Zealand so everthing will be so much easyer for myself and baby but my partner is working and he wount be able to come with me and see his first child be born. I have no idea on how the system of medical here works but i am sooo determined to know. I am 33 weeks pregnant and i really need to go see a doctor. I think because i dont have anything i will have to pay full price on every check-up i take. I totally do not mind but i just wish i knew how everything worked here. What would you say ?Move back to New Zealand until i have baby or seek help? If i do seek help, i kinda need a lil advice on what to do? Please help ? Any lil thing will help soo much (:
