Yes! I really admire you all who have more than one baby!

As you know this is my first pregnancy and I am already afraid of being pregnant again!

Honestly... I mean.. it's wonderful to know this is a miracle of God and when I feel the baby move it's awesome! BUT... I honestly have had a very rough time... all the way through! I am 6 months and days far in the pregnancy and I am still with all the nausea, and every other bad symptom!

I've read books and articles that say that you will feel more energy in certain months... but I don't... and whenever I stand up I just feel I have to pee!! [sadashamed]

We had to move our bedroom to be next to the bathroom 'cause in the night I am getting up all the time to go to the bathroom

And I had never known what heartburn was before being pregnant... and now... it's all the time!

:(

You moms have my admiration and respect.. if you willingly and purposely are going or went through more than one pregnancy....

Paloma......just wait until your little one is here....all of the discomfort you are feeling and will feel during this pregnancy will evaporate and you will know a love you have never known before....being a mom is truly the most wonderful thing in the world.....

Yes... I think so :D

and in fact I can already see it because here I am ... more interested than I ever thought I could be about babies... :D

So... I guess I will want another after I have the first one :P

Just to encourage you- my two pregnancys were different. Don't get me wrong I felt crudy with both just in different ways- lol. I wasn't as sick with #2 but, had way more heartburn. And I agree that once that little cutey pops out you'll be in love and addicted to wanting more. . .though, I always tell people, "if it weren't for morning sickness, labour and delivery and the first 6 months of life I'd do this all the time". :mrgreen: Be encouraged it'll all be over soon=) -ren

have you looked inot herbs/tincitures? There are certain herbs that can help with morning sickness.... usually anything with ginger helps. Also make sure you are eating several small meals throughout the day, sometimes if you wait too long to eat, you will get sick afterwards. plus if you eat smaller meals you won't have as bad of heartburn. Avoid spicy or citrusy foods! And most importantly, stay hydrated. Drink lots of water. If you tries some of these things it may help you.
Another thing that would help me, I would keep a plate of diced apples next to my bed. When I would wake up to go pee, I'd eat a slice or two. That way when I woke up my tummy wasn't completely empty.

yeah I've not had the dreamiest of pregnancies either
I mean, not 'terrible' but I've had my share of morning sickness and fatigue and just all around feelin' rotten *blech*

I've had one where I was sick for the first 2/3 then the last 1/3 (actually, there was some overlap...even better eh?) I had lots of contractions..false labor essentially..it was horrible. The first few months with the child wasn't exactly my finest either. (read Nugget's birth story)

But, here I am...3 kids after him :)

It's not just about 'me' ... it's about Him. His plan for my life. My conviction.

I'm going to repeat here... every pregnancy is different... All of my pregnancies have been VASTLY different from start to finish~ Sometimes I experience worse symptoms than in other pregnancies and sometimes the pregnancy is just a breeze... it just depends. :)

Once you hold that baby though, all those discomforts melt away... at least for me they did... they didn't matter anymore and I knew... I would be willing to do it all over again. The joy of having your little ones call you Mommy and love you and be there for you to love... ugh... it's priceless and I can't even put into words how it makes me feel.

Each child is definitely a pure blessing, with it's own amount of emotional "ups" and "downs"... and "needs"... and things to *give*. Children are certainly a blessing from the Lord, and we personally love to accept these blessings open hearted~ With every child we've gained a vast amount of maturity and peace that we couldn't have gained in any other way. I know you're going to feel the same way about your little one joining your family. :)

A strong dose of amnesia, lol. Don't know if I'm the most qualified to comment, since I'm only a 2nd time mom-to-be. But here's my two cents:

God put it in our hearts to forget the discomforts of motherhood and pregnancy so that we would have the desire to give our kids siblings.

Personally, I had a horrible pregnancy, with a debilitating skin condition, and a very high need baby. But you know, after almost 2 years have passed, things aren't quite as clear in my mind, lol. And all of a sudden it seems like a good idea to have a sibling for Hannah. If she had stayed a newborn all this time, then I wouldn't be wanting a sibling for her! But they do grow up and your family dynamics change....and then that little tug of baby fever....:D

Just gotta agree with everything said so far... I was very sick my first preg. This one has been pretty different. I was sick for the first 3 months and now I feel very good.

We as women just have such a strong nuturing, loving side that we accept the pain to get the great reward of a beautiful little baby.

My last ds was so big that I was in serious pain all day and all night long. I could barely walk. I could barely walk a month after I had him. And, even though in my mind I said I never wanted to be pregnant again, I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat!!

Like others have said, once you hold that precious baby, nothing else matters. None of the pain of pregnancy or labor and delivery lingers. You forget it all. At least I have. :-D

Sweetie...with all of my pregnancies...I was SOOOO green all the time! I could barely crawl across the room without hurling and had the most wretched heartburn 24/7 from day one until I pushed them out! ...and I would give ANYTHING to be able to have another child, even though I can not now...so you will be amazed at how you just don't care what you have to go through and still deeply desire another round in the *ring* for that precious prize again!

I would agree with some ladies here,it is about him and being obedient to the one who gives such wonderful gifts.That being said pregnancy can be very hard going at times but the reward of that precious babe in your arms is what dulls those hard times. So enjoy your pregnancy every feeling (bad & good) you will soon remember how it was a previlage to carry your own little baby inside of you.

Thanks for all the encouragement! You are all wonderful :D

And thanks for the suggestions on what to do to try to reduce the symptoms :D

I guess I will soon be like one of you encouraging someone else and saying: "Yes, the first pregnancy was hard.... but I will do it all again!"

:P

Maybe I will say also: "Yes the first pregnancy was very hard... but the 6th one was better"

LOL

Who knows!

Thanks a lot!!!

Paloma.

A strong dose of amnesia, lol.

Yep, amnesia definitely helps! :mrgreen:

I kept crackers by my bed, and ate a few before I got up in the morning. That seemed to help. Oh, and I had to avoid cooking shows for some reason. Watching Rachel Ray made me vomit. Don't ask me why..
