new and pregnant with no4

Hi i'm new and nearly 26 wks pregnant with baby no 4. This was an unexpected pregnancy, i still can't believe i'm going to have a baby. i was expecting twins but mc early on and i bled heavily for the first 13 wks so i have a little fighter in there. this has to be my worst pregnancy. Worst morning sickness and now i have really bad spd. i've had since i was 3 mths pregnant.
This baby is a boy. i have a 15 yr old girl, 5 yr old boy and a 3 yr old boy who was diagnosed with leukeamia a yr ago. So my life is pretty busy.

Congratulations on those who are pregnant x

hi mel i have four kids too -my eldest is 14-youngest is two- id hav more kids i love having a big family and they are my world-i stil go out al time with my husband for nights out and hav plenty of help from my and his families so its al gud-i had spd with two of my babies-very painful and i had t sleep with a cushion btween my legs t ease the pain!i hav age gap kids too-14 13 and 6 and 2 but its great cos older ones help- hows your son now?is he stil having treatment?that must hav been hard-really hope al is going well x

Hi and welcome to the site.
I also have 4 children, 2 girls 9 years and 6 years, and 2 boys 8 years and 2 years.
How is your son now?
I found my last pregnancy probably the hardest too. I had pelvic pain and it also ran down the back of my left leg. But it was worth it!
Talk soon.

Hi, thank you.

My son's treatment is just over 3yrs long and we are a yr into it. He is doin well and the treatment isn't as harsh on him now. Weekly blood tests and hospital visits but overnight hospital stays are not as frequent.

This is definatley my last pregnancy. Its been awful from the very beginning and the time seems to drag. I've had to go onto maternity leave early as the hour bus ride to work was too much and sitting in an office all day made my spd worse. I still can't believe I am pregnant to be honest I keep waiting for the worst to happen. I'll be pleased when I finally have a baby in my arms. x

heya and welcome, sounds like your supermum, congrats on the pregnancy. i bet your l/os and not so little one cant wait. x

yes i agree-supermum! seriously tho uve got lot on ya plate so admire you-glad your boy isnt too bad on his treatment now cos it mustave been hard t watch him suffer-hope all goes well wi h9im and of coures your new little one x

Hi i'm no way super mum just gettin on with life i suppose but thank you x

hi im nyk

i am 12 weeks pregnant with my 4th!!!

complete surprise, we moved from essex to devon for a new life 13 weeks ago and thats exactly what we got!!!

our eldest is connor 14 then abbie 12 and craig 10 so we are starting all over again too.

i suffered with spd with my first from about 6 months then from about 4 months with second which never went away then throughout 3rd and then for the last 10 years so i swore i wouldnt have anymore but hey little one is here and theres no changing that!!! i have only had one flare up so far.

a good tip for all you mums that suffer spd, walk backwards!!! i know it sounds strange and i dont know if its because you concentrate more on your movements than the pain or if it actually causes less pain, but it works!!!
