how did you do it? i just recently got pregnant with my 2nd, my daughters 9 months old and im 14 weeks pregnant, and i feel like im going nuts! with my daughter the pregnancy was so easy, i wasnt sick, i worked the entire time. this one im always getting sick, i have tons of headaches, im always tired, i cant work without passing out. and on top of that my daughter is starting to walk so its hard to keep up with her. how did you get through it?

My two middle boys are 10 months and 10 days apart. Totally not planned by the way but the weird part is I guess since my body didn't have a chance to realize it wasn't pregnant,.. with my third son I didn't have any symptoms and didn't know I was pregnant until I was 5 months along.
So needless to say that pregnancy went pretty easy lol. You're only 14 weeks in about one month you should be done with the being sick part of it. I know it's frustrating just make sure to drink lots of water and eat right. The fact that you are passing out worries me a bit, what does your doctor say about it?

Oh man that's no fun! Well keep that blood sugar up and always carry something with you that can boost your sugar level quickly. Orange Juice is really good for that.
Sounds like gestational diabetes?
Just remember to not over due yourself and everything will be ok.

Hmmm, I didn't hear my Mom complained about it, or maybe she just don't wanna talk about the experience 
. You see, my older sister and I are barely a year from each other (she's May 12, 1980 and I'm May 14, 1981). That makes my sister 3 months old when Mama got pregnant with me huh! I bet it's really uncomfortable and taxing especially that you have to take care of the older one too while taking care of yourself and the little angel in your tummy. Relax! Get some help from your hubby and/or relatives, stop worrying about things that will only dampen your spirit. Try to keep a positive and determined disposition, you'll be needing it to stay sane 
. Gosh! I should ask Mama how she did it! God bless...

My oldest son is 15 months older than my middle son. The first pregnancy was worse for me though. I had terrible morning sickness that lasted for almost the entire pregnancy. I felt terrible all of the time. The second time around was easier for me. I did not have that much trouble with it. I feel your pain though. I hope that you will be alright. What is your doctor saying about it?
