im 8 weeks pregnant now with my 2nd baby. But unlike the first one, this pregnancy is tough. I've been having asthma attacks and im on meds now until my tummy turns 5 months. Aside from that, I have an endometrioma cyst on my left ovary. This is so hard for me. Having all these during pregnancy is just too much. But I'm pretty confident with my doctors. I have a pulmonary doctor and an OB whom I constantly keep in touch with.

Hello! Every pregnancy is a gift from God and Should be well taken cared of. YOu are lucky for having this great chance to be a mother again just like me. And like you, I was able to experience tough pregnancy the second time around. My baby now had a very small gestational sac when I was found to be pregnant by my OB Gyne. I was advice by her to bed rest for 2 mos. that's why I decided to just quit my job and focused with my pregnancy, during my third month, I had a spotting of blood so she advised me to bed rest again for 2 weeks with medications of course. I had the usual nausea and vomiting for the whole day and now, im on my 23rd weeks, nearing the end of my second trimester, yahoo!. I just knew that you will be able to surpass all your hardships now, and in the end, it was all worth it having a new baby on our arms once again. Good luck to you and take care of the little life inside you...

Hi, I believed with the advanced technology in medical, your gynae will treat you the best. During your first trimester,have a good rest and eat more nutrition food.Whenever you are not feeling well,always consult with your gynae and seek for his advices. Wish you have a good healthy and smooth pregnancy. takecare.

well pregnancy is really tough, but much more in your case. i tell to you just be strong and always keep in touch with the Lord. I mean keep on praying always, I feel the same way when i was pregnant with my 3triplet baby, i thought i would be put into danger when i give birth to them but i know trusting the Lord is a great help..
