Any advice gratefully received.
I have 2dcs from my first marriage, and dh and I have just had dd2 together. We would very much like to have another dc. We can afford it, we have the space, we have the car, practically it's all fine.
But physically I'm worried. I get terribly SPD, and end up practically housebound on crutches for months. My other 2dcs are older so I don't have to lift and carry them around, and they are a brilliant help. Dh is incredibly hands on but works full time (although he does have flexi time which is great), so I would be at home with a toddler whilst the other two are at school. Other people must have managed. But how?!
I don't want to not have another dc just because the pregnancy is hard (obviously that would be different if it was a severe health risk, but this is just a lot of physical pain).
Any tips on how to cope so we can make an informed decision?
