Had a horrendous weekend with dd being very ill and having to go to A&E and have had hardly any sleep since Sunday. REALLY feeling my pregnancy and my blood pressure has gone up so have to finish work early. Everything seems to be getting on top of me at the moment (prob hormonal) but I am really starting to worry about how on EARTH I am going to cope in August when number 2 arrives.

Have brilliant dh and mil is round the corner so I do have support but I am really starting to panic.

Bit late I know at 32 weeks.

How on earth do you juggle things?

Hi OO, I was just starting to panic about the birth of my DD2 when she showed up 2 months early! It gave me less time to worry about how I would cope but SO much more to deal with. The most amazing thing is you do cope, even with things that would have seem completely daunting before. I've realised I'm a lot more capable than I ever knew and I bet you'll be the same. And as for sleep deprivation - with DD2 being the worst sleeper in history I've realised I can get by on about a quarter of the amount of sleep I thought I needed to stay sane! Yes I do look a bit crap but watching my two DDs playing together yesterday, screaming their heads off with laughter, I felt like the happiest and luckiest person in the world. Good luck, I bet it will be brilliant.
