Rubbish at being pregnant

After trying for just under a year I fell pregnant. DH and I thought we wouldn't be able to conceive again so were absolutely delighted.

However, since then I've just felt miserable. I was so sad when I thought we couldn't have any more babies and I'm completely aware of how lucky I am, both to have DS and to have this chance at an other child but I just feel so sad and worried. Most of this worry is down to my concern that the age gap between this baby and DS is just too big and they're both going to lose out as a result. This feels especially raw as we'd discussed giving up trying to conceive and were looking at the benefits of keeping our family as it was.

So as not to drip feed I had a pretty difficult pregnancy and traumatic birth with DS and although this pregnancy has been a whole lot easier I've had morning sickness and other recurrent niggly complaints.

Not to be misunderstood, I really do want this baby, I just don't understand why I feel so sad.

I didn't cope with pregnancy well either. I had Hg both times and struggled to keep even water down and had to go to hospital to be rehydrated several times. I felt like rubbish and could do nothing. Mum used the 'you are not ill just pregnant' line and in all honesty I've never completely forgiven her.

That's great to hear about the weather Gennz! Hope you are feeling a bit better today.

We are stopping in Singapore, but only for an hour so I am doubtful that they will let us off the plane. I think we won't get to leave the plane until Sydney, which is about 22hr from Heathrow if I remember correctly!

I am just going to be a total grot bag by the time we land in Christchurch!

Oh well, I keep thinking about the fab holiday and the lovely snuffly baby at the end of it all, so both will be worth it in the end! It's just the getting there that's the bugger, for both things!

I love you guys! Sitting here laughing out loud and quoting the best bits at DH, who is now banned from ever telling me that I'm not ill, just pregnant...
