Pregnancy with a SEN child

Hi guys, I’m just wondering is there any anyone with a SEN 3 year old who has or experiencing being pregnant again? The reason why I’m asking is because my daughter takes up a lot of my time requires extra attention than an average three-year-old cannot speak. She’s had hip dysplasia in the past where she needed an operation and still has mobility problems she is currently on DLA she is quite a handful in the nicest way possible I did have an abortion in March this year I was on contraception and I’m still on contraception but now I am pregnant again as it’s been five months since my last one I don’t know what to do I did regret it, but I felt relief at the same time but never did I think I’ll be in the exact same position as I was five months ago but this time I’m considering keeping it however I don’t really get much family help I have my dad that comes around twice a month and my partner’s dad as well. Obviously they have their own lives. Mine and my partner’s mum we don’t really get on with both of our mums due to them being a narcissists and abusive. Anyways, does anyone have any experience on what it’s like having a sen child and being pregnant again? With limited family help is it doable? I just I don’t know. I just don’t really have anyone else to talk to about this so I just need someone who has been in the same position as me or similar. I don’t wanna struggle in the long run my partner works full-time, so I’ll be the primary career I am five weeks pregnant
I did experience HG in my pregnancy last time and when I was seven weeks before I had horrendous, nausea and sickness, and made me really ill but this time round I haven’t got it yet
No judgment, please 🙏

I've done it. It's hard, especially near the end when you're trying to juggle appointments for you and for your SEN child and you basically live at the hospital. Hardest bit was afterwards trying to manage a child who needed to be picked up, a newborn and an emergency c-section.

I don't regret any of it though. Although it's very hard there is also joy.

Currently going through this too with limited family help but my partners really stepped up to help with the night wake ups etc so i can get a bit more rest. It will be worth it at the end if thats the choice you make to go through with it :) ❤
