just found out i'm expecting DC3, due on Valentines Day. DC 2 is only 10 months old, and DC1 is nearly 5. I work 2 long days a week as a nurse, DP works 3/4 long days a week in the same profession. I already struggle to keep on top of housework etc and feel like i'm spreading myself a bit thin, and now i've got all the early pregnancy symptoms to deal with as well - all i want to do is curl up on the sofa for the next 3+ months! Anybody got any good coping/managing strategies?

(changing jobs for either of us not an option at the moment, and we don't have any immediate family to help out)

Sorry not got any helpful hints, but you will cope . . . somehow Housework wise, just do a single thing a day. Or do the dishes thing and then wait until there is a time you are both in and blitz the rest together. Do you have any chance of getting a cleaner (silly question seeing as you are both nurses, but thought I'd ask!)?
