PREGNANT!

[Deeeja]

Ok, I am pg, 5 weeks. Am very happy,now I have got over the shock. But also afraid, not just possibility of asd, but more because I won'tbeable to give my boys the attention they need, and I don't know how I will cope with it all. I am shattered now all the time as it is.
Come and give me stories of how you all coped, PLEASE!

No idea how you will cope but I am sure that you will find a way.

Just wanted to say Congratulations!!!

congratulations. Im 6 months pregnant with same worries. Im sure we will just find a way.

Congratulations. I'll join you - 28 weeks tomorrow & pretty scared myself.

DD1 no better with danger/behaviour/motor skills etc.
DD2 (17mo NT) getting heavier and heavier, but only took first steps on Xmas Day, so not up to walking.
DC3 due in April!

Well ds4 is nine months nw so what have the last few months been like (have 2 asd, ds1 and ds3)

TBH if I try and take it day by day its fine. The thing I have learned most is that THIS is my normality and thus I am working from nbase in the same way everyone else is. Don't get too het up in 'should be's' (for example ds4 can't go in a cot upstairs at night in case boys accidentally tkae him and hurt him so I iognore all the should be bedtimes as long as his sleep throughout the 24 hours is OK).

Make life easy on you all as mucha s possible- I find BF works well, oythers have found the opposite so go with your own family. Skip threads on BLW and washable nappies and really just take it a little bit at a time. It'll be fine and you will get in a routine!.

Congrats

Congratulations! I'm sure you'll find a way. Can't comment as I've only got two but wanted to send congrats anyway!

sorry no advice but....
congratulations

Just wanted to say Congratulations!

DD3 (now nearly 6, can't believe it!) was such a lovely baby, she didn't have colic like her brothers - so from the offset she was easier to manage! It was exhausting and they were all hard work but it was fun as well.

If you are offered any help - take it! Even if it's just someone else making a cup of tea!

Congratulations!

I've got a 9 week old ds3 and my ds2 has autism. He is worse than the baby, who luckily has settled in very well with the hectic family life around him.

As Peachy said, take it day by day at first, and you'll soon be flying!

Congratulations

No good advice I'm afraid, but Congratulations!!
