Due Date Club June 2007:Second time Moms
2006-10-27
Name: Shilpa



I have a 3 year of son and second time due for June' 07. How do u all cope of with the demands of the first child. My son is very much attached to me and wants me to to lift and he want me to do all his work, like giving bath etc etc. Though i have maid to take care of him, but he does not allow her to do any of his things, except for taking him to play. How to cope with this situation, as in later stage, it would be difficult. Do all the second time moms face such situations? Have u all tried to explain to your child abt the coming of second baby?

I still don't have the regular pregnancy problems of nausea or fatigue. Actually, I don't even feel pregnant (I hope everything is okay). Its very different from my first pregnancy.
My daughter needs a lot of attention too but since I haven't had any problems, I do all the work. Don't have a maid and hubby helps. I personally don't think its a problem untill the fetus is in the pelvic area, when it grows to the abdomen then we need to take precautions. But I'm not sure. Somebody correct me if I am wrong

hi,

even i have a 3 yr old, and its the same case with me too. i have to take her to school and she wants me to lift her up, some times she wants me to do piggy back and tries to sit on my tummy.. i only avoid the sitting on the tummy part as of now... i infact enjoy carrying her to school...probably i will become tired sometime in the coming months when i have to stop doing these.. till them i want to do it... i have told her there is a small baby in my tummy, but then how much can a small kid remeber... i need to talk to my doc when i meet her for the first time in nov... my last preg, i did not have any issues with MS, but this time i seem to have no appetite and kind of feel very dull always.. do u guys do any exercise to figth these? For me food is not much a problem , though i have reduced my intake quite a bit... anyway for cases like us, i think we need to keep tellign us kids that we are not that well... probably u shud take him for ur 4th month scan where he can see the baby... good luck..

I think doctors and elders say we need to take precautions in the first 3 months also. Doctor has advised me not to carry anything heavy and not to travel. It must be becoz of my previous history. My son keep insisting i carry him, and i tell him i have stomach pain and i cannot carry him.
But still u consult your doctor,since you also will be travelling to India.
As off now, even i dont have any feeling of pregnancy. Though i did not have nausea the last time also at the time of my son. The first trimester is very slow, the second and third are very exciting, as we observe lot of changes.
