Re: Thinking about trying to get pregnant next year but worried I won't cope!

Wow I know you are explaining the hard bits, but its got to be a lot more good and happy times compared to the bad bits,
We are talking about having one baby,
What I have is good support from family & friends, close by, and if me and hubby are exhausted then we hope we'd get a good nights sleep with there help, as for going out, its over rated in my opinion, as ive not drank for years anyway,
Experience, I have learnt that from my nephews, not just babysitting, but living with them, being their carer when mum was in hospital,
What ive also learnt is that 3 is so much harder than the 1. 1 was a joy, & we were never out numbered, even during the sleepless nights, we'd do it in shifts,
Hormones is hard, and the judgement would be too,
But for me swapping the luxurious sleep, nights out, and being the only couple childless means everything to us,
We think of the good bits, having the our new born sleeping on us, waking up on birthdays Christmas together, completeing our family,
The main bit I worry about is when im sick, and have a child to look after, lets hope my hubby can manage at those times,
