your not selfish at all the tiredness will pass i found the first three months horrible and have felt really good apart from these damn itches!! I am starting to get a little tired now though but the kids have been really good they are a handful but they know now if i need a power nap to be good for dh so i can have a 20 min cat nap to revive :)

Dont worry about what your mum sais thing will chnage when your bub arrives, we have had a bit of slack why, how, what about schooling etc its like who cares they will all be loved thats the main thing!!

The more the merrier i say :D

Your not selfish at all.
I found that it was best never to complain about being tired during pregnancy to my mother, as she would always pipe up with:
"Was your choice to have so many. Deal with it"

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I'm envious. I want to be pregnant NOW :D But my youngest is only a year old, and I'd like a larger age gap.

hi l agree with the others l have 10 children and you learn not to say anything to people when l was pregnant with River l was very sick and nilly lost her but at no time did l get help or nothing l now it is hard for you and your children are little but l have 5 all under 5 so to help me l put up safety gates to block them into the lounge room this helped me as it kept the house clean and l didn't have to chase them and l layed on the couch resting and the kids were right there were l could see them and also spend time with them but with little effete

My mum is usually REALLY supportive but when I was preg with #4 the sympathy went out the window 'you made the bed, you lie in it' type comments... so #5 should be interesting.

Dont be so hard on yourself, take it easy, pregnancy is hard work, it takes so much out of you and having other young children to care for makes it even harder!

Mine are close like yours... when #4 was born the eldest was 4.5 and in that pregnancy I had 21 hospital admissions as well as daily checkups (sometimes 2-3 appts in one day) for the last few months of the pregnancy.... BLOODY hard work with other kids in tow and to care for as well... but you get there in the end and its over with and you've got the rest of your life to enjoy your new little bubba hehe Though sadly they dont stay little for too long do they?!
