Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
I like your science, Cluef. 

If your back's against the wall, turn around and write on it.

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
I hope the sickness remains manageable. I can’t remember when the hormones peak but you’ll still be on the rise so I imagine it may get worse before it gets better.
I agree with Leap, it’s lovely not feeling like you have to learn on the job. Also just generally feeling more relaxed, because you’ve already kept a child alive and mostly unscathed. I can’t comment personally on two to three, but I reckon another after twins will be a breeze by comparison.

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
I hope the sickness gets under control quickly Ken. And subsequent babies are definitely a lot easier, especially after twins. Massive congratulations to you.

Oh Ken, I really hope the sickness doesn't get any worse.
It will definitely all come back to you and you'll feel much more confident this time.

You have lived life thus far, tell me how you have done it?

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
Obviously I don’t have my first two at the same time, but my third really was a breeze!
You are already in a good routine with the other two, and they just sort of slot into it, they have to really. Practically raise themselves.

Me too with my third (and fourth). Congrats, Ken! I hope the sickness eases and that GP Thinks On.
It’s like a normal midlife crisis only with more chandeliers and foreign languages.

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
I don't agree that the jump from two to three is a small one, but would argue that it definitely applies when 1 and 2 are simultaneous!

Congrats Ken!
I found the jump from 2-3 fine, probably due to the large age gap. But 3-4 is HARD.

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
I found 0-1 by far the hardest, then it was much easier (and I find it fascinating to see when each individual parent finds it hard, it varies so much!).

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
After having 1 and 2 so close together, I found no.3 a breeze 4.5 years later. Not least because there is none of that first-time-mum stress. And you were a first and srcond-time mum at once!

Re: Early Pregnancy Thread
This is all music to my ears.
0-2 was definitely pretty tough.
