hey ya'll...i have missed my periods...and im 2 days late....but im scared to test cuz maybe im preggo...and if im then its gonna be so hard....i already have a 7 month old and hes pretty demanding..and now a second one would be hard to handle...plus i live alone with my husband whos at work till evening...how will i manage..??i will test if i dont get my periods in like a couple o days....but im having all the symptoms tht i had last time...stuffy nose and body aches and weakness and the head hurting...i just really hope im not preggo though....i know im prolly acting like an idiot right now but plz dont mind me 

sounds more like the flu hon, only 2 days late try not to worry.....could be you are ill or stressed or  even should you be be itll be OK ... Think on how much you treasure your baby  and I can attest by my grandsons  (Sam had them close together) its not as hard as id have thought .. The boys  are so close and yet just far nuff apart to enjoy ...... they play together, learn faster ,love each other so sweetly!!!  Its not any harder really having 2 closer , in fact Ive learned over time its easier .... So even if you ARE pg , dont be scarred hon... Embrace it  .. So many good posts and great encouragement here... Let us know OK  

try not to stress to much- those symptoms you are feeling could just be your stress- I have done this thought I was pregnant then I had my morning sickness symptoms.  The thought of havin #2 so shortly after #1 gotta be hard, best wishes!

I agree, try not to worry too much until you get confirmation.  But, if you do, I know it will be tough but it will also be manageable.  I got pregnant (intentially) with our second with Gabriel was only 6 months old. And even though he was still a little baby then, he's now 11 months old and a ton more independent, ie, feeding himself, crawling, playing independently, does not want to be held a lot.  So mine will be 15 months apart and I surely realize it will be tough but we will be ok.  Just think about the great things like how close the babies will be and if they are the same sex how cool it will be and if they are not, still they will likely be really close growing up!  You get diapers and baby pains out of the way in a shorter period of time!  There really are some benefits too!  Good luck and I hope things work out best for your family!

thank u everyone...u guys r a great help...im trying not to worry...but the my perionds r pretty late now...i usually get em 3 days before the dd....anyway...im trying to be positive...lets see wat happens...i'll wait a couple of days more before i test....im having alotta mucus now...everytime i run to the bathroom thinking its my periods but i sure need a pantyliner(sry tmi)hahah...

Let us know how it's going. Sometimes your greatest challenges, end up being your biggest blessings!

 

First of all just sit down and breath. Sometimes the flu can do that to you. The same thing happened to me once. The best thing to do is to get a test done so that you can start taking care of yourself. I usually buy my test from the Dollar Tree, they work great.

Second of all if you are prego don't worry, that is the least thing you need to do now. I have four and they were almost 1  1/2 apart. Yes its going to be hard because being a parent is not easy even though its beautiful. Relax and enjoy being a mom!

Hang in there - sometimes stress can change cycles, breastfeeding (in case you are), the flu, whatever.  I wouldn't even worry until you've gone 6-weeks without.  And heh, a 7-month old can be stressful.  And even if you are pregnant - it is a blessing, and life has a way of working out - take it one day at a time.  I was a fertile Myrtle myself - but after I met friends who went through the emotions of invitro, or waiting years to conceive I was very humbled. New life is a blessing, even if it doesn't come on our timing.  My niece was two weeks late once, got all excited, and then went into a depression when her period came after all.  Heh - no periods, no mess. 

You know your own body the best. What's the harm in getting a test? You won't get less pregnant the longer you put it off, Hun.

If you are pregnant, it won't be as difficult as you're imagining it will be right now. I got pregnant with my son when my daughter was 8 mos. old...so pretty close to what you're going through. I was sooooooo scared. But you're forgetting that you still have 9 months before this little girl/guy comes along and your 7 month old will then be 16 months old...walking, talking...even wanting to help with the baby.

I promise it's so much easier than you think. Just take care of yourself and get a darn test! It's not going to change the results no matter when you take it(unless it's wrong), and it's better to know sooner rather than later.

P.S. I went to my Dr. for the tests. Somehow peeing on a stick didn't seem very trustworthy.

Just checking in and wondering how things turned out!
