See your doctor and see if low gluten diet with lots of fruits, veggies and fatty acids like pumpkin seed oil, Basic Minerals + multivitamin that has B cmplex vitamins(with folic acid aka B9 known to reduce birth defects) and D3. See if this does not help you out a bit.

Best wishes to you and CONGRATS

PS the one piece of advice given to me (by a parent)when I was having my kids and it worked. Well he said if you have fed, BURPED, changed their butt, they have no temp and they fall asleep in your hands and then cry when you put them to bed...IGNORE them and let them learn this is their bed time. IF you do NOT do this when they are very young they get more lung capacity and it will get harder to outlast them. You both need your sleep to be happy the next day so while you may be tempted to go against this rule..do NOT pick them up at their bed time when they cry. It worked for us twice over.

First of all CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! I had my second baby not knowing that I had MS. My only advice is to rest when the baby rests. If you don't you will wear out. So, when baby goes down for a nap, so does mommy. Also, turn the phone volumn down and let the answering machine get the messages so that your sleep won't be interrupted. It is wonderful that you have people in you life that are supportive. Let them help you with cooking and household stuff so that you can take care of you and the baby. Don't worry about a tidy house. If it is not tidy and somebody comes to visit, if is bothers them, then let them clean up. The most important people are you and that baby. It is going to be a wonderful adventure, just take it one day at a time and enjoy that sweet baby all you can!!!! You are going to be just fine!!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!! Everyone is terrified when they are pregnant, health issues or not. We all had our issues that made our circumstances less than perfect, I was single for my first and working a piddly job with no insurance. We get over our fears and just go on. It all works out. ENJOY IT!! IT IS WORTH EVERY BIT!!

You got some excellent advice! I will reiterate...besides taking care of a sweet little baby...make your sleep a priority and let others help. I had challenging relapses after my first two , but also did not heed this advice. I recently had our third and since I don't have family to help, a few friends stepped in and I also hired someone to watch my kids while I slept in the early weeks. It was worth every penny! I have taken very good care of myself during and after while making sure that my kids/baby were getting their needs met. We are all extrememly happy! I wish you the best. Babies are wonderful!

In the beginning the easist thing for me was co-sleep. For the first 2 months they tend to wake up every 2-4 hours to feed. So I kept a co-sleeper right next to my bed so I wouldn't run the risk of rolling over. If you aren't breastfeeding have bottles ready right next to your bed so you don't even have to get up. That and try to alternate with your husband so you get a full nights sleep itleast every other night. But after they sleep through it does get easier. I also agree sleep when they sleep. My dd slept during the day most of the time so that was really when I got alot of sleep. As long as your not commited to other things in the beginning like work or school you should have the opportunity to get plenty of rest.

Thanks everyone for the advice!

i like the idea of having others clean my house if they aren't happy with it's condition. hahahaha.

my mom has already said she would come into town and stay with me for the first week to help out with food and whatnot. i'm sure all will be fine, but i still get the jitters sometimes!

Congratulations!! That's wonderful news although I'm sure you scared. I have a 3-month old as well as a 4-year-old. Be sure to rely on your partner and your friends. Enjoy!
