Am i taking on too much? Im so so tired, the baby is due in March, and without him here I have to do and take care of everything and everybody. My biggest fear is being alone for the birth and the fact that there wont be anyone to watch my other babies. I have made arrangements with several family members to "back each other up" on watching the kids, but with it being my 4th, im scared nobody will get here in time. I think im just worrying too much!! Any ideas?

She didn't ask you peoples opinion on her birth control! She only asked if she may have bitten off more than she could chew!!
And to answer that honey, I'm not a religious person but they say God only gives you what you can handle. You know what that is. It's only too much if you let it be. Relax....you're not a newbie at being a mom and since you have custody of all of them you're not a bad mom either!! Look at the blessing and not the curse. You are at the point where the never getting any sleep truely sets in and with the other things you have going on you freaked. Totally natural to worry to an extent but don't stress out. You already have the been there done that tshirt. Put it back on and smile!!

OMG....with 3 kids already and being a full time college student, how did you find the time to even make another baby? That seems like a lot. Well, you did the right thing by making sure you had several family members on standby. Ask one of your closest family members to come in the delivery room with you, if your hubby can't make it. But STOP stressing, it isn't good for you or the baby.
Best of Luck!
Also, you might want to consider getting your tubes tied after the baby is born. I think 4 kids is plenty. Especially with your hubby always being gone. Atleast get on birth control. But having your tubes tied will make sure you aren't in this situation again.

when i had my second child i had my mother and my first child in the waiting area.. I'm a military wife pregnant now with my third and my husband is deploying for Iraq next month so i know all about the being alone thing.. having some kind of plan as you already have is a good step taken.. and if all fails and no body can make it.. I'm sure a nurse or hospital staff can stay with the kids in the waiting area till you deliver and then they can se the new member of the family hrs after its born.. Best of luck and try not to stress out ... everything will work out you'll see

Is there anyway that your hubby can book off some time near the due date? If not have you got your mum or close friend that can be with you? You have done the right thing getting several members of family to cover the other children being looked after nearer the time, I am sure you will be fine and it will work out great. You are bound to be apprehensive and worried, but as long as you let your family and husband know of your worries they will be happy to put your mind at rest

There are very severe and properly regarded unfavorable aspects related for the two you and the toddler. it is not authentic good for him the two!

If you can afford it, get a helper now. Stop stressing about being alone for the birth, that's not a major problem. At least have people looking after the kids.
