Well here I am. I've come to this forum looking for some support because I am really struggling at the moment. We are doing quiverfull which is something that I feel very passionate about. I absolutely LOVE children, always have! The problem is that I have 3 children already (I know that's not many lol!). Their ages are 3 1/2, 2 and 9 months. I am still breast feeding the baby. I am 8 weeks pregnant, due in November. I am very excited to be expecting another baby but am also tired and suffering from terrible all day morning sickness. At the moment my children are suffering. I am unable to play with them. Even reading them books makes me feel ill. I manage to change nappies and get meals albeit bad ones, but I usually vomit while doing so. If I actually don't feel too bad then there is dishes, washing and food to sort out.
I'm going to have 4 under 5 and I wonder what on earth I am doing here. Our living circumstances are far from ideal. I am stressed and wondering how on earth I'm going to cope. I love this child with all my heart and want it but wish that I had had a longer break. I am sick of being constantly pregnant and or breast feeding, being tired all the time, unable to get things done and not being able to be the wife and mother that I want to be!
I do wonder if I get pregnant when each child is 8-9 months if I am going to end up with 20 children! I wouldn't mind that but don't exactly want the 20 pregnancies that go along with it!
Does this get easier? Does anyone have any tips for having so many little ones? Do others end up having them this close together too?
