4Th Baby.

So after a long nights of conversations. My husband and I are so excited about having this 4th baby. I'd like to thank all the ladies on here for the advice about the decision of the baby. I'm smiling from cheek to cheek while writing this because this baby I know is going to complete us all!!!!
However, even though this is number 4 I should be used to the idea of what to expect right? Well knew things are happening. I've been reading about how subsequent pregnancies you feel more than you did with the first one. I am having cramping, and I'm certain alot of it has to do with I may have a UTI. (I go to my first visit today). To check that out and to have an ultrasound done. Being that all my kids have been c-section, is there any reason why I would feel cramping? Are the next pregnancies different with woman who've had natural births compared to c-section births? Is cramping normal? I hear that if you experience nausea you're more than likely not to miscarry than if you don't. And this nausea definitely has me in a spin for my life. My boobs are achy too. But my biggest complaint is not sleeping through the night. Maybe I'm reading too much into my body and fear something may be wrong. I did have a miscarry between one and two. And it was devastating but what I felt then doesn't feel like now. I'm so anxious to see the baby on the U/S. And I just pray for a healthy baby. Whether its a girl or a boy! My mind is set that this will be the last one and I will have a tubal. I want to enjoy every moment of this pregnancy. I have a lot more feeling into my body and am tuned into it too much. Is cramping normal? Thanks moms, please feel free to share you stories thanks again to all of you!

What can I do next?

I have 3 kiddos and cramped with all of them. I always felt like I was starting my period.

AND Congratulations!!! I had my 3rd baby (unplanned) 6 months ago and she is the most beautiful precious thing ever. I thank God for her every single day.

This has absolutely nothing to do with you, but since my response to another question was deleted, I would also like to add that I had to buy a new car to fit this baby, we had to BUILD a new room for her, and I didnt go back to school as planned, and I gave up my job to be a sahm. Was it convienent? NOPE, but shes 50000% worth it.
Children arent convienent, they are a blessing!!

So anyways, I am very happy for you!!! He/She will complete you and have your wrapped around their little finger before you know it.
Fingers crossed for a girl for you! ;)

Keep us posted on your little bean!!

I had 5 kids and my last 4 were C-sections. I had more cramping with my last 3 which scared me because I had two miscarriages. Congratulations! I'm excited for you!!

I had some slight cramping with one of my kids. Whether or not it's normal depends on the cramping. I had cramping with another of my kids and miscarried that one. Ask your doctor. I had nausea and morning sickness with both of my miscarriages so please don't use that as a guide that all is well. I don't mean to scare you just wanted to answer the question for you. Insomnia is a normal part of pregnancy. I had it all 4 times I was pregnant and with the 2 I've carried FT I had it off and on throughout the pregnancy. Boobs were achy with #1 for the whole pregnancy and with baby #2 for the first trimester only. Good luck at the dr.!!!
