2Nd Pregnancy Is SO Much Harder!

I'm about 6 months pregnant with my second child. I have a 2 1/2 year old girl at home, and my pregnancy with her was great. I had severe "all day" sickness, but it was over at the very beginning of the 2nd trimester. It was the same this time... but I am still struggling with nausea. But even worse than that is I am EXHAUSTED. I have very little motivation to get any cleaning/laundry done, and I've missed a bit of work as well. (I work full time, dad is a stay at home.) I do have more going on in my life than last time, with a toddler...

Emergen-C & Pregnancy

Hi Moms, So far my Hubby and 2 yr old have come down with some nasty 48 hr stomach bug and I feel I'm destined to get it! Well, I'm keeping my fingers crossed and trying to do everything to prevent myself from catching it but that's very hard considering how much my 2 yr old needs me. Does anyone know if it's safe to take Emergen-C while pregnant along with my Prenatal Vitamins? It's a Vitamin C powder you mix with a drink and it also contains 1000 mg of Vitamin C, 32 Mineral Complexes & B Vitamins. My Hubby thinks it's perfectly...

In First Trimester and Cannot Sleep at Night

I'm in my first trimester of pregnancy and since about a week before I found out I was pregnant I cannot sleep at night. When I do finally manage to fall asleep, it is very fitful and doesn't last very long. Do you guys have any suggestions on how you were able to sleep early on in pregnancy? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Can I Make It to a Hospital 1Hr and 26Mins Away When I Go into Labor?

This is my 1st pregnancy and I'm 1hr away from the nearest Kaiser hospital. I have no idea how contractions work. I know everyones different but I also know that I probably won't deliver within the 1st hour of feeling contractions. But will I make it a whole hour? With my boyfriend who's a smoker? I jus don't know if I can make it to the hospital! Trying to figure out what I can do since after 37 weeks she could come at anytime. If we get a hotel the day before my due date what if she doesn't come till a week after? I appreciate any advice...
