I am lost

[SweetiePie9595]

I had my confirmation pregnancy appointment today, and it's confirmed I am roughly 5wks pregnant I go back in 2wks for my first ultrasound. I am 38 and I have a 9 & 7 yr old and I honestly thought I was done having babies. I was actually scheduled to have a Ensure procedure done (well surprise, surprise I'm sorry ma'am your pregnant you can't have your tubes tied today). I am going to college part time and I work full time. How and the H..E.. double hockey sticks am I going to manage this. I won't be able to do college for me and help my order two kids with their homework and deal with a newborn. I am so scared right now. I dont know what to do.

Hi SweetiePie~

I just saw your post and wanted to hop on and let you know I'll be praying for you. I know hearing about an unexpected pregnancy can really throw you for a loop. But I'd encourage you to just take one day and at a time and enlist as much support as you can. Maybe consider talking with someone from a local crisis pregnancy center? They may have some assistance available for moms in your shoes, or some suggestions on how to balance all your responsibilities right now.  So, just something to think about. But, in the meantime, know that someone out there is thinking of you and praying for you!

I think  it will all work out. I have a 16,15,11 and a baby due in 27 days. I work full time plus full time mommy.. it can be very overwhelming  but god has a great plan for you. Good luck

Yes you can. I have my 5th baby on the way. I run a business, I volunteer, take classes, help my husband with his classes and career, do everything I need to do for my kids and keep this house somewhat in order. It's all about how you prioritize.  You absolutely can do it. Have faith in your self.

You're probably just in shock. You have a busy life so it's understandable that you worry about how you will manage it all. But things happen for a reason and you've already raised 2 little ones and you will do just fine with this one! Adoption is of course always an option but I doubt that has even crossed your mind. Assuming you're in a relationship just make it clear to your partner that you will need extra help and all of their support since you got into this together it is both of your responsibility!  I'll be praying for you :)
