5th pregnancy

It's my 5th pregnancy and I feel overwhelmed. My 4th child just turned 3yo. My eldest is 13yo, my 2nd is almost 8yo and the 3rd is 5yo. Managing a teenager, 2 school kid and a toddler is really challenging. Knowing I'm pregnant again makes me feel anxious. 1. What if my body can't handle it anymore? I'm 36. 2. What if the baby will no longer be healthy? 3. What would my eldest feel abt having another sibling? My parents and in laws too? 4. Should I blame my husband? Or is it my fault that I don't really reject him anytime? 5. Until what age should we keep working to sustain our families needs? Please, don't judge. I can't celebrate my pregnancy because I feel ashamed. Help me cope and be more positive. Thanks, mommas!

Lahat ng nararamdaman mo valid di mo lang maiwasan na maging anxious sa paligid mo kase madami kang chikiting. Wag mo din sisihin ang sarili mo or husband mo dahil dyan kasi alam niyo naman kung anong mangyayari once na may nangyari sa inyo. Regarding naman sa eldest mo kausapin mo siya ng maayos ipaintindi mo na magkakaroon siya ulit ng kapatid try mong i-involve yung eldest mo sa activities ng mga nakakabata niyang kapatid para di niya mafeel na left out siya. Saka malayo naman ang mga age gap ng anak mo e. Saka please don't be ashamed kase buntis ka anong magagawa mo if buntisin ka talaga saka may husband ka naman? Yung iba nga ilang taon na nag try pero wala pa din. Please keep in mind na ang baby or pregnancy ay isang mahalagang blessing na dapat nating ipagpasalamat kase yung iba hindi naranasan yung mga naranasan mo. Be healthy mommy! Kaya mo yan! Cheer up po ❤️

Wala namang nakakahiya don. May asawa kanaman yung iba nga na walang asawa nagbubuntis ikaw pa kaya na may asawa. Wala ka din dapat sisihin sarili mo man o asawa mo pareho niyo ginusto yan sex may chance kanaman gumamit ng contraceptive(na dapat oara sayo) para hindi kana maulit mag buntis kay baby number 5. Wag mo na tanungin kung hanggang kailan niyo dapat mag trabaho dahil kahit ikaw sa sarili mo alam mo kung hanggang kailan dapat. Hindi naman mahalaga ang sasabihin ng ibang tao sayo na nagbuntis ka ulit ang importante maayos kayong nagsasama ng asawa mo at napapakain niyo ang mga anak niyo ng hindi naman humihinge sa ibang tao. Ipagdasal mo nalang na healthy ang anak mo sa sinapupunan mo at maging maayos ang panganganak mo. Iwas ka sa stress.

Your feelings po are valid are understandable. I'm not sure if there's any comforting words I can give but this I can say: The mere fact that you're having all those concerns and worries, already tells me that you're a very good mother ☺️ Please take care of yourself and stay healthy... "The days are long but the years are short"... just take it one day at a time. God bless *hugs*🫂
