    34 weeks and Emotion stress.
    I am 23 years old and I have a 3 year old and 1 year old and am 34 weeks pregnant. My husband had to take a trip to New York without us, he was supposed to be gone only a couple of days. Every time I hear from him he keeps saying that he will have to stay another 2 days or so. This is very hard on me and I find myself crying when doing all activities including cleaning, playing with my kids, cooking, ANYTHING! I feel like I can't take it anymore and need some advice
    I am also having pains and lots of pressure at the c-section scar area when the baby moves or kicks but no bleeding.
    Thanks in Advance.

    It's normal for you to be emotional right now. Your hormones are at peak levels. I remember crying at commercials on TV.

    The pains you are having are probably normal due to the stretching of the skin and muscles in that area. If it concerns you, please contact your doctor.

    Do you have any friends, family members, neighbors that you can spend time with? Anyone who might be able to help out while your husband is away? What about even a mother's helper (a responsible teen that you know?)... someone who can come in for a couple of hours a day, or even just 2 -3 times a week, to entertain the other kids for you... you don't have to leave the house, but can go take a shower in peace, relax in the tub, read an entire magazine in one sitting, anything that would give you a bit of a break.
    Another possible option is if there are any "mommy and me" type groups where you can hang out with other mothers, have some support, and just visit with each other while the kids play.

    Your not alone in the way you feel, I have a wild 3 year old and tarrible 2 year old. And I am carring twins and as our last month closes in I find myself in the same state of mind. I am home all day with our kids while my boyfriend is at work and I am at the very very end of my straw because of all of the stress. I have found that "mommy and me" is working very well it is a huge relife when my kids are in a safe place and I can sit down and not have to worrie about what they are doing... I would look for programs around you that could give you the same relife. Wish you the best of luck!
