A pregnant mom has it much harder than a woman being pregnant for the first time since she has to manage her pregnancy as well as her other children she may have. This becomes increasingly more difficult as the pregnancy goes on for the pregnant mom since fatigue sets in and she cannot be as active as she gets bigger. The younger the child or children you already have can be a factor as well, obviously the younger the child is the more difficult it can be at times, if your current children are a little older they can actually be a great help to any pregnant mom. This is especially nice if you are a mom that already has a child that is in their pre teen or teen years since they can greatly help out with household chores and other things that will become difficult for you to do on your own, especially with a working husband.
Another great asset for any pregnant mom is having a supportive husband that understands what she is going through and can help her with things that she needs and also does not mind running out sometimes to help you satisfy some of the strange cravings that many pregnant women have. You can never underestimate how important a understanding and supportive husband can be to a pregnant mom and he will also have to make sure that he helps to entertain your current children so they do not bother mom all the time and she can get some rest when dad arrives home every day from work. The husband and dad does need to help with all of this and being an understanding and caring husband this will not be an issue, even though he may be tired from a long day at work. Pregnancy will take an even bigger toll on you than your husband so there will be sacrifices on everyone’s parts for nine months.
