i have been battlein lymes disease with 2  coinfections for 2 years now. I was almost done with treatment when to my surprise we got pregnant. Very very unexpected. We are super excited, but I am nervous that the bacteria will cross over to the baby. 

My doctor who is treeating me said this this could be a possibility but had put me on azithromycin 1xdaily everyday and a supplement called Vital Guard, which is supposed to help protect the baby from this. 

My OB has approved but this is the first time they are dealing with this. I am a first time mom so I am new at this. I am wondering if anyone else has had to deal with anything like this?]]> WTF Wednesday 5/10 https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12708487/wtf-wednesday-5-10 Wed, 10 May 2017 14:09:14 +0000 December 2017 Moms flowerpower5838 12708487@/discussions

 I'm 6w4 says and since I found out I was pregnant I've been having this issue with not being able to sleep bc my stomach hurts, my stomach is upset, I'm hot etc. I went to bed at 9 today, woke up at 1140...had an Italian ice and a zantac to cool down my stomach but now I'm just up... Anyone else having issues sleeping? 

This is strange because mid day I get very tired and can nap for hours but I do not unless I have a work from home day. 

I know my sleep hygiene is not the best lately but usually if I'm tired I can sleep. When I'm not pregnant 6 weeks ago lol I could sleep from 8p to 5 am everyday and 9p to 530a was my sleep schedule. 

Hellp.. anyone having this issue? Any STM had this issue? ]]> Hump Day Bump Day (May 10) https://forums.thebump.com/discussion/12708457/hump-day-bump-day-may-10 Wed, 10 May 2017 10:05:56 +0000 December 2017 Moms AMCsquared 12708457@/discussions Hump Day Bump Day!

UPDATE: went in to double check with a beta and u/s today. Heartbeat was detected at 97 and hcg rose appropriately. Only thing is that the baby is measuring 5w5d when I should be 6w2d. The doctor I saw today didn't know why my doctor told me yesterday that m/c was imminent. She says she is cautiously optimistic. So now I take it day by day. I appreciate all of your thoughts.

My DH and I are over the moon to be expecting our second child, but one of our concerns (mainly my DH) is how do we prepare our 2 yr old son for a new baby in the household?
I'm sure its the same for most of you that toddlers can be very needy and demand attention all the time.

My DS is currently being screened for possible autism as he doesn't understand much language and doesn't yet have any speech. Also has alot of behavioural issues. But he is a very loving little boy who loves interacting and is very demanding.

So im just interested in any advice someone in a similar situation could offer or stories of people who have struggled or succeeded with this? Even ladies who havent got children with learning difficulties.
