Also i just found out that my four year has not been doing well in school.. either his tubes are plugged (which he had put in Nov) or he has a learning disability!

Ive been having alot of headaches, neck, and back pain.. do u think this is from stress??

thanks for your advice...

yea i no my son has hearing problems, by the time he had tubes put in they said he had probably lost 80% of his hearing!! it was doing great after his surgery but no 3 months later we are back to square one, i hoping that its just his tubes that are plugged but if not then we will deal with(he is going to see a phychiatrist, occipational therapist, speech therapist, and a list of others through the school and AEA) and hopfully get it figured out while he is still in preschool!!

also if you are concerned about your son's school work ask the school to test him, so you can see what areas he is having more trouble in! and if it is more with the tubes or if there are underlying problems, my son first found out he had vision problems in pre-school and it was making it hard for him to keep up with his peers! Good luck and hope you have a happy healthy pregnancy!

I think yes, that it is probably from stress that a lot to take on and I know I was in almost the same situation during my last pregnancy i was working about 30 hours a week and going to school about 15 hours a week. i had a 3 1/2 and 1 1/2 year old at home and was pregnant, so I completely understand the stress, try to take it easy I know that is a lot easier said than done, but just take little moments here and there when you can! also part of the neck and back pain could be from lugging around children, textbooks, ect. None of that helps you back!! make sure you are taking a good prenatal vitamin that can help a lot with being tired along with iron if you need it  (if your low in iron you can get really tired!). I was supposed to be in school this quarter too (although I have stopped working) , but have been so sick with this baby that i ended up not going and just decided to start again next quarter (I have a 6 1/2 year old a 4 year old and a 2 year and i am 9 weeks pregnant)
