[quote=Anonymous]I wouldn't necessarily assume that you'll feel worse later in your pregnancy.  I was a mess at week 12 with morning sickness, still sick at week 20 with back pain, uncomfortable at 30 weeks with limited stamina, but now at nearly 40 weeks I feel great.  I have literally been feeling better every week since around 15 weeks.  It is not what I expected at all.

For peace of mind I would come up with some source of assistance if you need it, but play it by ear.  You may feel better later on, you may not.  Pregnancy is funny like that.

As far as getting ready for the baby, I would try to teach her not to jump on you so you will feel comfortable putting the baby in a carrier while walking the dog.  To keep the dog and baby happy, you will just have to do your best to anticipate needs in advance--just like the parent of a second baby.  If your infant cries for a minute while you get the dog situated, it is okay.  If the dog is unhappy for a minute while you take care of the infant, that is okay too.  Everyone will adjust.[/quote]
