Thanks Mel. To be honest, I just lurch from hour to hour in the hope we all survive! For me, when I was still pg and crapping myself over how I would cope, I realised that, for me, it is simply mind over matter.

I forced myself to realise that MILLIONS of women, with a lot less than me (emotioanlly adn materially) have coped with more than one baby, and they all survive, so surely I must be able to as well.

In terms of coping with the meltdowns, I'll be honest too, In-Liven has been worth its weight in gold.......physically I feel great, but more importantly at this stage, it really helps me stay calm and cheerful.

I know that for me so much of this motherhood malarky is mind over matter......what is that quote by Henry Ford?
Whether you think you can, or think you can't, you're right !
......it works for me.

Mel, you will get there, I promise.
