God is what helps me. I am a good parent of course there are a couple of days near the end that I am cranky. I take care to eat well and exercise and be organise. I am going to start this week sorting and giving away heaps and heaps of stuff.

I don't know Leanna... There are days that I cry out to the L-rd, "WHY do you think *I* am capable of doing this?!?" "I'm such a terrible person! Look how I handled ___ situation today!" And the L-rd just calms me down and reminds me that He is in charge and He Chose me to have these kids for several reasons. I have to admit that I have a Much higher tolerance level and patience level than I used to... And my kids have learned a lot about forgiveness over the years...

I've basically spent the last 18 months pregnant and it can be tough...you're sick, tired, and in my case extremely worried a lot of the time. I guess I've just gotten used to it and I am to the point now where I can get everything done as usual on even the worst days.

My DH is very supportive of this sort of stuff- he takes up the slack when I'm tired, praises heaps if I'm feeling like nothing get's done etc.
His favourite is "The kids are alive, fed and dressed. You've done a good job today".

That's a fantastic question and to be honest I have no idea how other people do it. I get so cranky, moody and sick. Pregnancy seems to create tension between me and DH. I also feel pregnancy drains me. I enjoy having my body back to myself after the birth. I like having the baby in my arms at the end! 
That's what makes those yucky nine months worth it.

I made the conscious choice to always trust God to speak to me and consciously refused to believe that whatever would happen was outside of God's will. It was a moment by moment decision, but with the support and encouragement I had around me, prayer, and being in God's Word daily, God showed through. When I made the conscious choice to trust Him (with my words, mind and actions), my pregnancy was wonderful, even when I was uncomfortable.
I trust that God gives wisdom, as the Word promises. I trust that God would lead us to find ways of experiencing calm during the BLESSED time of bearing and nurturing new life, and not experience shrapnel from the curse of the fall. We don't have to experience fear, sorrow, worry and pain with Jesus Christ. I trust that God would tell me if I needed to seek higher education or someone with higher education should it be unavailable to me to handle a particular situation. God's desire for us is clear in the Word and I trust that with that desire comes the promise of bringing it to pass.
Hmm... I suppose I'm just rambling now! haha! That's my view on the matter!

Let me start by saying that I am a male. BUT... I have witnessed my girlfriend go through her first and probably only pregnancy at the age of 19. It was hell on her...I mean she had her good moments, as I am sure you do. And she had here weird moments. And she had her happy moments. But in the end it all seemed worth it. I was in the delivery room with her and I can honestly say I never had more respect for her until after that day.
So I guess all I can say is that being pregnant is tough, having a baby is tough, raising a baby is even tougher...but it's all worth it in the end.
Just one smile from my little girl and all the nights I was up while my girl was sick and tired and sore from everything just seem trivial now.
