I went bigger with no3,and had more heartburn.but apart from that it was more or less the same.I didnt find it any harder,as i was still working up to 7 months,but i had an older child and a 11 month old aswell,so i was more tired...

good luck and congratulations.x

No different apart from not feeling any movements until around 22w.

In general I wouldn't say my 3rd pregnancy was any different at all (even though no.3 was a boy after 2 girls). I was so so tired the whole time though, more so than with previous pregnancies - mainly due to having a 3 & 1 yr old as well as working part time I suppose.

I am currently 35 weeks with no 3, and have definately found this pregnancy harder, but probably because my other 2 are still pre-school (oldest will go in Sept!). Just doesn't seem to be any time to rest with working part time and looking after the other 2 kids...symptoms are probably the same though, just me not coping as well! Still we manage to get though all these things, I'm sure I will forget all this once the baby actually arrives!

I found my 3rd pregnancy surprisingly easy. I was 39 with a 12 month old baby (he was 20 months when baby was born)and 6 yr old and was working 3 days per week. I think you get so used to being busy all the time that you forget what not being tired feels like if that makes sense. I went to bed at 9pm most nights.
My 3rd baby moved constantly in utero and is now a v active baby.
First 2 babies were early and 3rd was 11 days late and had to be induced! Birth was definitely easier and my stitches healed v quickly afterwards although I became seriously ill with septicaemia a few days after birth which was a big shock although just v bad luck.
Good luck with it all it will be so worth it!
