Hi to everyone out there,
I've never been on here before so not sure how it works. Hope I can work it out.
I just found out that I am 4 weeks pregnant with baby no 3. I know I should be over the moon but I'm quite nervous. It wasn't planned and whilst we had thought about another bubba, I had only recently decided to definitely stick to two. Ha ha, and here I am with no 3 on the way.
I know that I should feel happy and privileged to be pregnant again but we have had an awful couple of years and I'm not sure that I will be able to cope with a 3rd. I am currently a 39 year old stay at home mum with a 4 year old girl and 2 year old boy. We have no family nearby to help us and I already struggle with caring full time for my kids. I'm just finding the stay at home role a little isolating and was thinking of going back to work but I'm now pregnant. My husband works away a lot and my mother in law is not well and requires increasing support. I also get a bit low during my pregnancies and whilst I'm determined to seek support, it does make me a little nervous.
I guess, I just need some encouragement. How did all you mummas out there cope with going from 2 to 3? Has it been as crazy as it seems to me at this time? Ha ha. Any advice is welcome.
Much appreciated.
