Think I am pregnant with #3 not sure how I feel...

[Aries456]

Hi all, I will try and keep this brief: after TTC with #2 for quite a while (and convincing myself I was unable to conceive again!) I was reluctant to go back in the pill after she was born. I couldnt bear to say she was my last and have been broody since she turned 6 months. Then I had a scare, was disappointed I wasn't pregnant but decided it was actually it is for the best. Bought protection and have used that the past 4 monthss- until christmas hols when DH and I had sex had unprotected sex twice and now I have period cramps with no period and think I was due yesterday.
And suddenly I am a bit scared. What if I have to have a 3rd C section? What about those first couple of months (I had PND with my first) what if I can't manage to exclusively pump when I have 3 to look after(I can't latch)? But also... wow, maybe another little baby to complete the family.
I am going to buy a test this afternoon but have been awake since 4.30 thinking about it and needed to tell someone!

3rd csection will be ok, unless there are other problems. After 2 there's no vbac option offered.

You'll be ok. I had pnd with my first 2, but not my third! You can prepare and hopefull have a support network in place. Good luck!

You knew what you were doing when you had unprotected sex twice.

Thank you Karlalacka, I thought a VBAC might be out of the question. Perhaps that is a relief there wouldn't be an option. Were you ok either your 3rd then? No PND?
And stranger, didn't your mother ever tell you if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all? I am talking about the complex emotions people may feel when they think they are pregnant. Perhaps you are too simple to appreciate what I was saying.

3rd section is totally fine.

The first few months will be fine, you will recognise if you have PND and reach out.

Pumping will be fine if it's what you want to do. There's no shame in taking a different option either if it suits you. You have choices.

Good luck.

strangerhoes Don’t be a nob

OP you will be fine, lots of women gave multiple babies, C sections. Can you take a test? Cxx

Thank you United, I am excited and happy at the idea - just got the jitters I guess. I was the same with #2 and I had desperately TTC for 9 months with her! Knee jerk reaction. Phew...and breathe!

Hi Try try try, just was just waiting for baby to have her nap then going to head into town. I feel exactly as I did with #1 though so I am feeling pretty sure. Of course I could just be mad and over-reacting! Night of conception would have been 23rd December so a test would show now.

Aries456 I think it’s exciting! I would love to be in your position 😊 let us know how you get in with your test xxx

Thank you so much for posting try - assuming from the name you are TTC this year? It's just funny because even a month ago I would have been pure joy at the idea. Think it is literally because I had finally put the idea out of me head. Anyway, appreciate the kind words. Will update later! X

My mum has had 4 csections and all have been completely fine. Her last two, she was 35 and 37 so they were reluctant but had no choice.

Yes I’m trying TTC my first, lost one a year ago due to ectopic. Fingers crossed for my BFP soon 😊

Yes update us 😊😁🤞

You'll be fine! How exciting though after you thought DC2 might be your last

I am really very sorry for your loss try, I can't imagine how hard that must be. Lots and lots of positive vibes for 2018 now then :)
Ok...so there is a faint but very definite line!!! Omg!! Baby number 3!! Wow.
9 months and a lot of tears to conceive #2... 1 night and a bit too much Bailey's for #3!!! It must be meant :) Omg. Omg. Omg!!

Congrats OP!

I just wanted to pick up on some of the comments about no vbac after 2 c sections. Vba2c is something that happens, it isn’t out of the question and there are an increasing number of women who go for and have vba2c. Of course, c section is fine if that’s your choice but I wanted you to know that vbac is not totally out of the question. Congrats again!

Thank you tea. Tbh another c section is the main reason I was scared as I hated my first 2. So good to know options I will talk with HV once I register with one etc. Thank you

Yay brilliant news! Congratulations 😁💐💐💐

Thank you try, feel a bit dizzy I am such an explosion of emotions!! Wishing you all the luck in the world for this year - look forward to seeing your post on here sometime this year :) xxx ps for #2 I swore by 7 seas TTC tablets x

Oh thank you! I will post when it happens 😁 Thsnks for the seven seas tip 😁 let us know how you get on with the pregnancy 😊

Congratulations!
We had decided (after a lot of discussion, for very many very good reasons) that we were stopping at 2. Then I had a Mirena failure and No3 is sitting on the sofa with me right now - playing on her phone as she's 14 and off school right now!

3 is great, wishing you all the best for a healthy pregnancy xx

weegiemum what a lovely post. So nice to hear about a happy family of 5! Yes, I gave been thinking all day about a family with 3 - feels right to me (I am 1 of 3 so maybe that is it?). I am already 99% certain it is another boy too, judt how I imagineed things. Will wait until DH is sitting down before showing him - we are doing dry January (good job too!) but he might need to break out a beer! Thanks for posting x
