So I found out recently I'm excepting baby number 4. Not planned at all, was on the mini pill as I'm still breastfeeding DD 3 who is 11 months. We're having a really crap time lately with the sleep as the two youngest aren't very good.
I haven't told my husband yet and I'm so terrified he will go bonkers. We were happy with three but the prospect of a termination isn't an option.
I need some advice on what to say etc I need to tell him soon because I'm starting to feel sick

It will be hard the first couple years and then it will get easier. It’s a short time in life and then you will have four lovely children. Focus on that 😀 kids grow up fast.

I'm exactly the same. DD is 1 next week, and I'm now 10/11 weeks pregnant, it was unplanned, and termination is not an option for me either. I feel like why you have wrote is exactly me lol! My DD is a terrible sleeper too, I'm exhausted with her, and the thought of another baby fills me with dread, however I know after the first few years it will be fine and I will forget I even worried about having two under two. I'm sure things will be ok( the prospect is just really daunting at first. I'm sure your three children will dote on the new baby and so will your husband and you will manage just fine. Fingers crossed your youngest two sort out their sleep patterns before this one comes!

@ty1996 I'm sure you right, I think what I'm panicking about the most is coping with three kids while feeling awful. I'm 6 weeks Sunday and already I'm feeling pretty rough x
