Will I regret 3rd baby?

[courtney251]

Hi,

I have just found out I am pregnant with my third child. I already have 2 boys who are 3 & 5. I’ve always thought I wanted another baby but now it’s happened ( Wasn’t planned ) I’m kind of freaking out. Will I cope? How will I manage? Will I regret it? By the time baby comes my sons will both be in full time education so I guess that will make it easier but I’m scared. Has Anybody got any advice?

Anybody?

I'm not sure I ever heard someone say they regretted having a baby. It might be tough with three (as it was with two and with just one), but your house will be filled with even more love and laughter. I think you have the initial shock as it wasn't planned but I don't think you will regret it. Embrace your situation and feel blessed you're able to get pregnant. Plus maybe it's a girl? How cute would it be to have two older brothers. Breathe, mama. You can do this

I have three boys, with almost identical spacings, and it's amazing. They're 15, 13 and 9 now and our home is happy and busy. I found the first year to be quite intense, but then the baby stage is not my favourite, and after that you are back into cruise mode, although it helps to be organized. It is quite an expensive business though, so that's worth bearing in mind.

Oh, and get the biggest washing machine that you can.
