3 under 3!?

[babymartin2]

Hi everyone,

I currently have a 22 month old and a 10 week old and I think I'm pregnant🤦🏻‍♀️

Both pregnancies before were planned and this time we just weren't careful enough with contraception in this extremely fertile time.

I've had two very faint cheap tests and going to wait a couple days to see if I come on my period or not. (My period started when DS2 was 6 weeks)

I think I'm more looking for positivity, I wouldn't get a termination, I was forced into that when I was younger by an abusive partner and I'll never do it again, so my partner will defo be getting the snip after this!

Did you/have you 3 under 3? Or even just two within the same year? Please help me believe I can do this!

I had three in two years and three months.. so 13 and a half months between the first two, and when they were 17m and 4m old I was pregnant again with just over 12m between no 2 and no 3.

Once we had got over the shock it was FINE. Honestly! (and Dh was away a lot in the Armed Forces and no family within 120 miles!) With two little ones anyway, the third just slotted in (and had built in entertainment watching her brother and sister.)

I had a routine, got out to toddler groups every day with a double buggy and a sling! Yes we were knackered, but we were anyway!
Having three so close meant that activities were easy... toddler groups and toys suited them all. No 1 potty trained and the others literally copied !

They followed each other to nursery and then school, and while they squabbled like all siblings they were always very close...and still are now!

You can do this (if it's positive :) )

I was nuts enough to have a 4th three years later!!!!
