I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant with dc4. I'm starting to panic, I've had such a difficult day I feel like I've been pulled in 50 different directions by the children and I know it's going to get a million time worse in a couple of months time.
My dp is great but he leaves at 8 and gets home at 6 I'm a SAHM and the house and children are my responsibility, he does help out as soon as he gets home by bathing and helping to put them to bed.
I'm really worried about how I'm going to cope with four. My eldest is nine and will be going into year five after the summer and will be sitting her 11+ at the start of year 6 so needs loads of help and support I am wondering how the hell I'm going to do this with three under four as well.
My three year old seems to have had a personality transplant and has become so naughty over the last few weeks feel like I'm continuously telling her off.
My ten month old seems to be intent on causing himself as much harm as possible, he's just started cruising and I've lost track of how many times he's bumped himself today.
I'm so exhausted by the end of the day I could cry (and frequently do!) I feel pathetic because there are people on here with more children than me I just feel like I'm failing and not doing a very good job at the moment. I have a huge pile of ironing to do but back is killing me and I'm knackered.
Have I made a huge mistake how the hell am I going to cope? :(

Firstly you are amazing! Three children and one on the way is bloody hard work. I only have two boys and I find myself getting overwhelmed sometimes.
At 27 weeks pregnant you will be exhausted so everything will seem worse. Your eldest will be fine, can you sit with her when the younger children have gone to bed and dh have the baby when it's here?
Housework and ironing can wait.
I do find that my boys play up when I'm tired or feeling low. It's like they can sense I'm vulnerable.
I hope this helps a little
