Hi ladies,

I've just found out that I am pregnant (very early days) with my 3rd. I have told my OH, he's asked what we are going to do but there are a lot of people who are against me having this child such as my mother and mother in law etc..

I don't know what to do I need some advise :(

Thank you

3 is hardly a large family OP.

Is another baby going to cause a problem in terms of space. Or childcare. How old are your dcs?
It has nothing to do with anyone except you and dh, so ignore Dm & dmil.

Why are they against you having this child?

Regardless, it's your decision.

My eldest will be 3 in November and youngest is 18 months. I have worked out that the baby will be born in June.

I am a stay at home mum so childcare wouldn't be an issue it's more just financial strain I am a bit worried about and so are our families!!

We were trying for a 3rd a few months back but I never got pregnant so now it's a bit of a shock to the system lol!!

Well if you were TTC then this is a wanted baby? What's changed in the last few months that it's suddenly unaffordable?

Oliviajmcc1 · 25/09/2018 20:30

Nothing has changed, just I decided that I was happy with my 2 boys and didn't want anymore. Was on CC hence the shock lol xx

Do what you want because if you let other people’s opinions on this sway you, you could end up resenting.
3 isn’t an overly big family at all :)

I am also pregnant with my third, I was in complete shock at first however believe it is meant to be. my son will be 6 and daughter 4 when baby is born. I stay in a 2 bedroom house with tiny rooms I Have a Suzuki swift and I'm in 2nd year uni. the stress of everything is overwhelming however I don't feel it will be much different going from 2 - 3 but just the car situation and money situation really worrying me!! congratulations xx

Firstly, congratulations.

Forget about everyone else's (DM, MIL etc.) opinion. How do you feel about it? Do you want this baby? Be kind to yourself, everything will work out for you. Flowers
