Anyone survive 3 kids under 2.5?

[Ladymuck]

My friend happily announced that she was pg again - her ds1 will be 2.5 and her dd1 will be 16m when the new baby arrives. She had been on anti-ds since ds1 was born (except for last trimester of 2nd pg).

I think that she is mad (I'm afraid). It's not as if she has had easy pgs or babies. I just can't imagine how she will physically cope?

my aunt has done 3 kids under 2.7!

the baby is now a few months, and eldest has just done his 3rd birthday!

When baby was about 2 weeks old the childminder had a massive crisis (her husband was told had just weeks ro live with cancer) so she had no childminder either and had all 3 ro cope with herself

Oh and they moved house last week!

(oh i dont know HOW she does it, i just conclude she MUST be wonder woman!!!)

Blimey!

My friend doesn't work, and they're planning to move house (but her dh is useless so she will end up doing everything). Not sure how she will cope post birth this time. She managed last time because ds1 wasn't walking by then. ds1 will be due to start pre-school I guess by the time the next arrives, but not great timing - potty training whilst heavily pg etc.

I guess I'm just worried that she won't cope... Not sure what to do. She won't drive (too nervous to drive in London) and her house is quite small so there isn't much room if we go to visit (eg I can't take my 2 children with me - she doesn't have a room with enough room for 4 children plus 2 adults!).

It was difficult keeping a happy face on for her news!
