3rd pregnancies and babies

[lozza22]

i found out today im pregnant and as yet not told anyone cos im in shock as it wasnt planned and the timing isnt great as recently had surgery plus couple other factors. I just cant imagine how ile cope with three kids, my kids are 6 and 3 but thr 3 year old is a handfull. any mums who have had 3 kids and can offer any advice cos i dont think i cud choose to end it without very gud reason like risk to me or the baby. i can only be fivevweeks max but already feeling very stressed :-[

I'm due my 3rd next week, I have a 7yr old and a 2yr old, I went through a panic stage of 'how am I gonna cope etc' but I'm positive that everything will be fine :) by the time your baby arrives your other 2 will be at school and nursery for the majority of the day which will put you in a set routine without even trying :) x

By the way, my 2yr old at the minute is an absolute nightmare, and won't be starting nursery for a while as she's an October baby so just has to wait for a place, but I'm confident she will grown out of it, so I know how hard it is having a difficult toddler x

Hi, I have just had my 3rd baby, she is now 14 weeks, other two are 4 and 3. I was worried about how if cope too, but I can honestly say it is fine. Pregnancy was really hard with the other two little ones, but now dd2 is here thugs are soo much better - she is fabulous and totally worth it (as they all are). Three is busy, a handful, always someone wanting something! But I really love it, and sleeping, resting and sitting down are over rated anyway! Good luck and try by to worry.

I have 3 boys, 1, 6 and 7. I won't say it's easy, but I cope and my life is never quiet boring...

My 3rd was unexpected too, but a welcome surprise. He's been the most challenging of the three, but I have plenty of experience to draw on.

Thugs = things!

I have 4 weeks left till my 3rd is due, mine are 4.5 and 2 years, they are both nightmares lol, and I do panic at times thinking its already hard at times. But I believe in things happen for a reason and it won't be hard forever. Mine wasn't planned and it was a shock its only just started to sink in, but I can't wait now :) I'm sure it will all work out fine whatever you decide. Good luck xx

another one here expecting a surprise third. only 7 weeks gone so still in shock and trying to get into the idea. I'm knackered already looking after a very headstrong 4.5 yr old and a bonkers 14 month old.

I have 3 5,3 & 1 and am expecting another! It was fine but hard in the beginning I actually love having 3 congratulations and good luck

I had a third 'surprise'. So I now have three boys; 10, 7 and 6 (13 months apart). Despite going through a few years of bloody hard work when they were little, they are a bundle of fun and I wouldn't change them for the world just relax, you can't change what is done - enjoy the ride and try to think of the good points, my only regret is not enjoying what was my last pregnancy as I was also too worried about how I'd cope! You find a way (and the third is usually much less needy ).
