3rd pregancy worries

[Nic28]

Hi all!
I have not long found out that I am pregnant for the 3rd time. I am approx 8.5 weeks and it is a complete shock. I have two sons ,My eldest boy is 9 and my youngest is 2.5. I feel like life has started to simmer down now that my youngest is becoming more independent etc and I really just feel worried about how I will manage another baby. My. Last pregancy went well but my son had. Colic from 6weeks old and throughout his first year really unsettled and unhappy. I suffered from post natal depression as a result and I am petrified of putting us all through it again. Does anyone have any advice please? Thank you x

I was here writing the same Im 22 weeks now with my 3rd I have a 3 and a 2 year old already we didn't want anymore hubby was booked in for snip and 2 weeks before I found out I was pregnant. I was distraught as I didn't want anymore. Had to put my career on hold again :/ when I was just getting back into it. Our son had bad colic too and me and my husband split for 3 months When he was 5 months old. Our relationship is good now and has been for over a year, but so scared we are going to end up down the same road. I have no advice just wanted you to know your not on your own. I just pray we don't have a colicky baby. I can't take that again hopefully it will be a doddl my friends aay the transition to 3 is not as much of a shock as it is when you go from 1 to 2 and you get into the swing of things quicker. I hope they are right

Thanks for your message. The colic was so awful that it left us thinking that was it -no more kids! I felt as though my eldest just had to take a back seat and it made me feel so guilty😓 hopefully we will get used to it- my husband is coming round to it now. My sister has just found out that she is expecting her first baby next year and I was happy enough with the prospect of becoming an auntie! Now I hope she doesn't feel I am stealing her thunder with our announcement!thank you x

I'm 23w with number 3. Ds 6 and dd 4, I went though that stage of omg what the hell am I doing having a 3rd when my youngest is starting school next year. However now I'm really looking forward to dd2's arrival.
