Help me through today. Just found out I'm pregnant with (unolanned) baby no 3

[Mixedupmummy]

I'm shaking. I'm happy but terrified. DH doesn't know yet. Won't be able to tell him until this evening.
Got my 2 Dds and dd' s friend here today. Need to pull myself together.
I had a sneaky suspicion for the last few days but my periods are slightly irregular. I'm not completely surprised as we weren't being very careful but it was unplanned and isn't the best timing for a few reasons. My health, dh' s work. I wanted a 3rd in a year or 2 but dh was happy with 2 and I was finally feeling less broody and thought I might be happy with just 2.

Not sure what I'm asking. Sure it will all be fine but ..... ahhh!
Anyone been here and all been well?
How do survive today looking after 3 kids with my head all over the place?
Sorry I've written this like I'm thinking it.

I was in the same situation, now 17 weeks pregnant with no.3

It was indeed a shock and I actually thought something was wrong with me I was so ill, it never occurred to me to think I was pregnant.

We were happy with two and hadn't planned on having any more. The age gap will be large as the younges with be 8 when this little one is born.

It took a while for us to get over the shock and for us both to come round to the idea of starting again. I'll be honest and tell you there were some tears and some arguments but now we are happily looking forward the new arrival.

I hope all has gone well with telling your DH. Good luck for the future.

Congratulations. Our number 3 was unexpected and it took DH a while to be as excited as me but he got there in the end and now 16 years later they are inseparable.

Aw thank you for your replies. I'm feeling much calmer. Dh was great and is all excited. He's even looking at new cars already. He loves a research project.
Congratulations Lily, I'm glad to hear we're not alone.
Notangliena it's nice to hear all is well further done the line.

I found out we were expecting 11 years after our last!!!! We were in such shock..... I literally burst into tears. However within a couple of days we had decided to go ahead as really there wasn't a good reason not to. (Although.... we don't have the space). He is now 6 months old and we are so happy and in love with him. Both my DH and I think he is the best thing ever..... so much easier this time around.... and we are so happy it happened. Although I had periods of doubt during pregnancy I haven't had a second of regret since he was born. Remember.... it's only a baby!?? Not a nuclear bomb..... it's what happens in life! Congratulations xxxxx

We've got an almost 3 and a half year old and a 16 month old. I'm almost 22 weeks pregnant with number three which was an enormous shock. I was still breastfeeding, had only had two half period then it looks as though I ovulated about a week earlier than normal and got caught out. Oops.

DH delighted, I was stunned and panicking for a while. Got my head around it now and very excited.

I'm looking at it as if it was meant to be! Congratulations and good luck!

Wow 1Violetcreamthat must have been a huge shock! My eldest is 5 next month and current littlest is 17 months and it was a shock enough for us. I just keep thinking I've only not been pregnant for little over a year!

Ginlinessisnexttogodliness congratulations to you too. You're right, meant to be! That'll be lovely yours are all so close in age. I am one of 3 with only 10 months between me and my sister and 14 months between sister and brother. Obviously my mum was mad - but it was great fun growing up x

This is my situation at the moment! 3yo ds, 2yo ds and im 28 weeks 😬 We had decided in November that we were happy at two, hubby went to see the doctor to start the process to have the snip and then i fell pregnant in December.. i think I cried for about 6 weeks and it took me about 4 months to come around to the idea, hubby was fine about it though! It was obviously meant to be and i am now looking forward to having another baby 😀

melissasummerfield my dh said last night he's off to the docs as soon as this baby is born!

So is mine mixedupmummy!! 😜
