I'm 32 weeks with baby no3 and have a 4 year old and toddler at home (4yr old starts school in Sept). Youngest doesn't go to nursery (sahm) and so I'm starting to feel really exhausted and my body just aches. 😴
I hardly know (well) anyone else who's had 3 and everyone I speak to who's pregnant are on their first or second with older dc and I feel like I'm struggling with the tiredness more this time, so kind of wanted to moan to people who know what it's like to be putting your body though it again and running around after two!

Anyone?

Yep! 25 weeks, I have a 2 year old and a 6 year old. My husband is usually away, he's a long haul truck driver. I'm feeling that exhaustion!

Cupcakegirl13 · 16/07/2017 19:25

Me !! I'm 33 weeks and have a 4 year old
Starting school in Sep and a DD 2.8 yrs. I'm exhausted and finding the children such hard work too and all I can thinknof is at least 7 more weeks to go !!

BoraThirch · 16/07/2017 19:29

I'm also 32 weeks and have a 3 year old and 6 year old and work full time. I am tired, my back aches and I feel a bit generally unwell all the time Angry

Ava1985 · 16/07/2017 19:44

Marking my place too ladies !

Mine are a little older than the rest of your dc, at just turned 7 and 4! 4 year old also starts school In sept so I will have plenty of time time to myself/work. But until then we have the 6 week hols to contend with and I'm pretty strung out on 'morning' sickness at 9 weeks!

3 sounds so much fun though! Grin

37+6 weeks here with no3 and have a 2.5 year old and 18 month old. I am a sahm at the moment but studying part time with the ou and have started to struggle. Feeling very uncomfortable and frankly fed up of being pregnant. Have to spend all tomorrow morning at hospital diabetes clinic as consultant has decided that my gtt test from early May is now borderline GD and I am to be treated as such from 38 sodding weeks, very annoyed!

mammabear4 · 16/07/2017 19:58

Hello! I have an almost 3 year old and am pregnant with twins so on my second and third in one go. I'm exactly the same - my DD is only in nursery one day and I'm really struggling with tiredness and horrendous sickness at the moment (I'm 15+2). She will be starting in an F1 3 days a week from September which will be some relief.

Great to hear from some SAHMs, I'm currently working (I'm a teacher) but will be giving that up when the twins arrive and not going back for the foreseeable future - we can't afford nursery fees for two, it's almost not worth it for me to work and I think I would rather dedicate the time to my 3 little ones (three!! 😱)

Hi

Yip currently 34 wks with baby 3 and have a nearly 4 yr old and 15 month old. This pregnancy has been the worst! Constant morning/noon/night sickness from day 1. Im in total agony all day when baby moves and baby is back to back too 🙈

Just keep think the 4 yr old goes back to nursery 5 afternoons on 15 august and i get took in for section on 17 august. Thankfully i have my mum stays very close to me so will help with the 15 month old whilst i recover. Doesnt help i stay top flat as well. Dreading the first few wks buy also cant wait for my baby to be here. Least this one is my last as we decided on sterilisation this time. Think 3 kids 4 and under is plenty lol xx

mummyGof2boys · 16/07/2017 21:11

Hi, I'm 8 weeks with my third. I have a 4 and 3 year old. First starts school in August and second starts pre school in August. Thank god. I feel like utter shit 😷😷

Efferlunt · 16/07/2017 21:40

Me! 24 weeks. Have 5 and 7 year olds. Very nervous about going back to nappies and sleep deprivation.

Impatientwino · 16/07/2017 21:57

I'm 30 weeks with DS3 and am being induced at 37 weeks for medical reasons.

I'm nearly 39 and this pregnancy has been so much harder than my previous 2 at age 33 and 36 I'm exhausted! Recently diagnosed with gestational diabetes which I had with DS1 but not DS2. Every part of me aches. Roll on 3rd September!

Another one here a bit scared of going back to sleepless nights and the nappies but also I can't wait and I know how short term that stage is now, it's over in a blink really when you look back - just while you're in it that if feels like forever Smile

VinIsGroot · 16/07/2017 22:05

Not pregnant..thank the lord!!!BUT did have 3 year old 20 month -er when DC 3 was born! DS2 is severely disabled do spent lots of time in hospital...DH waves his willy at me and I'm pregnant!
Anyhoo..Youngest DC is 6now and I've survived with severly disabled DS2 and autistic DS1.....
Stress thee not!

eekmumps · 16/07/2017 22:20

Me! I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old and am only 21 weeks but feel bloody knackered! By the time DC3 comes along eldest will be in school so that will ease a bit of pressure I think. Eldest being a VERY testing 4 year old at the moment and I have 0 patience and massive mum guilt 😬.

Not looking forward to sleepless nights again but will never find it as bad as the first time. That massive culture shock was horrendous!

blinkineckmum · 16/07/2017 23:35

I'm due in March and by then will have a just turned 4yo and a 2yo! I found the first 2 very easy as babies but not as toddlers, so I am much more nervous this time!

AmyB1986 · 16/07/2017 23:39

Expecting our 3rd here too. Have two dd's aged 9 and 7 and dd3 due 19th oct. 26+3 here

FinalPush · 17/07/2017 06:58

Good to hear Im not alone! we can do this!!

Dc1&2 are waking up soooo early at the moment and I'm already dreading how tired I'll feel after being up with a newborn all through the night! At least I can get back on the coffee! I'm not a massive fan of the newborn stage, but as this is our last one I'm going to try and enjoy the cuddles as much as I can! It does go so quickly!

I finished breastfeeding my second 8 months ago and now am flat as a pancake now, so I am also worried about what a third pregnancy will leave me with!

blinkineckmum · 17/07/2017 07:59

I am a huge fan of the newborn stage, more worried about having 2toddlers again!

Pip84 · 17/07/2017 08:08

Finalpush! Total understand where you are coming from. I was up till 2am with morning sickness then my 1 yr old gets up at 6am 😩 OH just lies in bed and im trying to get lo his breakfast etc whilst trying to get the oldest one back to bed or he will be grumpy alllll day. So looking forward to baby 3 coming along. 4 wks and 3 days fill d day 🙈

Ginlinessisnexttogodliness · 17/07/2017 22:46

I'm 23+3 with baby number three.
Have a almost 3 1/2 year old son and 16 month old girl.
I am beyond exhausted and my two little chicks have both hit a purple patch of high octane naughtiness at exactly the same time.
It's tough.
I will be induced at 38 weeks or week earlier I think due to previous rather big baby at 39 weeks plus my advancing years!

It's not fun being pregnant in this heat either. I am wilting.

Mumoftheark · 18/07/2017 07:12

Hi, I'm 17 weeks and pregnant with number 3. I have a 5 year old and almost 3 year old who will start mornings at pre school in September. Suffering with hyperemesis and my DH works away Monday-Friday. I have completely neglected my children.
Part of me can't wait for the summer holidays so I don't have to do the school run, but part of me is wondering how the hell I will survive.

My main worry about having 3 is the morning school run. It's total chaos as it is, my youngest will start nursery at 8.30am, how I'm going to get out the house on time everyday I really don't know.

Ginlinessisnexttogodliness · 18/07/2017 09:51

@Mumoftheark I too am dreading the school - well fifteen hours of free childcare hell run. I will have to get a 3.5 year old, a 19 month old and a newborn baby out of the house for 8am everyday in the dark winter mornings.
Hope the sickness eases soon, it's awful isn't it. Ind you mind has come back a bit again like it did with the last two

mummyGof2boys · 18/07/2017 12:30

I can't wait for the school runs!!! Peace and quiet nearly all day. Dd2 starts preschool and is in Tuesday 8.45-11.45 and wednesday, Thursday 8.45-3.15 and a Friday I pay for a full day. Dd1 stars school so full days Monday to Friday. Can't bloody wait 😂😂😂
