Unplanned 3rd pregnancy

[Tanith2017]

Feeling completely in despair. I know it's completely unfair to those who are desperate for children, I can only apologise if this offends. But I have a daughter who has just turned two and just had my second daughter 4.5 months. I've used contraception everytime without fail and breastfeeding exclusively which I know isn't protection but, simply cannot understand how it has happened. I have been adamant that I want no more children, as I am about to start my second year of university. I am desperately trying to finish after already going through my first year pregnant and not managing to complete as I had my daughter in April. Feeling completely lost as I feel I cannot justify giving up a child when I am already a mother in a loving supportive family. I just don't know how I would even begin to cope. I mean three under three whilst doing university! Feeling so confused. Wandering if anyone else has found themselves in this situation!???

Mine is an unplanned 4th, I'll have 4 aged 4 and under. Now that I'm over the shock I'm ok with it. I work full time and have a lovely set up. I was just setting up a new business which I've been too ill to do anything with since I found out. But it's all ok. We can afford the baby and it will be loved.

You will manage and when you can't, you'll make decisions that work for you. So don't panic, things will fall into place.

I completed an Access course in 2014/15, deferred my degree as had my first daughter at the end of August. After waiting the year and finding out I was pregnant 2 weeks before starting university last year I still went and was determined to finish. But my 2nd daughter was born in April and felt I was unable to complete the last exams over summer. I'm about to start again in 2 weeks. I know my career isn't the be all and end all but I have struggled with education my whole life and am so desperate to complete and start my future. May I add I am 24 years old so a young mum. My partner who is 39 is finishing his final studies this year also to start his new career of becoming a teacher. I feel like I'm making the worst excuses but it's just relative to my situation. But ultimately I don't know if I could terminate a pregnancy just because of difficult circumstances.

I'm currently pregnant with an unplanned 3rd baby and I totally freaked at first! I have 2 DDs age 5 and 7 and we were totally done with the whole baby thing, with no plan for any more. I work full time and am also in the final year of my masters degree, so... yeah, not great timing! I'm getting my head around it now and am actually feeling excited. I'm worried about how I will cope with doing everything but I can do it! I may need to request an extension for my dissertation deadline though. Take some time to get your head around things, everything will be ok in the end :)
