Just got a BFP with baby #3 - feeling overwhelmed and scared

[minnierose3]

Hi this is something that we have talked about for about a year, I've always wanted a big family but things are now getting so easy with just 2 I was now starting to come round to the idea that it was perhaps a better plan to stick at 2, we were playing on the beach yesterday and I just felt so exhausted tired something didn't seem right - a day before AF is due and just got a BFP feeling so weird not even Told my hubby yet 🙀 feel like I need to comprehend it in my own mind first!, can anyone offer any words of advice?. Or make me feel better

congratulations!!

it was clearly meant to be! :) No advice as im pregnant with #1 !!

Deep breathe and tell him, he will im sure be really excited.

Need to get these 2 in bed first, can't talk properly with them about x

What is a bfp? Sorry I am due to see my midwife next week with first so I have no idea about abbreviations in relation to pregnancy.

@unicornsandbows big fat positive!!

@unicornsandbows big fat positive!!

You’ll be fine! I had 3 under 3yrs and now pregnant with my 9th. Eldest is now 17 and youngest 22 months. I really enjoyed my 3rd baby...so much easier than number 1 (traumatic birth ... didn’t have a clue!) and number 2 (omg I’ve got 2 babies!). Xxx

Oooohhh I have one of those too yaaaaay!!! 😍 Thanks I would have never figured it out!!

Congratulations 🎊 😍... I never wanted to have any children and it took me three days to absolutely get excited. It's never a right time or perfect timing but somehow everything will fall into place!! Have you managed to speak to your hubby xx

No, don't think I will today, just need to let it sink in a bit. I want it to be when it's just us and he's supposed to be going out tonight. He's not sure at the mo so if he decides to stay in I may end up telling him x

Oh and congratulations by the way x

I was in pretty much the exact same position as you and also suddenly felt scared and over whelmed. I am now 2 weeks away from planned birth and i couldn't be more excited or happy. It may take a few days or even weeks to get over your nerves but I am sure you will get there and the excitement will kick in x

Oh wow thanks for that @Aries456! Congratulations, hope it all goes well xx

Thank you @Minirose3. I know you must be wondering if it is the right thing atm as you have just settled into the idea of your 2 but talk to your partner and i give yourself a bit of time to adjust to the idea. Will all.be fine!

Yeah we just sort of have the 'perfect' little family and things are getting (relatively!!) so much easier now, worried I'm upsetting the apple cart a bit 😕 me and dh are at an event tmw night child free I think I'm going to try and talk to him then, he's not some horrible DH, he'll most likely be over the moon but I just love our life. family so much as it is. Sorry if hat sounds awful just feel so confused

Don’t worry 3 is a great number , just let the shock wear off and you will be thrilled .

@ichifanny, thanks 💛💛 it's still not sunk in at all 😱

Still not told my DH!! 🙈🙈

I think you need too. Is he off from work today as it’s bank holiday? Sorry I realise I’m assuming you are in the Uk! If he is off, best to tell him so he can get over the shock before going back to work!

Yeah we are actually going out to an event tonight child free so think I'm going to say something then, maybe in the car on way there or back. Feel so nervous

Told my DH last night and he is happy 😍 just everyone else's reactions to contend with now!!! Xx

Lovely news! Imagine the reactions I’ll be getting when we announce I’m pregnant with no 9! 😳🤗 Parents haven’t approved since number 5! They had 4 so couldn’t say anything before then really...although my mum was horrified at 3 under 3! 😬 perhaps she thought she’d be asked to help - she hasn’t and doesn’t 😂
