Hello. I am pregnant with my third and looking for others who are also in their first trimester pregnant with a third. I am 6 weeks tomorrow and have 2 dc age 5 and 7 plus a puppy, 1 year old :)

What about you? When do you plan to tell the kids? I think I'm going to wait until 12 weeks....although its hard! As slipped already once in front of my dd, but she did not seem to notice.

Omg im pregnant with my 3rd and im 6 weeks tomorrow too!! How funny..
I have my daughter who is 3 and my son who is 14months.
I am going to wait until i have a noticable bump because my 3yr old has autism and she won't understand or get confused so if i have a bump she knows that means theres a baby inside so i will wait until then😁.x

I am 9 weeks in to my third pregnancy today and have a 8 year old with autism and a 6 year old I'm a little worried to tell them as they both have said in the past they don't won't any brothers or sisters and my 6 year old is very clingy to me but I'm gonna wait till my 12week scan an show them and see how it goes fingers crossed haha

My 14month old is super clingy to me i am also worrying about that

I'm 4 weeks with my 3rd. My others are almost 4 and 18 months. I want to tell them but my oldest will tell everyone so not ready for that yet! Really excited though

Mamabear12 · 28/04/2019 13:30

Yea, I think when they are younger its better to wait until later...as for them the wait will seem like forever for the baby to come out...also they might not really notice belly is getting bigger lol. My first is 20 months older so she didn't notice anything lol. I did read her loads of books about baby coming, big sister etc. Now they are old enough to notice so I will tell them 12 weeks. Both have said many times they want a younger brother or sister. Will be interesting to see their reactions.

Hi mums. Congratulations all!
I'm pregnant with my third also, 5+5. I've a 5yr and 2yr old. I plan to tell them once we get the all clear from the 12 week scan. My daughter won't be able to keep a secret. How are you all feeling? Do you feel like your symptoms are similar or different to previous pregnancies you've had? I'm getting a lot of lower abdo aches chasing after my 2 year old.

Almost leaving my first tri with my 3rd but have a 10 month old and 7 yr old.

Not telling 7 yr old until we've had our 12 week scan (next week). I know he'll be over the moon to have another sibling

I'm almost 14 weeks with #3 but haven't told my other kids yet. DD is 5 and DS is 2. Last time we waited until we'd had the 20 scan to tell DD but I'll have to let on sooner this time because I'm pretty sure she'll notice the bump!

FaithEloise · 28/04/2019 19:17

@snowflakeeel i have been having cramps too! Iv been craving salt & vinegar crisps too, i did when i was pregnant with my son and i dont even like salt & vinegar normally so im convinced this ones a boy too yay😁..

Hi. I'm 7 weeks pregnant with my 3rd child. I've got a 9yr old and a 4yr old. I'll wait to tell them after the first trimester as they wouldn't be able to keep a secret. However I've been asking my youngest if he would like to have a baby brother or a baby sister and he seems to like the idea.

kkl1 · 12/05/2019 15:06

How's everyone doing 11weeks 1 day now so gettin closer to that 12week mark im showing already please tell me other people are this early haha

Mamabear12 · 12/05/2019 15:59

I was a bit bloated before, but now less bloated so not really showing. My middle just looks slightly bigger. Boobs are bigger. But I’m only 8 weeks lol. By 12 weeks I’ll probab start showing. 😀 I had a 6 week scan and saw baby and heart beat. ❤️ I always waited until 12 weeks and now I’m not sure how I managed to wait so long! Will do another scan at 10 weeks and harmony test. The harmony test wasn’t really out or not many doing it with my first two. Now it seems everyone does it (at least the people I know!). Can’t wait to finally tell my kids. Wish I knew it were safe to tell them now, as might make things easier when I’m too tired to play etc to let them know why!

Hey I'm the same I had a scan at 5 weeks and then again at 7 weeks as no heart beat found and all okay then I had another one at 10 weeks I was just worried so had another scan and then my next scan is a week on Tuesday then we going to pay for a 16wrek scan and then stop at 20 weeks haha well try to 🤣

Hi I’m 9+3 with #3! Got a 4 year old and a 2 year old already. This pregnancy has been far the hardest, Iv felt so nauseous and exhausted. I really wanted an early scan but just never got round to booking one as it’s awkward getting childcare and appointments are normally weekend/evening so we haven’t. This makes me nervous though as had an early miscarriage (5.5 weeks) in January. Trying to just get to my scan in 3 weeks time and keeping fingers crossed all is ok!

kkl1 · 13/05/2019 21:16

It's so hard isn't it gettin to your scan dates when you Carnt feel the baby move I find it the hardest part I have a scan a week tomorrow for my 12 week and had one at 10 weeks but I feel like it's taking forever to get to it

Kaa16 · 14/05/2019 20:00

I've just found out I'm around 4 weeks with my third! My two girls are 2 and 4 and I am stresssssing!! My hormones are through the roof, didn't feel this hormonal with my other two xx
