Accidentally Pregnant with 4th baby!!!!

[Tails5290]

So I am 7 weeks and pregnant with my 4th. Even typing it sounds so scary. My youngest is 8 months old. Baby wasn't planned at all and thought my baby days had come to an end. Question is, is it a big leap from 3 to 4?

I've heard so many people say 4 is easier than 3. I'm one of an original 4 (dad remarried and they had 2 more) and he says it was the same, maybe even better because he had that 4th child. But then he's also a huge family man.

I never noticed as a child the difference between having 2 siblings or 3 siblings though

I am also one of four and never remember anything negative about it. But I'm worried as going from two to three this year I found very difficult, possibly because my youngest was already 5 when I had no.3. I've got 7 months to get used to the idea I guess

Hi I'm almost 6 weeks with my third, it was planned but I'm also scared, people say going from 1 to 2 is hard but going from 2-3 is easy? My youngest is 7 so it's also a huge gap 🤦🏻‍♀️ I'm also 1 of 4 so growing up there was always someone to play with, yours will be close in age so will grow up together ☺️

I accidentally found myself preg with number 4 last year. Miscarried in the end and was unexpectedly devastated. Now 18 weeks with planned number 4. Exhausted but excited!!

I found going to 4 from 3 quite easy as by then you kind of know what you are doing and they fit into your routine rather than you trying to fit into their routine. Number 4 was quite poorly with reflux for the first year as well but it was ok.
I have just found out we are going from 4 to 5 😳

Jennifer90 I found the first couple of mo the with 3 hard, I'd forgotten what it was like to survive on so little sleep but things have definitely got easier and our ds3 has slotted in nicely.
Pamplemoose I'm sorry I can't imagine how that felt but congratulations on no.4

And daisypod wow 5!!!!! My youngest has reflux and until recently it has been very difficult to manage, I've already panicked about having another reflux baby.

I think I'm slowly coming round to the idea, it's just fear of the unknown I think
