I've just found out I'm pregnant with baby no3 I have a 7yr old and 2yr old already. I really don't know what to do. Im a stay at home parent and my husband works. some months money is really tight and we struggle, and i know some family members won't be happy and really can't be dealing with there comments when they find out. Really unsure what I want.

Don’t let the potential opinions of others influence your decision. It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks or wants it has to be your decision and your decision alone.

Try to talk to someone you can trust or your gp about your options and good luck x

Hey, I was in your position in Feb of this year...found out I was 7 weeks pregnant with my fourth! Our eldest is 13 our youngest 7, I didn't know what to do and we were both in shock...husband and I both said we didn't want to start again and the financial pressure (as well as the lack of space!) were good enough reasons not to continue...my husband was in shock and it really destabilised me to see him like that...
Fast forward to now I'm 35+3 with our fourth baby girl and all of us are so excited!! We have converted our garage into a nursery as it's off our bedroom (v stressful and still not finished!) and the pregnancy has been physically hard on me. I realised I could not go through with a termination and text my husband..then we came to terms with it quite quickly! Yes financially we will be stretched but the love this little one has grown already is worth it! Yes it'll be hard work but I love my children and my husband and I love this little one already too ❤️ No right or wrong but I just wanted to say take your time with your decision and as awful as you feel right now it won't feel this bad forever xx

I'm exactly the same as you, a SAHM and had a 7yr old and a 2yr old when I had DD last year. I love having three, I was a embarrassed to tell people I was pregnant with a third for some reason but everyone was really enthusiastic and the dynamic with three is fab.
