Pregnant with number 3

[jdr1234]

Hi ladies, just found out pregnant with a lovely unexpected number 3! I have a son who was 6 in January and a daughter who will be 4 in august. I am really excited but also super nervous and overwhelmed. Any other 3 timers want to join me in the journey? Or anyone with 3 who can reassure me I will stay sane!

Hi @jdr1234, congratulations!! How exciting, how far along do you reckon you are?

I'm 12+6 weeks pregnant with baby number 3, my two older DDs are 3 (4 in June) and 14 months.
One thing I've found is that running around after two children already has made the weeks fly by which has been great! But on the other side of that it's also made me unbearably tired at times. 🙈

Lots of luck to you for a happy and healthy pregnancy!

Thank you @CaptainSpirit and to you! I am only 5 weeks going from my dates. I can imagine you have your hands full with two that age! I would like the next 8 weeks to go quickly! Hate the period when you can’t tell anyone and feel crap!

Hi @jdr1234 congratulations :) I’m 15 weeks pregnant with a much wanted baby number 3. I have two DD aged 6 and 4 and recently found out this one is a boy! We’re all really excited although I was very anxious when I first found out I’m pregnant despite it being planned. I found 2 really hard in the early days with a newborn and a 2 year old but I’m hoping the age gap will be more helpful this time with the older two at school most of the day. The bit I’m constantly thinking and panicking about is how much more chaotic our mornings are going to get with a baby in the mix. It’s already a mad rush getting them ready for school I can’t imagine feeding/nappy changing a baby too. We’ll work it out I’m sure.

I’m also NOT looking forward to sleepless nights, I feel like we’ve just started getting solid sleeps again after two terrible sleepers!

@Mamabearwhere awh congratulations we will have the same age gap, am also hoping that will make the earlier days a little easier as both will be at school. My daughter starts reception in September as is youngest in the year and I will of be due end November. Feel like 4 year gap is nice as they will still be close enough but older ones out of the baby stage!
I’m panicking about how much more three children is going to cost!

@Mamabearwhere Ah how lovely, a little boy after two girls! Congratulations!

I'm also wondering about morning routines, my eldest does two days at preschool currently and that's a bit of a rush as it is. She also starts proper school in September and I'm due 1st October, so getting her, a toddler and a newborn ready will be a lot of fun. 😬
