3 under 3

[Joy201920]

Hi All,

I’ve just done a pregnancy test and I think I may be pregnant.

I’m already a mom of two beautiful boys 2 years & 6 months.
I’m extremely scared because this pregnancy is far from planned. I’m wondering how/if you’ve coped with 3 under 3 and how your SO reacted?

My SO is not ready for more children and wanted to wait at least 3 years for another.
I’m only 22 currently and my SO 24, we have a great support network although I feel this may be to much for them to handle.

If you are you can and will make it work if you want to.

We had our twins a couple of months before our 3rd turned 3, 1st was 9 & 2nd 4 at the time too. They were not planned so it was a shock but we handled it, they're 6 now and we're expecting baby number 6 in Aug. I do it mostly alone as hubby is in the military and works away a lot, I do have family not too far away but they all work full time so I rarely ask for their help. If you're well organised you can make it work, can be exhausting and frustrating but it's worth it for the good times.

I had 3 under 5 at one point and now have another on the way , I as not going to lie it isn’t easy , my husband works more hours I feel i am constantly chasing my tail and tired but you make it work. Don’t compare yourself to others , be really organised prepare as much as you can the night before and the days go much smoother. I said the same when we were expecting number 3 and it’s all ok really 🙂good luck x
