Anyone else expecting their third?

Just wondering if there is anyone else out there who's mad enough to have been TTC number 3. I got my bfp last week, currently 4+4 and feeling a whole raft of emotions. No symptoms whatsoever ATM which is strange as I was nauseous and had the nose of a bloodhound instantly in previous pregnancies. I'm trying to tell myself all is ok although abit nervous after some chemicals and an early MC last year... I will regret worrying as soon as the sickness starts no doubt 🤣

Anyone else in a similar position?

I'm here too 3rd on its way must be crazy but we're very excited. Had a nervous start but after my scan I feel much better. Hope your doing well Smile

Hey! I'm 23 weeks with baby #3. Was a surprise one as wasnt really planning on anymore. However here we are lol I mean people have way more than 3 and dont go completely loopy, so we should be fine 😂 x

WeGoAgain123 · 24/01/2022 20:17

Third baby here too.

Currently 29 weeks and have 2 DD's who will be 12 and 11 when this little boy is born.

Not sure what we were thinking with this age gap...I fought so hard and it took so long to convince my partner we should have 3 children but I've found out being pregnant at 40 is a whole different ballgame than being pregnant at 30!

I was nervous in the early days too about lack of symptoms but, at around 8 weeks they hit with a vengeance! Still on meds for sickness now so definitely enjoy the ease of pregnancy now in case it dissapears ♥️♥️

Bear45 · 24/01/2022 20:31

Hey, I'm 21 weeks with 3rd baby too. My daughters are 11 & 14 and this baby was a surprise but found out it's a boy and the girls are excited to have a baby brother Smile

Snugglemuffins4me · 24/01/2022 20:40

20 weeks with #3 have a 4 year old and our youngest who turned 2 last week ! Sickness kicked in around week 7 and is only really lifting now 😊

wingingit33 · 24/01/2022 20:44

34+3 with no3! Big age gap though; my kids are 11 and 7!

NightfeedsandNetflix · 24/01/2022 21:08

3rd baby too other two kids are 15 and 16!! I have waves of doubt wondering why I've tied myself down again. However I have so much more fun, time and patience with bubba boy mark 3.

Hi, you will be fine. Have an early reassurance scan in 3 weeks just to put your mind at rest if you are in a position to. It’s well worth all the stress and worry.

I am 17 weeks pregnant with number 3 too. Unplanned but a wanted surprise. Age gaps between mine are 17 years and 10 years.

I only felt nauseous for two weeks at around 6-8 weeks and that was it. Barely any symptoms at all apart from round ligament stretching pain and needing to wee all the time! No symptoms doesn’t always mean there is anything wrong 😃

Just try to talk yourself into relaxing about the situation and thinking what will be will be and try to stay positive. That helped me through until my 12 week scan but I did have an early reassurance scan.

Good luck!

Hey!
I'm 35 weeks with no3
I have 2 boys aged 2&3 so I have very small gaps between mine... terrified is an understatement 😂

Wildrobin · 24/01/2022 23:12

I’m cheered by the bigger age gaps on here as been feeling alone with no friends expecting this time and our DC aged 15 and 10! Feeling very excited and I love that they are too and hope they will be really close even if not in age

Reallycantbesarsed · 24/01/2022 23:16

My third is 22 today…cannot imagine our family without him . Age gap 6 and 4 years …his older siblings were so happy when he arrived…congratulations 💐

NewtoHolland · 24/01/2022 23:35

32 weeks with a super number 3! Initially terrified but now pretty excited :)

2littleloves · 26/01/2022 08:31

Hey everyone!

This is baby no #3 for us too! I have a 3.5 and 1.5 year old who will just turn 4 and 2 before baby is due! Currently 14 weeks and struggling a lot with sickness this time round. Was a surprise like many of you but very excited ❤️

TooMuchCheesecake · 26/01/2022 09:44

Hey everyone, baby no.3 here too! Currently 29 weeks pregnant. Lovely to hear of some others with big age gaps, my other children are 12 and 9.

cdmum9 · 26/01/2022 19:22

Those who gave worries about the age gap don't worry you couid be us with an 18, 6 and now a baby due lol

BabyBorn · 26/01/2022 21:20

I love the age gaps that mine will have, 17, 10 and this third. All girls too! Although they won’t be close in age I am hoping they will all be close and look after each other when my husband and I are not around anymore!

GillianB2990 · 26/01/2022 22:04

We're pregnant with our third, very early days 4+5 and we're going to have quite an age gap between baby and the other 2. Our daughter is 14 and our son is 5, I keep thinking we must be mad going back to it again. It will definitely be worth it in the end x

wingingit33 · 27/01/2022 07:46

Wow seems more bigger than smaller gaps here! 34+6 with third. Kids are 7 and 11

Babydancing2020 · 27/01/2022 11:16

Hiyaaa im pregant with my 3rd i ve got 2 boys 4 y and 1y. I guess Im crazy as well hahaha. I had a scan few days ago what I thought was going to be my 12week scan they put me back 2 weeks kind of expected it cuz i stopped the pill and never got a period after to calculate properly. Saw a cute baby with heartbeat im just more nervous this time around than with my other boys.

rose7120 · 27/01/2022 11:33

Hello! I'm 14 weeks with my third. I have a 2yr old girl and 4yr old boy who will be 3 and 5 when this one is born. I'm so anxious everything is okay, struggling quite a lot. Excited to have 3 though (though that's my limit!). I feel quite embarrassed to tell people I'm pregnant with a third - no idea why! I'm a third child - which is why I wanted one!

Lollipop25 · 27/01/2022 20:08

39+6 weeks with my 3rd 🤗 Dd is 11 and Ds is 9, lots of excitement waiting on this baby 😂 most people very shocked when we eventually told them I was pregnant. Left it til 30 wks to do that. Was offered an induction last week at 39 weeks as I'm 38, obese and have gestational diabetes ( well controlled by diet) but I declined. Happy to get to 40 weeks so I will go with the obgyn's advice tomorrow at appointment.

BabyBorn · 28/01/2022 14:54

@Lollipop25 good luck today with your appointment. Hope it goes well 😀

[quote Tandabear]@EverydayIsPJday 👋🏼 Hello and congratulations! I just came across this thread as I’m also expecting number 3. My DSs are 4 and 2. I was wondering how you were getting on? Any more symptoms? I’m 6weeks today and no symptoms at all. I’m so sure I was sick and exhausted from 5 weeks previously

@WeGoAgain123 hey, hope you are well. Did you have any symptoms at all before 8 weeks?

Im putting a lot of energy into holding out for a 7 week scan due to lack of symptoms x[/quote]
Hi (it's wegoagain123 but I got locked out of my previous account)

I didn't have any symptoms that I can remember before 8 weeks, except missed period of course)

I thought I'd got away with it but it hit hard around 8-9 week mark and I'm still feeling like I've had a 6 month hangover.

I had a couple of days a few weeks ago when I felt normal. It was a dream. Can't wait for labour day to get these extra hormones out of me 😆
