3rd pregnancy

[B0613]

I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my third and I’m absolutely terrified! My youngest has only just turned 6 months and I was on contraception so it’s a massive massive shock. Can someone please reassure me😬

You will be absolutely fine once you've got your head around it. All things go into place and you will cope. Congratulations!

My 3rd (and last!) dc was a contraception fail. Mirena coil fell out! I was terrified and it was a horrendous pregnancy, but she fitted right in to the family and is the light of our lives. She's 18 now, and I'm immensely glad of that contraception failure!! Good luck xx

i think I’m just in shock! I didn’t expect it to happen! Not sure how to tell my partner either😬

Aww @B0613 I know that feeling only far too well, I got pregnant with baby num 4 and wasn't trying, my partner could see I was in a shock too and was so supportive of me. I got my head around it and I'm quite excited. My eldest us 10 I have a 8 year old and a 4 year old who's just starting school in Sept so thought my baby days were behind me. But now I'm 17 weeks now and I know things will be fine! It will be for you too! ❤️

@OutofControl3 i honestly thought he’d be more supportive than what he is being. Told me he wants me to get an abortion but it’s just not something I could ever do! I have a 6 year old and a 6 month old so Its not great timing!

congratulations on your little bundle!

@B0613 I'm sorry he's said that to you, let him sleep on it for a few days and get his head around it too! Things arnt always fairy tales but who says what's right and wrong.please don't let him try talking him round to his way of thinking you would only resent him in the future anyway. Who lives in the ideal world anyway

Hope you don't get too upset with what's said, stay strong you will and are capable of coping! X

My 3rd was completely unplanned. I have a 6 year old, 19 month old and a 3 month old. It took me pretty much the whole pregnancy to come to terms with a new addition. I didn't find the pregnant that bad only towards the end I didn't have as much energy for my toddler. The 16 month age gap is hard work I'm not going to sugar coat it. I am barely exiting some days. It's gruelling and very tiring but I'm so in love with my 3rd and I'm glad we had a contraception fail too. He's slotted right in and is adored by everyone.
Your partner will hopefully come round to the idea. I told my partner and we didn't talk about it for about 2 weeks, just ignored the subject whilst we got our own heads around it. Just try let him have his space and don't push the subject on him yet x

@OutofControl3 thank you! I know I’ll be okay regardless on what he decides! x

@ilovemyboys3
thank you for the reassurance! I do worry about the future but I grew up with 3 other siblings and I loved always having someone to play with!
my partner can’t currently think of anything positive a new baby will bring but I’m just staying positive! A new baby is a blessing to everyone and my 2 will love a new little sibling regardless!
