Fate made the decision about having number 3 for us... when will the shock wear off?!

Am utterly traumatised! Stopped taking the pill 6 weeks ago as had heard it was linked to depression/anxiety which I have had for about a year. Had been very careful as we weren't sure we wanted another (and definitely not yet!) and for some reason told dh to pick up a test today. Did the test and thought it was negative (a line in each box, thought you needed a cross in one) was chucking it in the bin with a sigh of relief when happened to notice on the back of the box that I am actually pregnant. Very mixed feelings, half of me so pleased the decision has been made for me and very excited and the other thinking oh shite. So just wondering how long until I feel just excited?! Dh bless him is over the moon despite being adamant only last week that we weren't having another!

Congratulations! It sounds like you are both dealing with the initial shock well which means you are probably both really pleased this has happened. How old are your other two?

Congratulations, we decided to try for #3 and I conceived straight away I was very excited immediately but after a few days it was OMG what have we done? Now I'm 21 weeks and am very excited again!!

Thank you all, feel a bit better already having got how I feel off my chest! I am especially loving "best thing we ever did" and "our third is the easiest baby an absolute joy"!

Our unplanned no.3 is 2 week old on Friday and she is a dream baby and has been a wonderful surprise, congratulations !

we had a surprise #3 too and I had lots of doubts when I found out. But she is so easy, so beautiful, so utterly gorgeous, I cant imagine only having 2 now. Having 3 is fantastic and I feel so blessed. Enjoy! Then organise some contraception!!!
