Shock third pregnancy

I found out this week I am pregnant with my 3rd baby, a total shock. I am wondering what to do if I'm honest and whether to go ahead. My main worry is how will we cope as we have two young children already who would be just 4 and just 2 when the baby arrives (currently 3 and 19 months). Life is so full on. How do others with 3 young ones cope? I'm really panicked and freaked out and wondering if it would be kinder to the children we have not to go ahead and if I would be on my knees. Thanks

Of course only you can make that decision for yourself.
But my experience (three in 36 months) was that it was relentlessly hard. Really hard.
And financially also it stretched us to the limit. Now they are teenagers it is still very expensive.
If you have your third, no doubt you will love them as intensely as you love your first two, but it is definitely harder to devote enough time and attention to each.

I had 4 in 6 years and I loved it! It IS expensive though, only you know if you can afford it. Your 4 year old will be at school or nursery so that will help. Good luck with whatever you decide x
