So I found out I'm pregnant with my third child whilst on maternity leave with my second. Financially in a good place.

I'm just getting grief from my mother. I know she's just worried, but calling me an idiot I find so offensive. I think I can't afford it when we can. Partner works. I'm going to go through my outgoings to see what I can get rid of or to get the price down. Keep on putting money away each month in savings.

I want opinions on what's it like rasing 3 children. Will I cope? All I feel is excitement. Little nervous. Termination is definitely not happening.

I'm sorry OP, I can't help with advice on what it's like to have 3 personally - I am only expecting number 2 now - but just wanted to say congratulations and it sounds like you're ready to have this baby. You're excited, you can afford it, you will make it work! I know lots of families of 3 and they seem to have a lovely dynamic. And your younger 2 will enjoy being close in age I'm sure!

Thank you so much for your reply. Congratulations! I know will make it work. Its normal to have moments of panic. I did with my second tbf and that turned out fine. They will 😊 just have to ignore my mam and hope she comes around and supportive x
