Anyone else in the first trimester with 3rd baby?

[StJamesInfirmary]

I'm 4 weeks pregnant with my third baby. Older two are 7 and 5 DDs.

Hoping someone else is in a similar position as the baby/toddler years feels like a distant memory these days. Also I feel so much more pregnant so early this time. I need to pee constantly, falling asleep at 8pm , my tummy has a tightness/heaviness to it already. It's so bizarre to have this so early! Wondering if this is a third pregnancy thing?

Hi, i am 10 weeks pregnant with my 3rd and honestly this has been my worst pregnancy yet! I've had really bad morning sickness and tiredness but then also struggling to sleep, i also feel like i spend half my day using the toilet. I also have had a cold for like 3 weeks that i can't seem to shake. I generally feel like i am on my death bed😂 i have spent more time off work than i have at work this pregnancy but i'm hoping it will all ease soon!! I think it makes it worse as i haven't really told anyone so i am basically just trying to struggle quietly without anyone noticing!

Hey! Yes I am 9 weeks pregnant with baby number 3! I have 2 DS age 6 and 7 so I’m with you in the toddler stages seemed like a life time ago. I’m already panicking how I’m going to cope with no sleep again. Also struggling with feeling sick and exhausted all the time whereas my other pregnancies were a breeze. I’m starting to show already too 🫣 But hey, it will all be worth it in the end!! Have you told your children yet?? X

Gah so sorry to hear this one is harder! I'm sort of dreading that tbh as my first 2 were also pretty breezy until the last few weeks. I'm struggling to stay awake past 9 and have long planned drinks with friends tonight and Monday and due away for a weekend with friends this weekend! No idea how to NOT tell people except maybe I'm doing dry Jan but I'm not a big drinker so that will seem odd.

Hopefully by the 2nd trimester in a few weeks you're feeling a bit better!

I've not told my kids yet and will wait as long as possible tbh. They will be so excited (I get asked probably once a week by at least one of them when/if they can have another brother or sister) and will find a long wait frustrating. Also one wants a bro and one wants a sis so we won't be telling them the sex until they're born 😂 hopefully they're overwhelmed with love and not bothered by the time they meet them!

I think I'm ok with the lack of sleep after they're here. I seem to be able to function with little sleep, it's the 1-3 years I really struggled with - so mobile but so clueless, having to follow them everywhere, being so well regulated emotionally to manage. I love/hate it in equal measure, they're so cute but also so draining!!

Have you told yours yet?

Me! I am approx 5 weeks pregnant with 7 year old and almost 5 year old DSs! I am constantly tired too with a fuzzy head and heavy boobs. Still early days but I'm a mixture of excited and panicked 😅

How are you all getting along? I'm just over 5 weeks now and it's starting to feel real!

I’m 20 weeks with number 3 and feel so exhausted! Same age as yours as well.

@unicorntearsofgin don't tell me that 😂 my first pregnancies I was exhausted in the first trimester but perked up a bit through the second. I'm hanging on to hope that feeling like I've been given a sleeping serum won't go on forever!

Sorry! Meant to say glowing, sleeping and serene haha

Congratulations all!! I’m 12+5 with DC3, our final baby. 🥰

😂 that's better, thanks

Hi this is my 3rd I have a 10 year old and a 13 year old I'm absolutely nathed 🤣 i feel way further then I am I'm struggling to sleep 😴 I feel sick all the time and got zero energy along with headaches 😩 I'm hoping it's not like this whole way thro as like you said my girls was so easy compared to this one maybe it's because we older I don't know 😕
