Expecting 3rd feeling very anxious

Recently found out expecting a 3rd - have a 7 and 5 year old. I fell pregnant last summer and unfortunately the pregnancy ended.

Anyway we've always been on the fence recently purchased a vw campervan which has been a big investment for us. 5 seater but I'm not sure where I would put a baby 👶🏻

Anyway found out we are expecting and just feeling very very overwhelmed is this normal?! I'm worrying now about finances and how I am going to juggle everything. Very emotional but I imagine that it's my hormones please tell me it will be ok hahahaha

Feeling like we are going to feel the pinch however I know my 2 will be very very happy but means they will have to share a bedroom. Boy and girl

Hi, looking expecting my 3rd after a surprise pregnancy that turned into a loss late last year.
Had all the same thoughts you are having and then some! My two are 8 and 6 and they absolutely do not get on. So I think im maybe crazy for now wanting this third?
I also just recently went holy crap. How am I going to fit baby into the camper we own?
Because I refuse to co sleep (personal choice) but figured out a little space that I can keep a woven bassinet for them to sleep that will be what they use in the house too (although seen some fold away ones on amazon) that they can sleep in. And we will have to buy another seat belt to fit an extra car seat in there but that's okay.
My other thought was potentially getting some sort of inside hammock for one of the bigger kids to 'bunk' in to save some space in the camper.
Money wise, you will make it work. Its a day at a time kind of thing!
And baby will surely be with you for a while, and then in a few years baby can share a room with whatever of the big kids they match with. Or the younger two. You'll find it will change as they grow ( I used to share with my brother until I got older and then he had to share with my older brother who got his own room prior)

Thank you feel like it's just the hormones working overdrive. Why do people feel like this with 3rd 1st and 2nd I never felt like this.

I think there is a lot we conveniently forget around this time and the newborn stage 😆

It will be brilliant, it's absolutely your hormones. I found going from 2 to 3 was barely noticed (other than holiday apartments sleep 4 so you often need a suite which bumps the price of holidays up!) Going from 3 to 4 was really tough though so stop at three haha :)

Mum of 3 here, wouldn’t change a thing. Having 3 is wonderful! It’s hard of course but you work through it, it’s rough up until baby is 4 I would say and then it’s no different to having 2. Our 3rd is brilliant fun, the other 2 adore them and we do so many hand me downs with clothes and so on that or doesn’t feel that expensive yet. Holidays get trickier but it’s a small price to pay
