Help.... I just found out im pregnant with my 3rd child. (Diffrent dad to my two I have right now)
There will be 10 years between my oldest and the new baby and 7 between my daughter and the new baby. My family are not at all being supportive as I had postnatal with my youngest I understand they are worried but its really making me doubt my abilities making me feel im to old to have another baby. Its a horrible feeling and I dont know where else to go for advice.

Are you still with the dad, is he supportive?
id guess they are worried you will struggle again

Yes I am. Hes super supportive it will be his first. I had no support with my kids dad which is why I struggled I was always on my own while he went out or went away for work made excuses to leave for work on a saturday when didnt start till monday 😅

My current partner is opposite im only 4 weeks and hes helping me while being sick as well as helping care for my current children but I definitely understand my parents feelings of worry becasue I struggled so badly.
