pregnant with unplanned number 3 - help

[beegee]

Although I haven't done a test, I'm pretty convinced and (although it breaks my heart to say so) very upset. How do mums cope with 3? I find it hard with 2 dcs. eeeek! And they were just getting to a managable age (2 and 4). sigh.

I'll do a test today to just check but I'm two weeks late and usually very regular.

Any advice?

Well I just had a third last year and I honestly have found the transition okay. I have 3 under 6 and it is hard work but they all interact together and it is lovely to have another baby in the family - despite it feeling very overwhelming at first. Give yourself some time to get use to the idea, hope you get lots of support and help

Its peculiar but I found going from 2 to 3 far, far easier than going from 1 to 2.

DC3 would sleep, whilst DC1 & 2 would play, giving me a good hour in the afternoon to put my feet up.

Its hard work, but its really do-able. I find being a super-organised control freak helps though

Good luck, but believe me, it will be fine

p.s. get a cleaner if you can. Even if it means eating nothing but dry cornflakes.

I'm exactly in the same position as you.

My eldest turned 4 in April and my youngest turned 2 in February and number 3 is due in August!!!

I'm freaking out!! But the way i see it if I can manage two I can manage 3. I will cope (so I keep telling myself)

I'm sure you'll do fine and on the bright side you have a over 6 months to get used to the idea. I have 10 weeks!

One thing I will say is time has flown by much quicker this time, when your pregnant with two toddlers your just so busy.

Good luck!

In a siumilar position - preg with no 3 - ds1 is almost 6 and ds2 is just turned 3

back in february I was positively petriied.
now that i am 6 months pregnant, i am getting used to the idea and taking things as they come

do a test to put your mind at rest and take it from there
