Accidental third pregnancy and don’t know what to do?

[Mary6688]

Can’t decide if I should keep third pregnancy - v v early.

Hello,

Wondering if anyone can help?

Currently 1-2 weeks pregnant with my third child. DS is 3 and DD is 6 months.

V shocked at finding out I was pregnant and just don’t know what to do?

Problem is the sleeping! Basically DH is a REALLY bad snorer so we mostly need separate bedrooms and in a 4 bedroom house I’m worried what would happen when all the kids get older and need space/privacy. Would we need to move? DS has his own room and DD is with me and I’m thinking maybe she could share if I decide to go ahead?

Any help/advice from people who have three children and/or small age gaps would be so appreciated. I’m really unsure as to what to do and on a final note, I lost my mum only 2 weeks ago so all a bit of an emotional mess…is this baby a sign from above or am I giving myself too much to take on?

Oh OP I am so sorry for the loss of your lovely mother, sending the biggest hugs and my deepest condolences 💐

The good thing is you’re 1-2 weeks pregnant so you still have time most importantly so do not feel rushed with any decisions

It may well be a sign from your mother but keep looking for signs including butterflies, ears ringing, feathers etc so you can choose to believe that or not

Can I ask how old is DS in terms of will he start school in September or has he just turned 3 because that is a fairly big factor? Many I know found 2 under 2 fairly similar to a three year age gap once eldest is a “big boy” that goes to school and can help mummy.

In terms of DH and his snoring I’ve heard loop earplugs and the way to go for that and they’re comfortable to sleep in but also you can get fully noise cancelling ones. Has he tried methods to help with the snoring, I’ve heard you can get all sorts ranging from mouth tape to nose plugs and everything.

In terms of bedrooms, you could have two children share that’s not a problem, especially with this baby being close to age with DD and baby will be in your room for a while anyway.

If DH snoring is still an issue do you have a playroom etc or second reception room or anywhere you can get a sofa bed for so you to quickly escape when he’s distrusting your sleep?
