Hey mummas.
So I’ve fallen pregnant with baby no 3 and I am absolutely terrified! I’ve got 2 young children and never imagined having anymore. I just can’t bring myself around to it, everything scares me about it for some reason? My partner works away so it will be just me. We are happy that we’re pregnant because we will be blessed with another little life running around, but because it wasn’t expected I think I am still in shock with it all. What was it like for you when you had a 3rd? Financially? Routine? The other kids? Please some reassurance from others who have also been in a similar situation xo.

It’s hard we had surprise 3rd pregnacy and full on. I was terrified, now she was born it’s just have to be routine everyday. It’s crazy funny house but it’s hard work with third one. Financially is not much but I have to work so I’m shitty my pants to figure out how my routine. Other kids are so great and supportive.
I've just had #3 but it was a planned pregnancy, I was still terrified about how the heck this poor kid was going to fit in and how am I going to cope with all this chaos.
We are now 4 weeks into being a family of 5 (hubby works long hours so I do all the house chores minus lawns.
I can not imagine life with out this little man he is an angel and the whole family is in love.
The only tip to keeping your sanity is organisation.
You make it work... best of luck x
Haha I could of written this myself a month ago. To be honest though it wasn’t that we didn’t want anymore kids it was just that we had been trying for quite a while and so gave up on the idea and decided to move on with our lives and have different goals. A couple of months later bam we’re pregnant. I went through a personal battle of shock, scared, happy, what have we done.... totally mixed emotions... we’re now 10 weeks and over the moon. My hubby also works away but has done since our eldest was a baby. You’ll get through this and you’ll just figure out what works for you, like you did when it was just 1 baby and then 2 babies.
I felt Exactly the same when we unexpectedly fell pregnant with number 3. I had only just returned to work from maternity leave.
But honestly, for me, it was easier that going from 1 to 2. You just continue the same routine as your other kids are used to and just slot the babies needs in there. There are days that are hard!!! But there is with just two anyway. For a while i felt like i never got to sit down unless I was breast feeding. But number 3 is two now and i think back to when he arrived and nothing stands out to me as particularly horrific and difficult.
Good luck mumma. You will be fine!
P.s we are have gone on to have number 4 😉
