Nervous & scared anyone?!? 3rd child

Question

Please no judging!! I'm so nervous!! So much is gonna change so quickly!! I love everyone of my children including this rainbow baby almost here... But I'm scared! How will I do this all over again?!? Why am I doing this all over again?!? (We currently have a 10 year old & 4 year old) please tell me I'm not the only mama that gets this last minute anxiety and fear!! I had it with my last daughter too.

Answer

This is my 3rd as well but my older ones are almost 5 and 2. Things were starting to get easier and starting all over again is overwhelming. Accepting never sleeping again ;) but I do look forward to having a bigger family down the road but yikes have the toddler/prek years been tough. My mil says its when parenting truly starts and character building vs survival and play starts. I am understanding that now. Hugs. It does and gets easier.

Answer

I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!! I also have a 10 year old and a 4 year old. I seriously don't want to do this again, but I'm 35+5 and ready for him to be out. I'm tired of hurting. I cried last night before bed about it. My pelvic pain and back pain are off the charts and I still have to push the St. Bernard out the cat door 😩😩 Then I get overwhelmed with the thoughts of no sleep and diapers and bottles and teething and potty training. Just shoot me. (No not really people, calm down its just my hormones and exhaustion talking) 
You are not alone in feeling this way. All my family and friends tell me it's normal and as soon as I lay eyes on him it will all be worth it. I told them all to kiss my @$$ and come over and help! This isn't my first baby and I'm not in denial about the reality of the responsibilities. 
Then I remember the mother instinct kicks in and you just do it. You don't know how, or why, but it happens and we survive. We have beautiful, healthy babies and we are blessed and I am truly thankful. It could always be worse and I don't want to be ungrateful. Stay strong!! We will survive this as well 💪🏼

Answer

This is my third child as well I was thinking the exact same thing when I got pregnant in the middle of my pregnancy and now towards end of my pregnancy my son Will be 10 in December and my daughter just turned 7 July i'm currently 36 weeks pregnant with a little girl I'm really starting all over I'm more scared delivering it's fun practicing to make babies but not so fun having them all worth it in the end to go through so much pain for a few hours good luck ladies

Answer

I go back and forth. Thus is my third baby, too. Some days, I'm confident about labor and birth because - hey, I've done it twice before. Other days, I'm very anxious because I've also experienced how different labor and birth can be between children. Which means that, while I have two births under my belt, this labor and birth is not likely to go ANYTHING like the first two.

It's weird, because you have an idea of what to expect, but at the same time, you really have no idea what to expect.

All I know is it's too late to turn back now, and I'll go through anything to meet this beautiful girl!
