Already 3rd time mommies, which transition was most difficult?

Question

Answer

Well I'm currently pregnant with #3 but I feel like 1 to 2 was a little tricky because I wasn't used to multiples. 2 to 3 seems like it's going to be good because I'm so used to raising more than one now, but I could be wrong lol.

Answer

I’m a new third time mom (baby is 2.5 weeks). Both transitions, 1-2 and now 23, have had their challenges but in different ways. I am confident with the newborns now. And I’m easy going enough to realize this is all just a phase and if my big kids watch “too much” TV for a couple months or eat more convenience type food then they won’t be permanently damaged (things I was anxious about in the 1-2 transition). But with the 2-3 in finding there’s just so many more directions your attention is being pulled and also having to be up and doing things way sooner is hard (my oldest has activities and laundry ain’t gonna do itself). With this transition, I’m learning to ask for help more than I’ve ever had to

I just had my 3rd 3 months ago and I can say in my experience as of now. It’s not hard at all. It’s actually hard with my toddlers who are 5 and 3. The 3 month old is very easy as of now but in sure once she’s walking it’s gonna be mayhem 🤣😅

I’m on pregnancy 4 now - 2 I found a breeze ! Adding number 3 was fine first 3/4 months but once baby does more than sleep n feed I did drown a little! Was kinda sorted again by 10 months but had a dip in the middle working out how to juggle all 3 kids wanting something different and older children not being neglected of  my attention and time . Everyone I’ve spoken to who has 4 tell me it’s easier than 3 !? So here’s hoping !

Answer

I’m pregnant with #3 right now and I feel like this transition will be the hardest. My daughter is 3 and a half and a lot more vocal and moody than when her brother was born when she was 1. My son is so calm and quiet, I hope he stays that way! But I feel like adding a new one will be a hard one on us.

Answer

I have a 6.5 and 3.5 yr old and now 8 week old. The transition from 1-2 was really tough for me but 2-3 is also tough for different reasons. Knowing how to handle and take care of a newborn came pretty naturally the third time around but trying to divide attention and overcome that mom guilt is tough even more so again now. My husband also travels for work and is gone at least 2 out of 4 weeks a month every month. So nighttime is hard when they all need to go to bed at the same time and I need to nurse the baby. Mornings are challenging because the oldest is in school and has to be there by 7:45a... so it’s been  challenging getting everyone ready, fed, and out the door. Plus afternoon nap time for the baby is usually on the fly when I am picking up our middle from daycare. Right now, we are in survival mode and that’s ok because i know it won’t last forever.

Answer

1-2 was definitely rough on me. It was hard being needed by them both at the same time and feeling like I was being pulled in different directions. Now I'm used to that so I'm hoping adding a 3rd will be an easy transition.

Answer

I’m pregnant with number 3 and I am hoping this transition will be easier. 1-2 wasn’t bad because I feel with each baby you get more confident.
