3rd Baby????

Just wondering if anyone is trying for a 3rd or wanting to but very nervous? I have 5 yr old and 3 yr old and it’s soooo just wanted to hear your views on a 3rd if you have already had 3 and how it’s going?!

I am in a similar boat with ages too my daughter and son are turning 7&4 in a month and currently just found im preg due end of October. I know my youngest will be excited but im nervous about my 1st if its not a girl. She loves her bro but she wanted him to be a girl too. Lol should i find out the sex early? Or wait till birth like i normally do?

I think it helped my eldest really grow into being a big sister and get with the program that she has siblings and is no longer the center of attention

I have a 2 &4 year old and I’m going for the third. I’m not 100% ready or prepared but there’s no time like the present and the (biological) clock is ticking so I’m happy with my choice to try again 💓 I’m terrified and excited at the same time

It took me 5 years to decide to try for a third i was absoluted terrified at the idea of 3 kids... whether i would cope well etc but honestly the day i found out i was pregnant i was so over happy and have loved every minute so far.. im 15 weeks with my third baby girl and im so excired to share this journey with my now.9 year old and 6 year.old daughters. They are so excited and ready to be big sisters again best choice i made was to just go for it... i heard this quote which helped make my mind up very quickly... "you can never regret having another child when they are here. But you can always grow old regretting not having the babies you wanted" really made me think about it properly ans.i never wanted to regret not having.the third baby i wanted xx

I also have a 5 and 3 year old and is currently 8 weeks preg and if urs are like mine arguing yelling whining not listening having to repeat yourself hundred times while still working n maintaining household imma just say all babies are blessings n pregnancy is beautiful even during the ugly 1st trimester I do feel more irritated and annoyed this go round compared to my 1st or 2nd go round I’m sure it would be easier once baby is here because after 2 what’s 1 more

Awww mine sound like your and that’s why I feel a little worried 😂 I just imagine what it would be like if I had 3 and how I will tend to them all! All I hear is mum mum mum and they are fighting lots too but beautiful bits make it all worth while…

The kids make it worth it they are so excited saying good morning good night giving my belly/baby a kiss talking to it etc so that make up for the rest honestly

I am actually currently pregnant with my 4th. My kids are 7, 5 and 3 and i cant imagine life any other way. The transition from 2-3 was honestly really easy for me and my kids are so close i love it. They are so excited for the new baby too

I have a 7yr old and 3yr old and trying for #3 now. I went back and forth with the decision quite a bit especially because our current youngest has medical needs. Earlier this year I even took having another baby completely off the table because hubby had got laid off and things were all over the place for us. But overall I just couldn’t shake the baby fever, like something was telling me I’m not done yet, there is someone missing. Things have since then settled down, hubs got a great new job, we’re getting answers for our little ones medical issues, and I got my iud removed so we are now actively trying to conceive. I still get little doubts like “am I doing the right thing?” And I think that’s normal pregnancy related jitters.
