I'm pregnant with bub number 3!

Comment Published at 19:2219:2218 comments18 comments28 Visits28 VisitsReport

I have written a couple of questions over the last couple of days panicking about being pregnant with my 3rd, and very unexpected, baby. Part of me doesn't believe it, my kids Ava and Liam are still so young! I spoke to my grandmother yesterday (told her before my own mother or MIL) and she was actually quite happy for me. She reckons I'm doing the right thing by having my babies so close to together (she did this with her 4 as well). I told my Mum yesterday and she was really worried for me, she doesn't think I'll cope very well, especially since she lives 2 hours away from me and my MIL ad husband are at work during the week. I think we were always going to have a 3rd, its just a lot sooner than we thought. We don't even know when or even how it happened, but I guess these things just do sometimes.

Anyway, my husband Richard is quite happy about this pregnancy, and he was the one who was so keen to leave it at 2 children. He's coping very well, and already starting to working out how we'll need to rearrange things for the new bub. At least we have already had both a girl and a boy, we still have loads of clothes, etc hoarded away in storage! We don't need to buy anything really, except a bed for Liam!

I'm seeing the doctor this afternoon. I called yesterday and they told me I couldn't see her for 2 weeks (I have a very popular female dr)!! So I called today and told them I was kind of desperate so could I see another doctor any sooner. I was in luck, my doctor had a cancellation this afternoon! I'm getting more excited at least! I know its going to be very hard work, but I'm willing to give it my best shot.

I think that any child that is a 'surprise' can be very stressful and I'm sure you'll have days where you think you can't cope but you will manage and when you look into your babies eye's you will know that everything will be okay. We aren't given things that we aren't able to handle.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Thanks Nikki, I am sure it will be worth it, as hard as its going to be. Hopefully I get my mum coming down more often to help, that would be nice!

I'm glad you could make a decision!  it was scary for me too, having number three, especially as it wasn't planned. It is hard work but you'll get through.  Good luck to you and CONGRATULATIONS!!

Thanks! I am quite scared, as it means a lot of changes,but when the baby comes I am sure things will be fine. Hard but fine! And probably won't remember it any other way.

Hi honey,

CONGRATS on your pregnancy . . . Having a third baby can be so very daunting especailly when it isn't planned . . This is what happned to us when we had Sumara. She was our little blessing from god . .

I hope things go well for you and your family . . Planning is the easy part, its the final month or so when things begin to get stressful . . As Jess has said, WE are ALL here for you and we will all offer you as much support and idea's etc as we con . .

WOW - another minti baby is coming . . It's all so very exciting . . Poor hubby will never get to uncross his legs at this rate as my cluckiness is growing with each member who falls pregnant ..  he he he

Hi Kellz,

Thanks for your nice message! Its been a stressful time for me. My mum doesn't think I'll cope (she's the only one that doesn't, my inlaws have been great about it and think I'll be fine), but I'm feeling a lot better about it now. Even getting a bit excited!

Its so hard not to get clucky when all these pregnancies and births are being announced!

CONGRATS! It may seem overwhelming at the moment but all my friends that have 2 say it's not harder than having 2 & being close together is really nice I think! Good luck at the doc!

Thanks Teshia!

I do love the fact that the kids will all be close together in age even though some people think its a bit too full on (well, I know it will be)!

That's the spirit! You will be fine! Life throws us bumps and hurdles but never anything we can not handle when given the right tools. You will cope... because you have to!

Re: I'm pregnant with bub number 3!

You know I think you'll be fine, might be a little daunting at first, but you just need to remember one important thing......

If you need help don't be afraid to ask for it.. To many people wait until the last moment.  Ask before hand...
You'll do fine, and you might just find that with the other two littlies you can say, pass me a diaper and they'd be more then happy to play fetch for their brand new sister or brother... 

Congratulations.. And I hope all goes well for you..
