People with three kids.
posted 13th Dec
We are pregnant with out third kid, first girl. I was a little nervous when i was pregnant with my second...it was a "will i know how to do this" kind of thing. But once he was born...i never even thought about it again i just DID it...and it was natural and amazing. Now with my third im thinking the same thing except this time its "omg im going to have three kids!" I have no idea what its like to have three kids of my own. I have watched tons of kids at a time but this is my own babies.
Im wondering if its a lot harder with a third or if its like having a second and you just do it and thats it. Any advice!??!

Its hard at first but once you get a routine down then it gets better. Just try to relax(I know easier said than done lol) and take it day by day. Whatever you do, don't get too stressed out. I got way too stressed out in the beginning and ended up having a stroke at 4 weeks pp. It probably didn't help any that I had no help even from my DH and was pretty much doing it all on my own. If you take care of yourself though and ask for help if you need it then you will be fine. Good luck mama!

I just had my fourth and I feel better than ever. My other children are older and love to help so it has been amazing. You really don't feel any different.

thank you all. I am also nervous one or both of my boys will feel left out...i dont want to make our relationships change. That would hurt so bad. But were excited and itll be good. "Mom of three little boys" A stroke!?!? did you have high blood pressure at the time? Thats scary! Im glad your ok.

You just do it...it's not like you really have a choice anyways...it's a pain in the ass trying to figure everything out at first though...but then again mine are 4, 2, 7 months.

I have the same feeling as you, just opposite! We have 2 girls, and are expecting a boy! Super nervous! I'm scared of the "middle child" syndrome. Also, baby boy will be the first Grandson on both sides of the family, so I have a feeling he might get spoiled.

im pregnant with my 3rd child , my first girl ... she is the 3rd grand daughter on one side and 4th on the other but she will be spoiled the same as all the others , im not worried i know i will all my kids the same even if shes my first girl. now when i had my middle child aka my baby boy . i was scared to death on how i could love him as much as i loved his brother seeing that his brother was my first child but he was born and i fell in love with him the same as his brother , so relax

Yes thats how it went with me i was pregnant with my second and i knew id love him but i was so scared i wouldnt love him as much as my first because i didnt think it was possible to love someone else that much. As soon as he was born i loved him just as much. Im not worried at all about loving this one i know i will and do already...im more worried about like...the organizing part and the being able to handle three and biggest of all the middle child thing...im the middle child and always felt like i was treated different. I was the middle of 5! I dont want my kids to feel like that ever. Now i have to handle things for THREE kids...im sure itll just kick in the second she is born....im just having new Mommy jitters again haha. Ty everyone!
