Hello everyone,

I'm a 28 yr. old SAHM with a 3 1/2 yr. old boy and a 14mo. girl and I'm a week pregnant. This was a total shock to me and my husband as we had no plans for baby #3. We are very unprepared and I'm very very scared. Our house is small, I just sold all of our baby stuff and I'm still trying to get over the nightmares of my last 2 pregnancies and deliveries. I could use some reassurance or word of wisdom from experienced momma's. I can't sleep or stop crying. How am I going to give attention to 3 children under 5yrs. old. I feel scared and alone, everyone around me is TTC or just so thrilled for me, except for me.

Hi I also have a 14 month old daughter right now well she is almost months on the 20th and i am 8 weeks pregnant right now. This will be our 5th baby and we weren't planning on another either. I was finally really happy to be not pregnant and glad for others who were and had no baby 'wishes' for the first time. We have 9 and 8 yr old daughters and a 4 yr old boy also. I have mixed feelings...i love all my kids and love babies but feel overwhelmed. Some are happy for me others think im crazy most have jokes which i brush off don't bother me. As advise you will love all 3 and actually your oldest will be 4 and around 4 they get more independent and helpful and if you go w preschool it can give you a little space; and the child some other interaction and attention as well. I have a hard time knowing i am really over busy now and knowing it will only increase. I am happy one minute about it scared the next and quite overwhelmed.....but i know it will be months before baby arrives which will give us both time to adjust to the idea by then we will be completely in love once again. I am due June 24 i think. You?

Also my first 2 are 16 months apart which was hard not anymore they are very close sisters now.......but these 2 will be almost 2 yrs apart which isn't so bad i think. (my other spacings are each 3 yr 7 mo. very much easier)

I am due in mid August, not sure of the exact due date yet. I told my 3 1/2 yr. old son and he is excited, he told me he wants 2 more baby brothers and he would share his room with his little sister, so that made things a little better (with the exception that he wants 2 baby brothers, lol). It's just nice to know there is someone out there who can empathize with me.

I'm 21, single, and 20 weeks pregnant with my surprise. I'm excited, but nervous.

I am 25 and have a 2 and 3 year old (they are 13 months apart) and i am 4 weeks pregnant with our 3rd..i didnt think i was going to have any kids and now im going to have 3 under 5...its kinda crazy but a good crazy.. We live in a very small apartment and my husband is the only one that works. I have nothing left from when my kids were little..so its like we are going to have to start from scratch... I am also going to have to get a job... but i have faith that all will work out! CONGRATS on your new blessing...everything will work out youll see

Hey Ladies!! My name is Amanda and I'm 25. I just found out yesterday that we are expecting #3!!

omg, hi. i'm sorry that you are scared. i can't say i know how you feel but it will all work out. you will feel the excitement once the shock wears off.
