for mothers of 3 or more.

edited May 2011 in Pregnant
Hey ladies. I have a question for all you mommies with 3 or more babies. I am pregnant with my 3rd baby. I have til dec 31 to get used to the idea of #3. But did you find it really hard to add #3 or was it easy? I have heard that baby #3 isn't as hard to adjust to as when you had #2. Can you ladies help with any insight? I'm a little worried about another one. Mostly cuz my husband has to work out of town most of the time. So I will be doing this mostly alone. I have asked my husband to request doing in town jobs for the months of dec and jan. Any advice and insight is appreciated. Can anyone calm my fears.

  • How old are 1 and 2? Mine are 10 and 7 so I'm literally starting all over again. But my opinion is yes its much easier to add #3 because you've already learned how to divide your love and attention... hope that helps :)
  • Mine were 2 and 5 when I had my third. I didn't find it very difficult to add one more, though getting my 5 year old to school became a bit of a pain in the a**. :) I'm prego with number 4 now and I'm a little nervous again, but nearly as nervous as I was last time.
  • I am a mom of 4 under 7 right now.3 boys then finally a girl. I found it so much easier with babies 3 and 4 then when I added my second baby. When you have baby 2 you have to learn how to juggle 2 kids and its a shock to do it. But when you add baby #3 you already know what craziness is coming and know how to handle it. Me and my hubby are ttc baby #5 so it will be fine and you will love having a larger family.
  • I have a 5 yr old and a 3 yr old and I am 29 weeks I don't think it will be to bad to have another two was hard getting used too but once you have that figured out I think 1 more will be a breeze and my boys are excited to have a baby brother
  • I'm on my 4th,and the only thing I found that much harder with my 3rd was getting everyone out of the house while my husband would work. Now I know.it will be impossible to go anywhere on my own with 4! Luckily my now baby(4) will be joining her siblings in school...so ill have from 8-3 to get my out of the house stuff done.
  • I'm nervous too. I have a 2(will b 3 soon) and 4yr old and am 34 wks

    I have a 4 and 2 years old pregnant 9weeks i think it easy now because whit the second one was a lil harder not use to have another baby this one much better at least the big one have someone to play whit meantime you have yours hands full whit a newborn and Yes you love all of them the same there all yours babies ..... its more complicated second one don't worry you will be fine good luck
  • I found 2 nd a little difficult but number3 I find Im super busy now. Its more difficult to get out the house etc . Im 33 weeks prego no 4. I think it will b easy cause im used to the run run run
  • Well I think its going all depend on the age of ur other two and weather they can be real helpers, your schedule once things get back to normal if u work and take kids to school. I'm also going on my third I have a 5 and 7yr old I'm already use to the early mornings, I just need to get more organized and prepared for easy dinners, homework, bath and bedtime! Well get the hang of it and yeah well have our crazy wana pull out hair moments too, but it'll be OK . I'll be single though. ;;)
  • Mine r 2 as of march, will b 1 on the 24 and 1 wk old baby...for me its harder bc w 2 it meant 1/arm or parent but now...its def a struggle. Nice thing is that my hubby works a crazy swing shift so he is home quite a bit and helps...plus we live w my parents and they help a ton
  • Thank you so much ladies. My boys are 4 (in a week) and 2(in july). That's what I'm afraid of, is getting out. And also, we are used to one parent taking one kid and the other dealing with the other. Now it will be 3 on 2 or most time 3 on 1. But thank you for your input. It helped.
