COULD I REALLY COPE WITH THREE UNDER FIVE??!?!?!?!

[rach1974]

i just need to say this out loud....

I think Im pregnant!!!!!! With my very unplanned third child!!!

I cant decide if im terrified or excited...

Will introduce myself properly if that BFP comes up anytime soon.
Its too soon to test but 3rd time around the symptoms are familiar!
Stomach cramps, so tired I can barely stand, HUGE boobs and thrush!

Anyone else been in this position recently??

Hi
As you can see from my ticker all mine are very close together, it is hard work at times but once your in some sort of routine and if you have a supportive family its not as hard, some days i cope really well but others im just so tired and i feel as if i cant cope. i do have more up days than down.
good luck hun and welcome to the forum

No personal experience of this but my mum had 3 kids under 3 (I'm the middle one) and she's always said she loved the small gaps. We all did the same things at the same time, and we've always been really good friends. I'm so close to my sister now (she's 15 months older than me). I'm hoping for 3 children eventually, hopefully with fairly small gaps.

If you have 3 under 5 then it may be hard work to begin with but they'll be able to grow up together, to keep each other occupied, and to go to school etc together.

I hope you get the result you want when you test. Welcome to the forum!

HEHEHE!!

i had three under five. its hardwork but you cope. you have to.
just think of the positives! they all have each other to play with and they will all start school pretty much one after the other.

EDIT
no i didn't my eldest was 5 and half when i had my third -

welcome!!

I've had three under five since February, and its been fine! ( )

OK, it's hard work...... but it's lovely!!

Do you always get thrush as a pregnancy symptom? How many DPO are you??

just curious......

Not that i have 3 kids under 5 ( to me that would take a very very brave or crazy woman.....lol)

But from experience, my mum had 4 under the age of 5 and i loved every minute of growing up as a big family and being so close in age. And she managed just fine.

My son is now nearly 6 and i regret leaving such an age gap, he gets so lonely with no one to play with.

Good Luck hun xxx

When this one is born I will have 3 under the age of 3an a half! If I can cope, then anyone can! Im super organised already, getting breakfasts out night before, clothes out night before, planned meals for the week, have a rough idea what Im doing each day etc. I find that really helps.

thanks everyone - you are all v supportive!!
If this is a BFP ( i can early test from tomorrow) then i'll have i'll have 3 under 5 - DS will turn 4 the month before this one is due and DD will turn 3yrs the month after.

ive kinda got my head round it now - in fact i'll be quite sad if im not!!
I cant say the same for DH tho - hes terrified, bless him

I'll keep you posted.

BTW - got thrush with one of them (DS I think) but not the other. Have heard this is symptom for some people but not others.
Got metal mouth today as well. EEK!

[rach1974]

i tested this aft and got a BFN but to be honest its a bit early for me to get a BFP. I tested with my daughter on day 28 and got a BFN - got a BFP on day 33. Today is only day 24 so will test again in few days if no AF...

again - thanks for everyones support and to the lovely welsh girl and hope everything works out for you.

Sometimes i just dont realise how lucky I am xxxxx

 

[rach1974]

Im now on day 29 and have morning sickness, cant face coffee, crying at anything and everything but still getting negative results.

I am very confused!! x
