3 babies!!

Hey, does anyone here have 3 under 3, 3 under 4 or 3 under 5!? What are your babies' age gaps?
I was hoping to hear a few stories and what it is like. Currently found out I'm expecting and feeling very nervous but excited at the same time!

I had 3 under 3 and now they are 3 under 5 and it’s been amazing, they all entertain themselves a lot but it can be over stimulating some times thank God for community and a partner that carry’s half the load!

I have 3 under 2 years old.
I have twins and then 9 months later had a surprise baby #3. My twins are 18 months apart from their baby brother.

I was so nervous like you, but he is the best addition to the fam. He’s also my the most happiest baby and pretty advanced (walking by 9 month old, climbing those toddler towers as an infant, etc.)
The bond between the three of them makes my heart full.

I had 2 under 2 and they are 17months 1 day apart

I had 3 under 3. Twins and a singleton that are 2 yrs and 9 months apart. I was soo nervous and honestly dreading it. My baby is so calm and happy, just taking in the chaos lol. The older kiddos are very helpful. It's easy than I expected it to be with 3

I'm just nervous because of financially making it possible, I'm currently on maternity leave since my youngest is only 9 months now and baby will be here by the time my maternity leave is over lool so, we will be surviving off of one income. It doesn't feel like the perfect timing. I'm just unsure how we will manage.

Sounds like you went the 18 month option for mat leave.. you’d have to crunch some numbers, but it might be worth it to go back to work early, just long enough to qualify for EI again? It will probably be tricky restarting work while pregnant and also finding child care but you’d have some kind of 2nd income for the next year. Just a thought to explore

I did think about that but my oldest starts school in Sept and daycare wait list is long, youngest baby probably won't get in for Sept either plus, I'll already be 6 months by then, unsure if I can get 600 hours in just 3 months to qualify for EI again.

@Maya Haha, kudos to us! We got this, mama ❤️ 💪🏽

Anxiety with the bump.

I’m 36 weeks pregnant and I’ve suddenly developed a massive anxiety around anyone standing behind me. My husband is annoying me so much because even though I’ve told him how it makes me feel, he’s continued doing stuff in our kitchen (that is tiny anyway) and sliding past me to grab things. I know the baby is safe even if I were to bump the bump a little but even the thought of it is still making extremely anxious. How do I cope with this feeling and is anyone else going through the same sort of thing?

Welll

So who’s pregnant again with me 😂

Breathless and feeling like I need to be sitting constantly!

Has anyone else been feeling this way as they're getting closer to their due date?

I attempted to change our bedding this evening and had to call my husband for back up as I literally felt like my lungs were going to explode just trying to reach over to put the sheet on.

I'm huffing and puffing just getting my toddler into his pjs, and I was sat down! Like what is going on 😮‍💨🥲

Everything has been check ie bloods etc so I think it's just general pregnancy as I'm now 38 weeks. My bump feels like it weighs about 100lbs 😭

Friends wedding abroad

Hi all. I know this is FTM... But really need advice. I am currently pregnant with baby #2. Only 8 weeks. I didn't want to tell anyone yet, my partner and boss knows (needed for risk assessment reasons annoyingly). My friend is getting married in a remote part of Spain in ~3 months. I've already had a few minor complications, pain, bleeding, vanishing twin... I got preeclampsia last pregnancy and a terrible birth.
I am pretty sure I don't feel comfortable flying and then travelling out to a remote part of Spain during pregnancy. It will just be me and my toddler. I know it's overcautious but I just don't feel comfortable. I'm not even sure if I am going to be classified as high risk pregnancy or not.
How do I handle this? I need to tell her ASAP, but I didn't really want to tell anyone yet as doc told me miscarriage risk is a bit increased with vanishing twin. Any ideas?

When to prepare?

I’m 34w1d with my second baby. Today at my midwife appointment she said baby is 2/5 engaged, I’ve packed my hospital bags but unsure when to start building baby’s crib. Installing car seat ect. When is everyone else doing these things?

Anxious/depressed

My first pregnancy symptom was my anxiety out of nowhere. I feel like I'm a bundle of nerves and just so scared of everything. Is anyone else feeling similar? How are you managing? Are we contributing it to hormones?
