I’m in the same boat. 4th and totally unexpected! I have a 4.5, 2.5 and 1 year old. My anxiety has skyrocketed!! I don’t know what to do or how I could possibly handle 4 under 5.5!! I recently started talking with a therapist which has helped and I try to take an outdoor walk everyday. It’s hard though. I know what you’re going through—I’m sorry ;(

Got my first "you are going to have your hands full" today at 18 weeks 🫠

I was at the local post office with our son who is 19 months and the lady at the counter looks at my son and then my belly and says "geez you are going to have your hands full". I'm only 18 weeks along and didn't know I was showing that much haha but when I looked in the mirror at home I realized I look like I am 24 weeks.

Second birth ?

Hey 👋 just wondering if the story is true on second babies coming earlier? My first was 38 weeks and I'm literally just days off 38 weeks with my second and the anticipation kills 😂 I wasn't so time focused on my first because I thought 40+ weeks for baby coming but no they come 2 weeks early
