Going from 2 to 3 kids

Please only answer if you have 3+ kids! We have 2 kids currently and are very on the fence about having a third, we go back and forth. Going from 1 to 2 was very hard for me. But people tell me “the 3rd just slots in”, which I don’t know if I believe.

If you have 3+, what transition was harder for you?

I dont think it was necessarily hard but the fact that it was a start over with my 1st & 2nd. They are 7 years apart so I was done with diapers bottle nights etc. And my 7 yr old was so independent he waa doing his own laundry and cooking his own food lol. So when I had to go back to waking up at nights and making bottles etc I was thinking wtf did I do. But everything else was fine and when I had my 3rd. My last 2 wear a 1.5 apart so they did diapers together and it didnt bother me any.

Think it completely depends on the ages. I have a 10 year old and 2 year old girls and an 14 week old boy.
Hes been easy and has slotted in but oh wow the girls just fight which when your sleep deprived doesnt help.
Also the 2 year old has started pushing the boundaries. Think if she was younger or older it would have been easier with her but having him he has just slotted in.

My baby is only 6 weeks old and I went from 0-2 starting out my family and I've found the additional is less stressful for me but I feel I already know what I'm doing. We will see how I manage the summer with all three. That being said I don't know that I would have a child I'm on the fence about.

Faint Lines Opinions

I am two days late, I tested on Tuesday and got these two faint lines. Today I tested again and got another line, but even fainter. In my previous pregnancies I've had very strong lines by now, which makes me doubt myself. Do you think it could be a false positive, or a chemical maybe? Has anyone else had lines this faint so late, which resulted in a positive?

TTC

Decided to use the clear blue strips this month and I hit the solid smiley face today.
I never quite know for sure, but can ovulation : pre ovulation feel like a stich?

About to start

Hello, I am about to start my first IVF cycle. I had been quite calm and level headed. But the last few days I’ve gone into complete overdrive and overthinking and petrified. Any tips massively welcome

Opinions

I got this line this afternoon and it came up pretty much instantly within the first 3 minutes. However all tests the afternoon have been negative so do you think it was just a faulty test? I’m due my period tomorrow.

2nd Baby

Hi all,

Recently found out I'm pregnant with my second after a long time TTC. I really want to enjoy it but oh my the anxiety is through the roof.

Is anyone else doing progression tests? How is this looking?

I never did this with my first or allowed myself to worry about anything but can't stop this time round.

Currently 4+3 so still so early. Scan booked for 7 weeks 🤞
