We're thinking about having our third baby and I'm excited but also a bit nervous. I'd love to hear any encouraging stories or advice from mums who have been through this!

What are you nervous about? I know this is a C-section group. So is it needing another C-section?
I’m on my third right now, we planned for her and our second. Our first was a surprise. But I’m so excited to have all three of my kids and they are all within three years. So by the time 2029 comes around all my kids will be in some sort of school, and I will be able to work and make money as well.
If it’s about having more C-sections, this is my third C-section and she is gonna be here June 29th if she doesn’t come sooner. I’m due July 4th.
My first went to his scheduled date for my C-section, it went fabulous. I was there at 6am, he was born at 8:22am. My C-section was scheduled for 8am had to be there two hours early
My second was scheduled for July 13th and he decided he wanted to be different and come three weeks early. But everything went smoothly as well. Instead of it being a planned C-section, he was an urgent C-section, not an emergency C-section those are different.

My mum had 4 children after me (14-year gap between me and the oldest of my younger sisters). She had 4 under 4, the 2nd of my siblings was emergency caesarean and all others including myself were natural births (I don't know what you are hoping/planning for). It can be a lot of work but at the same time they are all of a similar age. She did also have me as a teenager to help out but everything was manageable and it was great to get to watch all of them grow up together and their bonds grow. Don't get me wrong they have been some great arguments! But there have also been a lot of really wholesome sweet moments with them. They are now 10-14
