Hi..my friend has a 3 year old, 6 month old and is pregnant again. She is happy, but she has times when she really stresses...and she is normally cool as a cucumber. She has alot on her plate, and she is handling it, but she has some trying times. Good luck to you!

I have a 3 yr old and 18 month old twins. It's not easy, but having them close together does have it's perks. Everyone will be out of diapers close together, they will all be off to school, and you'll get your life back.
Things can get a little stressful when all 3 of them are crying at once, someone is pulling on your leg, someone is climbing the steps while someone else vanished into a closet, but you'll figure it out.
The best advice I can offer is to come up with a good structured day for meals, naps, and special activites. I also make sure that each child has their own special mommy alone time, even if it's only for 15 minutes. That way, everyone feels special and stays happy.
That's not to say you are nuts! But having three young children will be fun, fun enough to help get you through the tough times! good luck.

i have 3 kids, a 5 year old, a 3 year old and a 9 month old. first of all get ready for people to act as if you are trash, they do me even though I have alot more than most of them do. Secondly, girl, get you a really good coffee pot. My kids are running around right now, and my baby is spinning circles in his seat. Your home will never stay clean, and you will not go out for a very long time,you will be chuncky and struggle to lose the weight, but in the end you will be the happiest woman on earth. Thank you for not deciding on an abortion, God will bless you and your family as long as you try to do your best.

My kids are grown now but here are their ages 45, 44, 421/2, 40 so as you see they were close together, you will manage in fact if I had to do it again I wouldn't change a thing.They are all very close and support each other in what ever they do.I to was on the pill with the last one, but it was meant to be. hang in there you'll do great.( And I was only 22 when the last one was born,and yep they all have the same Daddy.)

I have a 10yr old, and 11 month old and twins on the way, admittedly the whole idea of twins was a little scary at first, but the idea grew on me pretty quickly, I don't think your silly for having 3 close together (only cos I'm in the same boat!!) think of the friendships they will have and the closeness that they will share.
I presume we will both have our hands full, but with family and friends for support then coping wont be to hard, just a couple of important things to remember....
Don't forget about your husband/partner, having a bunch of little ankle biters running around can sometimes make him feel left out...
And don't forget about yourself, you will have your hands full, take time out for yourself occasionally, remember, a stressed mummy is not a mummy who is at her best.
If you want feel free to IM me...Its on my profile page.

Poor you. As a mother we are programmed to cope, you just need to think positive about this - nothing you can do about it now is there so why worry. Of course it will be hard to start with, enlist the help of your family and friends. Get other children into a routine now so there are no problems when new baby arrives. Get your partner to help (and not only on the producing baby side!). Good luck.

Just remember to take care of yourself well so that you will have the energy to keep up. Then you'll be fine. I have a friend who has 4 kids under the age of 6, and just suffered a miscarriage. She is a terrific mom and loves running in a hundred different directions.

no you are not silly. some people would like to have their children close together like that. if u have your kids now, when you get older you don't have to worry about having more kids unless thats what u wanna do. it may take a lot of work raising them but i have a friend who is a single parent who is sort of in your situation and I think she is doing a great job. so good luck to you! you can do it.
