I have 2 great daughters who will be nearly 7 and nearly 4 by the time the baby is born. I have always found it easy having the girls. I have never had any family around as my husband is in the raf.I just wanted to know if anyone found it really hard having a 3rd, or really positive.
I have great support from my husband and the baby was planned, i just worry now i might be in for a schock!!!!
My 2 girls are well behaved easy kids if that helps.
Any advice or exp welcomed.

You sound like you could definitely handle it. A good thing is that their ages aren't tooooooo close. for instance my best friend (23years) has three children each a year and some months apart, the youngest is eight months and she is doing great. Of course it is difficult and trying at times but nothing she can't handle. And you do have help because the firls would be more than happy to assist with the new baby. Good luck and congratulations!

My oldest son was 7 when my 3rd was born and they were no problem to look after but they were never close as the age gap was too great. They get on fine now they are grown but still not close.I sometimes think it would have been better to have had the youngest closer in age to the others.

I found my 3rd baby the easiest. I know all babies are different, but you're a lot more experienced now, and you'll have the little girls to help fetch and carry for you. Get them involved from the start. I'm sure you'll have no (well no more than the usual) problems. Enjoy your lovely baby, I wish I was doing it all again!

Since your girls are so easy, you'll have it easy. They'll be a great help to you with the baby. Actually after the adjustment of 2 children, it' gets a lot easier! You'll be surprised.

It's not really any harder. Just more to love :) (Ok it might be a bit harder until the baby sleeps through the night). Good luck!

In one word..... YES. But the joys that you reap from them and the happiness in your soul can be match by none.
So good luck and Iam sure that this baby will be a good as your girls.
