Answer 1

Why are people so negative about things they know nothing about. I am a Mum of 3 and haven't been sent to the loony bin yet, although I'm sure it would be a nice break! Every family is faced with challenges.My best advice to you is to try and be organised and enjoy those beautiful little creatures you've created, (and tell those negative nancies to get a life!)

Answer 2

Things happen for a reason. If you can afford two, you can afford three. That is the way I see it. What if you had twins your last pregnancy? Same difference in a way. Maybe it is more of a selfish thing, maybe you are not wanting to be pregnant for another 9. I definitely think you should tell your husband. It will come out eventually and he should support you no matter what you end up doing about the situation. You need him, he is your husband for a reason. Maybe he will be super excited..you never know. Maybe he or you will get a raise in the next few months and your financial situation will completely turn around. I think you should keep it. At least, tell your hubby and talk it over. Don't do something that drastic without him being aware of it.

Answer 3

I have 5 so i think you are far form nutty. :-)
Mine are a tad bit more spaced though except for 2.
They are right now 11,9,7,5 and almost 21 mth.
Now the 7 and 5 year olds are actually 15 mths aprt. the 5 year old will be 6 in a couple months. But at one point i had a 3 yr old, 7 mth old and pregnant. so i feel for ya.
The hardest part honeslty i think is getting through the pregnancy. with the being tired and once you get farther along and not able to be as active without tiring out. That is when it wears on you.
But having them close in age i say is a perk. My 2 that are , are so fun to watch. One minute they fight like a married couple then the next they are in thier own little world. They are as close to twins as i will ever get on top of looking identical minus the boy girl thing.
but from my point of view it is easier boom boom boom and your done and you have 3 kids that all have a play mate all the time someone to fight with and play with and someone who goes through alot of similiar things.
Even when they get to school age it is amazing how much having them in stair step grades helps them.
Good luck and i think you will do just fine.

Answer 4

My children are all 19-20 months apart. We planned our pregnancies like this on purpose because we want them to be close in age. We are planning a total of four children :) We will have a 4 1/2 year old, 3 year old and 1 1/2 year old when our fourth child is born. For us, this age span works perfectly. I am also a stay at home mom.

I guess my question to you is...if you planned this pregnancy and you are as prepared for it as you say you are...why are you worried whether or not other people think you are crazy??

Answer 5

Firstly Congratulations!!
And secondly, no, you are certainly not the only one!!
I was 'caught out' several times and have beautiful children to show for it. When my second was only 6 months old I discovered I was pregnant again, and then when he was 6 months old, lo and behold, yep, pregnant again!!
I coped, you just do, live jogs on around you and somehow a routine forms and everything slots beautifully into place, by time number 3 comes, you will have an almost 3 year old and an 18 (ish) month old.
It is doable, you know what you are letting yourself in for and have experience to guide you, don't sweat it, 3 isn't much worse than 2, you'll be fine!!

Answer 6

Firstly, congratulations. I have a similar story, I have a 4yr old and a 11month old and I'm due again end of June. You sound like your a devoted mum and there is nothing wrong having children close in age. I'm told it's easier when they're close in age, than when you've got a big age gap.
Put your feet up and enjoy your pregnancy.

Answer 7

I would go crazy, if it were me so don't feel bad about freaking out.
You will be ok, and you will do a fine job raising your 3 children. It will be really hard and tiring and stressfull, but you will love them all. My only suggestion is that you start to build a support network. Hubby, family friends etc that will be able to help ease the load from time to time.
Congrats and I wish you a happy and healthy pregnancy and birth.

Answer 8

Well then I'm even crazier. I have 4 girls and we want 1 more. We are going to hope for a boy next time, but will be thrilled either way. People look at us crazy all the time when we say we want one more, but we don't care, we've always wanted a big family! Good luck to you! You are not crazy!!

Answer 9

Well I have an 11yo daughter and decided I wanted one more baby.. After 2 m/c`s I got pregnant with my son and had him July 16 06..I`m pregnant again and due August 3 07!!! We weren`t trying to but it happened...Some people thought we were crazy to!! But if you can afford another and want to have them close than who is any body to say you can or that your crazy? It`s your choice not theirs!! Good Luck and congrats!!

Answer 10

You're not crazy, you're in a position to do it, plenty of people do. Why are you questioning this? After this, though, if you don't want more children, you or hubbie has to get some tubes tied.
