I recently found out i was pregnant with my 3rd baby, and ever since i found out these news I've felt extremely  depressed. My DH tells me "Yeah it wasn't a planned pregnancy but it's a blessing" and don't get me wrong i am happy, but thinking about how I'm going divide my time between all 3 of them is what has me this way i believe. Did any of you go threw anything similar?

I just got my BFP for #3 a few days ago! It was to be expected at some point in time. I went of the pill about 2 months ago. This was the fastest I've gotten pregnant after I stopped taking BC.

We're excited but pretty sure we're also done after #3. Having them so close in age will definitely be interesting!!

I am just preggo with my 2nd but plan on TTC a year after LO2 arrives. We want them all to be close in age and we know it will be tough at times but I think the benefits of all of them being so close to each other will have far more advantages than anything else.

I have 2u2 and I absolutely know how you feel! I literally cried for like two weeks and even after that I didn't want to talk about it until I was like 4 months pregnant and it had set in. Granted, neither of my pregnancies were planned (yes, we know how to use condoms lol) but I think it's a normal reaction because it's a lot to go through in such a short amount of time. I had to just keep telling myself that everything would be ok. Worse things could happen. I also had supportive friends and family who reassured me that in the end everthing would be fine. As corny as is it sounds, everything does happen for a reason. I'm sure you are an amazing mommy and although it may take some time adjusting to, you will be just fine! Good luck hun!

Sorry, but I don't have any advice. I do keep wondering if we did the right thing spacing our 2 19 months apart!

If it makes you feel any better, my MIL had 7 in 9 years and she survived. My DH and his siblings are all super-close and close to their parents! I think you just figure it out.

 Good luck!

Hello - I was depressed when I found out about my third.  Like, catatonic, crying my eyes out for about 3 weeks.  It was not good.  She is here now, and yes life is hectic, but we manage.  I work full time and I think that getting a break each day from them helps me stay sane.  My blog has several day to day recaps and other things you may find encouraging or scary, but I can assure you it's not that bad.
