3u3 intro

MaineMama

Hello! My husband and I just found out yesterday that we'll be 3u3 in Feb! We want to have a large family so we are very happy. We are keeping it quiet untill we get our first ultrasound (my MD does a viability us) Telling family is going to be...intresting....

Our belief systems are very diffrent from any one in either of our familys, and yesterday while on a walk with my Mother she told me how she really didnt think we should have more, blah blah, *Way to be a buzz kill, ma!* BUT, since we are married adults and pay our own bills we'll stop once we get an ugly baby

Congratulations! You are braver than I am. I am now at the *close to* end of my 2nd pg, and being pregnant back to back is causing the end of this pregnancy to be very difficult. I couldn't imagine doing this again in the next couple of years!

I'm 3u3 too, due in January. I'm also in a similar situation as my ILs probably will NOT be happy for us/our latest pregnancy. They reacted very poorly to the first two, and while they love their grandsons, I just don't think they have a lot of respect for my husband and my family planning decisions. They also think it's their business to have an opinion and share.

I will say that there's a lot of support to be had on the Bump, that's why I'm here. I hope you get a lot out of the 2u2 board. Welcome!

We are just talking about a 3rd and planning and my father in law let it be known he doesn't think we should, and when we had number two, he told us we would "get through this...". I just try hard to ignore him.

Awww, that sucks! My family isnt on board, but they at least keep their neg comments to themselves for the most part. Once we announce a pregnancy they are happy for us (at least to our faces, lol!). My father said something negative once and I told him that the next baby (who he was telling us not to have) was the one I was planning on being the only one to visit him in the nursing home

Congrats!

We are also expecting 3 under 3 in September and our family thinks we're nuts. I was not at all excited to announce this pregnancy because I knew that I wouldn't get enthusiastic responses... but I wasn't ready for "But you are already struggling!" and other responses like that. I was ready for the many "Was it planned??" response from friends and family...

It took me a while to be excited about it because of this, but once it was totally out in the open and I just tuned out those people, I was very excited about our definitely planned next addition!

I was 3u3 last year, and honestly, the 3rd one was my easiest in terms of stressed out, nervous, etc.  Everything still felt so fresh on my mind from the other 2 that I really wasn't worried about much of it at all.  I knew to just go with the flow - and he ended up being a very laid back baby, which definitely helped.  You'll do fine!  Don't worry!
