Terrified of having a 3rd baby

Hi Everyone. Is there anyone out there having a 3rd...and scared of the stress it may put on your family emotionally, physically and financially?

 I'm 11 weeks preg with #3, which was a total surprise. My cycle has always been like clockwork and I've only had planned pregnancies but my doc said that b/c I'm getting close to 40 (38 now), my cycle must have shifted a little, which he said is "normal".

It doesn't help that I'm beyond sick...violently vomiting 6x a day, getting migraines (which I've never had before) and basically can't function adequately (or as well as I'd like to) for my 3 1/2 & 2 year olds. I'm just really concerned about it all.

My marriage is good, we have enough room in our house, etc but can't afford any help at this point. So, anyone else in my position...and if so, how are you handling it, emotionally. I would love to hear some similar stories and how it is/did work out.

Thanks :).

    I am expecting my first baby in November, so I can't speak to how to cope with your 3rd pregnancy, but I can speak from the perspective of being the third child in a family.

    I have 2 older brothers, and it was wonderful growing up with 2 siblings

    I also have two boys - mine are 17 months apart - now 3 1/2 and 2!  Admittedly I haven't given too much thought about the logistics of adding a third - this pregnancy comes after two early losses so I am just praying this lil one sticks!  Of
