Hi, I've got four (as my name suggests!) but I went from two to four as I had twins. to be honest I wasn't really worried about it but I think that was mainly due to shock of not only finding out that I was pregnant again but finding out I was having twins. We had to move house when I found out I was pregnant so much of my attention was taken up with that (not the easiest thing to do at 28 weeks!). My children were 3 1/2 and 21 months when my twins were born so they are a lot closer in age than yours are. It is hard work, there is no denying that. My twins are four now and going to school in September and I am really looking forward to the break and the small amount of freedom that that is going to give me. But at the same time I wouldn't change them for the world. My older two are very close and the twins are obviously close, you'll probably find with your children that they'll pair off like that too. I do think that you're lucky to have your first two being that bit older as they hopefully will be able to help you to a certain extent. But you know you will cope and you'll be brilliant at it and it is certainly worth it. Good luck x

I was feeling perfectly okay with having another baby until yesterday, I was talking to someone yesterday and he said going from two to three is a nightmare and it's so much more work. And now I'm scared. I have a two year old and a one year old and I'm twelve weeks pregnant with my third and final baby. I think if my other two kids were older it would be less scary. I'm sure you'll do fine though, at least you have two kids that are a little older, they can help with chores which will take a load off you!

hi yeah i think we all get scared at some time through our pregnancy's if its not worrying about the unborn baby, its relationships, or money issues or like you worrying about coping, im pretty sure you ll be fine as you already have 3 children i found my eldest child was brilliant wanted to get really involved, and when baby number 4 came i found that i was worried over nothing i coped financially as-well didn't think i would but you just do it im sure it just hormones kicking in good luck and congratulations

I only have one child who is 7.5 months and I worry all the time that I'm not coping. My parents had 4 children and they were worried but just did everything the same as they did when there was only 3 of us.
