17 weeks pregnant with my third baby, and I am having mixed feelings... I am scared, can I really do this?!!!?

My husband recently got a promotion at work, and will not be available to help me with the three children... not that he really helps me out that much now... but will I really have the energy and what it takes to parent a girl who will be four in June, a boy who is turning 2 in January and a newborn in March; plus keep up on household chores such as laundry, cleaning, and dishes?! I need some help, because I have bipolar disorder and sometimes I can't remember to take my own medication!!!!

    Hiya hun!

    I know exactly how you're feeling.

    My twin daughters were only 18 months when I gave birth to my son.

    Prior to having my son, I was absolutely terrified that I wouldn't be able to cope. It didn't help that everyone was telling me, "you're crazy for having another one! It'll be like having triplets."

    I was like, "Well thanks for the support!" lol

    It is hard, but you learn to cope and adapt to you new life with 3 children. Once you get in a routine that is, which won't take too long. To be honest, I have found it a lot easier than I thought it would be.

    The twins are still in nappies too! So it feels like I'm forever changing nappies! lol

    If I can do it, you definitely can do it. Please try not to worry so much.

    Good luck hun, but I have a feeling you won't need it.

    ;-)

    i would not subject. i did no longer experience flow till 18 weeks and up till he replaced into born, i'd have long stretches of in basic terms feeling him pass as quickly as an afternoon and a few days never. It drove me loopy and that i'd each each now and then stay unsleeping till a million or 2 am waiting for him to pass. : ) just to make your self experience greater suitable, you would be able to desire to continually pop into your Dr.'s workplace for a rapid coronary heart value examine. I did greater then as quickly as. : )

    Good luck, if you have a hard time I would get a maid or something like that so you can focus more on the kids. That's what my mom did, and there not that expensive!
