scared to be a third time mom

[Ashleigh529]

Ive been on and off scared about having our 3rd baby but for some reason today im like extremely freaking out! My oldest is 6, she'll be 7 in October and my other one will be 2 in July. My son (the youngest) is a big time mamas boy and still occasionally sleeps in bed with me. Hes at an amazing age where he loves spending time with his grammy for a day every so often so i can get out and get some "alone, well needed adult time". I feel incredibly selfish but im just so scared to have this new baby. Im totally mentally and physically exhausted and have been stressing over what my new life will be like. And it doesn't help that i ran into a lady yesterday at the store who took it upon herself to wish me good luck and tell me how horrible 3 kids is and i shoulda stopped at 2! Really?! Thanks lady! Any moms with 3 kids that can enlighten me? Im really freaking out :-(

Dnt doubth urself having a baby is a blessing. U sound like a strong mommy. Stay strong!! I understand how u feel ur hubby needs to spend time with u too. But think about it this way too hes workin to support u guys give him a little credit too. It sounds like hes not choosin to be away its more like not being an option.

Thats what i dont have is help from the daddy. He works the most ridiculous hours i hate his job! He might as well be military bcus hes NEVER home. I know im a good mom but im scared im not meant to be a mom with tons of kids. The stress i experience on some days with the 2 i have is about all i can handle. Im just worried. Hopefully ur right and ill adapt and it wont be a nightmare.

I have 4 kids and one on the way in July, completely unexpected pregnancy! I was nervous in the beginning but now I'm excited for his arrival! Is hard not to panic when you have a few kids involved but it'll all work out for the best....you were blessed with this baby for a reason!
