I'd love to know myself lol!! I went from 2 to 4. We had 2 and went for no. 3 and got 3 and 4.
No on a more serious note, I too found it impacting when I went from 1 to 2 but funnily enough even though with my last pregnancy, I brought two home from hospital it didnt seem as daunting. There are close to 4 years between my first 2 and I found it was hard then to have a new baby and a nearly 4 yo. I know I was a lot more relaxed this time around. Its been fun, i'm loving it all even though there have been some very busy moments!!
Best of luck with everything. Enjoy being pregnant again!!

Honestly to me, 1 to 2 was huge, having a 3rd i didnt really notice it, i was used to juggling everything plus the oldest one was old enough and i guess mature minded enough not to get into everything, if that makes sense. I am actually wondering how i will cope with number 4 LOL ds and older dd are so good now but dd2 is so full on and all go go go i cant keep up! Fingers crossed shes grows out of it :)
Honestly though i am sure you will find it easier going from 2 to 3 than it was 1 to 2 :)
Good luck

The only hard bit I found with no.3 was the increase in washing, lol. They usually tend to just settle in easier, the more you have, the easier it seems to be, IYKWIM. You'll be fine, I'm sure.

I too found that 1 to 2 was harder then 2 to 3.
My kids are 7 5 and 1 and the older two are a great help in getting things and keeping bub amused.
I agree with mummy of 5 I can never catch up on the washing.
Don't stress enjoy it it's not that bad. People kept telling me it was a big change but for us it just all fell into place and I'm sure it will with you too.

Thank you so much
That has eased my mindValentine
I am very excited though( morning sickness not so much)
Hope to talk again soon
Thank you once again:wave:
My tribe is similar to RainbowMum.
There is a 19 month gap between 1 and 2 and I found that a struggle to start with as DS1 was still very dependant on me.
There is a 3 year gap between DS2 and DS3 and it's been really easy. I just have to do things like grocery shopping when DS1 is at Kindy. lol. But now that my older 2 are 5 and 3, they can do lots of things for themselves, they are both fully toilet trained, if I am feeding bub, they can go and get an apple or drink and sit at their table, etc.
I thought I would have a huge adjustment with this bub as my first 2 kids were with my ex and he didn't work and was at home with us and even then I struggled(he was lazy too, so I had to do everything around the house). My DP works away 2 weeks on, 1 week off, so I thought it'd be hard.
It's been so great in fact that we've decided we're gonna have another one day, but we'll need a bigger car first! lol
