I’m so scared to be a mom of 3. I just found out I’m pregnant. I’m so scared for a million reasons. I feel so defeated and small, discouraged, scared, sad, nervous. All the emotions…

Just breathe! You will be okay! It will be an adjustment but you have time. You can do it!
I’m a mom of four.
You will do great. Trust God and have faith. Being a mom has great rewards.
Parenthood is hard yes, but it’s also a blessing, just know God knows us before he puts us in the womb he knows you’re a good mama and that you’ll take care of this little new life. I watched so many young children say they chose their mom with God, I believe this is true, the Bible says children are the highest most precious gift you can get and being a mother is a gift. You’ll be ok, tell the people closest to you you’re scared and ask for help, ask everyone and anyone, even ask your older kids for help, mom’s need help, we’re strong but sometimes help is better. Just never give up on your gift, them babies need you they’re innocent and precious and pure, I wish you all the best and I’m sending you all the strength and happiness and positivity I can.
Then use protection ? I’m sorry but pregnancy is preventable

Just imagine the day the midwife puts your beautiful baby in your arms, most wonderful feeling you never forget 
You can do it. Mothers are the strongest women and are handle whatever life throws at you. I was 20 when I had my son and wound up pregnant by 23 again with my daughter it was a shock extremely unexpected but God had a plan and she is the most beautiful amazing daughter. I waited 5 years and then had 2 more children so I am a Mother of 4 and so happy I have each and everyone of them. I would have had another but fertility was a problem. I have heard going from 1 child to 2 is the hardest. It’s easier to add a 3rd or 4th. Good luck with the precious gift and I pray God gives you the strength and courage.
You know u can prevent pregnancy right?? No point in being scared now. Should have kept ur legs closed if it was that scary

You’ve done this twice so you know what to do, and you already have a lot of baby stuff to use. What’s the root of your anxiety? Address that and take action to mitigate it.
Educate yourself and your partner on parenting techniques that will help you with all your kids. Make a plan for scheduling, chores, consequences, etc. —anything to make life go smoother with three kids.
Learn calming techniques like breathing and tai chi, de-escalation techniques, and ways to help your kids get along.
If you don’t already have a budget, create a realistic one. Look into subsidies to see if you’re eligible for food stamps, Medicaid, subsidized housing, vouchers, etc.
Take advantage of food pantries.
Meat is expensive. Eat more vegetarian fare and incorporate tofu in recipes Plain tofu generally tastes blah but you can use it in soups (puree it for creamy soups, or toss in bits in any kind of soup), strews, crumble some into ground beef, spaghetti sauce, lasagna, etc. to add protein. It’s cheap enough that you can get Quinoa is a cheap complete protein too. American factory meat and poultry is bad for you anyway with growth hormones, pesticides, antibiotics, etc. Buy organic when possible and use less.
Make a foolproof plan now for preventing pregnancy long term as soon as you deliver. You are most fertile after birth.
Use more than one technique to be certain. Or get your tubes tied/removed/burned or have your partner get a vasectomy.
Nuclear option: If it’s early in your pregnancy you can terminate it, or have the baby and put it up for open adoption if it’s too overwhelming.
Then why didn’t you use protection? Tons of different types and you don’t gotta keep it.

Do you know what birth control is?
You got this. The third child will just fall in to their own place
I have 3 under 3, I promise you’ll be okay. It was much harder having my second kid. Adding a third was a breeze.
I’ll say the word … hormones. You can do this. Lean on family & friends
You will be great, I found easier going from 2-3 than I did 1-2, it other kids will adore new baby n help also, x
I have 3 aged 12 2 in November and 51/2 months old wouldn’t trade it for the world my day to day is busy but I love it ! Honestly thinking of a 4th 
You can do this, mama. You are much stronger than you know. I was a single, broke very young mom when I had my third. She is such a gift to the world.
Please look for a pregnancy resource center near you. They’ll help with anything you need.
You can do it (fellow mama of 3 here). My kiddos are 24, 18 and 17 now so if you have questions or need advice, there are many of us here to help.
Yeah I’m currently a mom of 2 and can’t take it as is. I’d probably off myself if I was pregnant with #3.
