Going from 2 to 3

I've just found out I'm pregnant with number 3. I only ever wanted 2 but my husband has always wanted more. I don't know how I feel about this I'm not sure if I want to go through with it.
Is it easy going from 2 to 3? Any advise would be appreciated.
Thank you

I honestly didn't find it very hard to go from 2 to 3. Nothing really changed, kept same car, didn't need a bigger house, routine didn't really change that much. But everyone is different, im a very easy going mumma and rarely get stressed about anything. I found going from 3 to 4 more expensive, as we required a bigger car and a bigger house, but again not stressful and easily adjusted to. All the best xx

I found it alot easier going from 2 to 3 than it was going from 1 to 2. The kids already know how to share

2 to 3 is a piece of cake - out third bub has just fitted into our family dynamic so wonderfully & seamlessly. Much harder going from 1 to 2

I found 2 to 3 hard, actually really hard. I really did struggle. I felt as though I was being pulled in 500 different directions and I ended up with PND quite bad. My 3rd is now 5 and there are still days when I struggle, being outnumbered by the kids isn't easy, someone always seems to be left out.

It was easier than going from 1 to 2. You keep the normal routine and just fit the baby into it so the older kids aren't disrupted too much. I think the hardest part was getting used to feeding between the other kids demands and getting three kids in and out of the car but you get used to it and the older kids get a little more independent. I was FREAKING OUT when i was pregnant with number three, but today they were all playing some game together and I couldn't ever imagine only ever having two!
