[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Well, coming from a place where I tried and failed to have a third, with several miscarriages along the way, I can only wish our places were reversed.

You have a choice, OP. You can choose to terminate if you wish. There is no guilt or shame that is associated with that. But if you decide to keep the pregnancy, then odds are you will love this baby too, even though it came unexpectedly. Your feelings are perfectly natural!

OP here. I got over the initial shock but I’m not excited like I was with my first two. There is less planning since we have two boys and don’t really need anything, but I’m not that excited about putting together a nursery. The motivation is lacking and I’m feeling guilty. [/quote]

I never planned a nursery (or much of anything) with my very-wanted and tried-for third. I think third kids are just different, you have what you need, you’ve been through the excitement several times already and you also know the hard that comes with it so anticipation naturally comes with a little unsettlement. No need to feel shame about that, you’ll love him when he’s here and that’s really all kids need. [/quote]
