[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I felt just like you did...during my third pregnancy, I ended up having to have emergency surgery and losing the baby. Got pregnant again and have a child with special 
needs. I adore her, but it totally affected our family dynamics and my older kids trajectories. They could not do competitive sports because we could not drive them to all the practices, etc. It has been a hard road and very different from what I pictured my life to be like. We have spent too many years in hospitals, doctors' offices, therapy sessions, etc. Also, there has been a big financial burden. Although, I still am happy to be a mom of 3, you need to be know the possibility that your 3rd could be even more challenging than you imagine. [/quote]

I am a teacher who sees a lot of situations like this with more than two children. Either SN or mental illness affecting the whole family. I only have two, my second has anxiety that would be considered moderate but not debilitating and it still really affects the family and our other child. [/quote]
