I also forgot to add I had a stroke at 22, doctors told me the older I get, the higher the risk of another stroke, have to be on clexane (blood thinner) during pregnancy

Hi, i also am pregnant with #3, i have a 2year old and 6 month old, kids will be just over 3 and just over 1.
My only advice, is use your other children SO TO SPEAK, i mean my daughter always brings me nappies, gets the food, spoons, bibs etc.. i don't run her off her feet, don't get me wrong, just don't run your self senseless if you know what i mean.. make it fun, even with cleaning, i was amazed at what my 2 year old could do if it felt like a game!
Take advantage of others offers to help
i think it sounds bad what I'm saying but i hope you know what i mean lol..
other than that i think when i have 3, I'll try get most things done like shopping etc when the oldest is in pre school..
I hope this helps..
good luck.. and hope you don't have any more trouble with strokes etc..

Hi there Congrats on the pregnancy.
I am also pregnant with my 3rd due in Nov, My boys will be 3 1/2yrs old and 15months when this bub arrives.
Currently 31 weeks pregnant and here are a few tips grin
-3yr olds and great at climbing under the cot to pick up stray dummies grin great little helpers.
-Shopping and bill paying done while 3yr old is at preschool
-Hang washing out at night with DH help (cuts down things to be done during the day)
-Have "quiet time" activities for children in afternoon
-I prepare dinner at 3 o'clock when DS2 is asleep having his "nap" (an hour) so i only have one child to watch as I prepare.
-Rest when you need! If you don't you will suffer. Even 20minutes sitting with your feet up can really help get you through the day.
-And always accept help to look after your kids grin an afternoon of no stress does wonders.
Good luck
