Third Pregnancy
You have already been there, done that, twice, so the third pregnancy doesn't streS you out as much. You know what to expect, what's there to do at each step you and the baby take. Moreover, in most cases, there should be no complications, the third pregnancy is said to be easier with the regular symptoms; yet, the belly shows sooner compared to the first time. Why is that? It's a common sense explanation; your muscles are more stretched-out.
The shorter the distance between pregnancies, the easier is the process for the mom to be pregnant again. To take one example, should you have undergone epidural on previous deliveries, this time around you may not need that once more. It all depends, of course, on the organism of the pregnant woman, how healthy and strong it is, or how positive and determineed the mother keeps during the entire adventure.
Sibling Help
If you're having a third pregnancy, you already have two other kids back home; this is in the scenario of no big distance between dates of their coming into this world. Some moms find it hard to take care of the other two and the new fetus growing inside her. well, indeed, it's not that easy. Yet, if you're pregnant the third time around, you already qualify for one capable mom, a hero who's got the know-how for managing all that's at stake.
Ideally, you have a husband there to help you out as well. But, the kids may be a lot of help. And they will love it, too. They love to be given responsibilities, litle tasks that qualify them as the bigger brother or sister. Even if they cannot perform with too many chores around the house or the kitchen, they can surely come in with action, positivity, cute moments; all these are meant to support their mom mentally or spiritually.
While pregnant, you need to exercise, so just being with them usually involves physical movement. Do what they do or meet their needs of going out in the park, or going swiMing, or playing games. It's good for them; it's good for the fetus as well. Even if you still streS out with the third pregnancy, and tend to naturally worry about the healthy growth of your baby, take advantage of the positivity and daring of small children and be open to their good influence on you. Let them take an active part on your new motherhOd, by sharing with them what's going on inside, in what stage is their new brother or sister, let them fuS around the big belly, playing, singing, careSing it, doing what they normally do.
Besides this, it will help you gain some more courage and relieve some of the heavy pressure; it also helps the siblings build an intrauterine bond. The existing children do have a very important role; they encourage the fetus to come out to meet them and share their love.
