So, my husband and I just had our second baby in april of 06, i've been on birth control since my 6 week checkup and, well, needless to say it didn't do it's job very well. I took an at home test last night and it came up positive. He's excited - i'm terrified. Sad

I want to be happy about this, but we're in such a rough spot financially...I just don't know how we'll handle it. Any advice or words of encouragment would be very much appreciated.

Hi my first two kids are 10 1/2 months apart and I was due to have my third on 8th jan but unfortunately she was born too early in september. So I would of had 3 babies in 3 years.

It is hard but i'm sure you'll be able to do it. How old is your first child?
