Every mother I know who has 4 plus kids said that having only 3 was their hardest, and it got easier every time after that. I'm expecting #4 and I'm not really worried. For me, so far the hardest transition by far has been going going from 0 to 1. But I feel like I didn't have a typical experience because when my oldest was one week old, we were moved across country and I literally had no one to lean on other than my husband who worked insane hours. I had no family within 18 hours and literally no friends. It was all me, all the time and I had to learn everything on the fly.

I have a 6, 4 and 1 1/2 year old and we wanted to wait awhile because my youngest is so very Very busy. But we are going to have a surprise baby and I'm terrified

My second pregnancy was twins, so I'm sure that transition was more difficult than this one will be. It doesn't mean I'm any less nervous though lol

I found going from 2 to 3 the biggest transition

I'm worried. My oldest 2 were 10 and 18 when I had my last one so they were really excited and helpful. This time my kids will be 22, 14, and 4. I'm hoping the older 2 will be helpful (assuming my oldest is still living at home) and my 4 year old won't be too helpful or jealous.

This will be my 4th baby. I'm extremely nervous! My transition from 1-2 was super easy.. from 2-3 was very hard for me. I nervous about the logistics of everything.. keeping my eyes constantly on 4, outings will be tougher, something as simple as picking up my kids from school with a toddler and newborn.. and making the same amount of time for all of them, I know it will all work out and they're only little for so long, but I'm nervous!

I have 4 going on 5. I think going from 3 to 4 was a little hard but only because they are so close in age.. 13 months apart. 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 were definitely easier for me. Now with this one, my 1 and 2 year old already compete for my attention constantly so this should be fun lol

This is number 3 for me, but I had someone who had 6 kids tell me that after the third one, it's just adding another seat at the dinner table. Hope it's an easy transition like that for you!

I feel like my number 4 will be a decent transition. My kids are 9, 7, and 2 and all pretty independent. So it shouldn't be too bad. The only thing that might throw me off is my babysitting job. Hopefully I'm out of it by then and finally in a stay at home graphic designer position.

Going from 3 to 4 was interesting, because they are only 16 months apart, and I had never had babies so close in age. The first month was difficult but got much easier. Now I can't wait to add another. When this one arrives, our kids will be 16, almost 12, almost 3, and 18 months.

This is going to be baby #4 for me and I am a little nervous about the transition since I'm not coming back to work after the baby this time lol Which I'm surprisingly ready for (I'm usually ready to go back to work)But I'm tired of balancing work,motherhood and being a wife. I'm ready to completely commit myself to the well being of my husband and kids....but still i know how tight money can get...Hubby tries to tell me not to worry that we will be fine and God will provide. But as far as the transition with my babies well I have a 6, 3, and 1 year old at home all boys! My two oldest go to 1st and pre k tomorrow so it will just be me and my youngest at home by the time the baby is born. We are hoping for a baby girl this time around. Fingers crossed.?

For me going from 1 to 2 was easy cuz they are 3 yrs apart n my oldest was already fully potty trained... goin from 2 to 3 was soo hard for me cuz they were only 19 months apart so it was like having 2 babies but now I think goin from 3 to 4 will be easy cuz my youngest will be almost 4 when this one is born ... or at least I hope it will be lol

I'm hoping it's going to be easy for me. My daughter is 9 and this will be baby number 2 for me. Hopefully she adapts to the sibling she's been asking for and be a big help.
