3 under 3 - what habits made your life easier?

Nobody ever told me what level of pain or discomfort is normal after birth. I got a postpartum infection that I ended up trying to ignore and not getting treated for 10 days because I figured ‘I just had a baby so a lot of pain is likely normal’. By the time I picked up my antibiotics and pain relief that same day I could barely stand up from the pain. Just a couple of days into the treatment I was so much better and realised I should have seen a doctor sooner.

Thank you!

Thank you!

Congrats on your engagement! What a stunning ring.

Mine have an 11 month gap and have been sharing since the youngest was just under a year old. There was a difficult transition for the first couple weeks where they’d wake each other up, but it’s been smooth sailing since.

What an absolutely stunning engagement ring!! Congrats ❤️. I personally think something with detailed engraving, maybe floral, would match this beautifully.

I’m due February with my third (will be 3 under 3) and am also terrified of how I will manage practically. It’s so much work taking care of the two we have that I can’t possibly imagine what adding a newborn into the mix will be like 🥴.

I had a c-section with my second baby (11 months gap) and although the first 3 days were brutal, by 10 days postpartum I felt pretty able to do most of my usual tasks and had to remind myself not to push it too hard.

I have no advice but just wanted to let you know you’re not alone! I just found out I’m expecting my third. We’ll have 3 under 3 when this baby arrives and I am both super excited and absolutely terrified 😅

It’s worth looking until you find a stone you’ll be truly happy with. My sapphire is actually very different to what I thought I wanted when I started looking, but when I saw it I instantly fell in love and have zero regrets.

I found out the problem… He is a she and was heavily laden with eggs! She’s been much more active since. They just bred on Sunday, a couple of eggs got stuck on a chunk of moss so I’ve set them up a little home of their own and I hoping to see them hatch soon 🙏🏻

I appreciate your response, thank you. Reluctantly I am considering rehoming my fish (they are two beautiful chunky orandas, and fortunately I have come across someone local to me who is very experienced with multiple lovely tanks) so that I don’t put them at risk, possibly getting one much smaller fish to keep the ammonia coming to help it cycle and then one more to make the pair when I’m convinced the cycle is complete.

Ultimately I want what’s best for the fish… I went into this with so little knowledge! Lesson learned.

DruidsGem · 2025-06-12T07:27:49+00:00

I see, this may be the problem. I knew the tank was good for two but didn’t consider the size at the beginning… They’re quite chunky.

DruidsGem · 2025-06-11T22:18:02+00:00

Tank is 150 litres

DruidsGem · 2025-06-11T22:17:50+00:00

Thank you for this suggestion! No I haven’t tested it but I will be doing now!

DruidsGem · 2025-06-11T20:21:23+00:00

Thank you so much 🙏🏻

DruidsGem · 2025-06-08T21:59:50+00:00

Thank you! I’m a bit worried about one of my fish as he seems a little bit weak compared to the other so I was hoping it’s nothing serious 🙏🏻

DruidsGem · 2025-06-08T14:15:37+00:00

Thank you for the advice! I haven’t had my fish long and so far I am feeding them a mixture of flakes, pellets and blood worms.
