I'm sure this topic has possibly been done over and over again. I understand that ultimately it's my decision but just looking for opinions really.
DH & I have discussed having another baby. I'm really torn.
On one hand I'm really broody & in my heart I would love another baby. I feel that it would complete our family. I'm worried that if I don't do it, it will always be a "what if" hanging over me.
My head says think of the extra cost, logistics -car, childcare etc. We would have to do loft conversion to allow children a room each but not a major job as it's an older house & stairs are already there so space isn't really an issue. Money wise DH has a good job & it may mean things being a bit tight with Mat leave but still ok. He works away for 4 weeks at a time so a bit apprehensive of being at on my own with 3 kids. Holidays would cost more with 3 kids.
I'm 35 so this is a decision I would like to make sooner rather than later.
I'm looking for opinions. Those of you that have had 3, how does it work for you? Are you happy? Anything you would do differently?
Anyone who thought about having a 3rd but decided against it. What were your reasons? Any regrets?
