Anyone trying to decide whether to go for a 3rd child?

Title says it all really - anyone else in my boat and can't quite bring myself to take the plunge just yet but pretty sure DH and I would love to for another child. Gulp. DS just 4 and DD 2 early next year.

We decided to try for number 3 in summer, now on cycle 3 after a chemical pregnancy on first month . Its scary spiders but what the heck, we will manage. dd is 5 and ds is 2

Jelly - hang on in there. Chemical preg is rotten. I had one the first month of trying for DD. The following month I conceived her!
DH saying that he is happy to go for it but only for a finite time - doesn't want us to be too ancient or too far out of nappies etc. Will slightly put the pressure on. I'm not sure I'm ready to go for it until the Spring - to give me a chance to get fit and healthy and because I'm not wild about the idea of another winter baby. But we'll see.

Good luck!

We trying now as dont want a winter baby again (2in Jan is enough). I figure will get fit n health with 3 to run after. Good luck with whatever you decide x

Hi firstgold My story is exactly the same as myjobbut only up to point where I am not pg as had a mmc in April. We debated for far too long whether to have a third dc and for the same practical financial reasons. Now that we have decided to ttc I feel we have left it too late what with very irregular cycles and mmc. My advice would be to just go for it and you'll find a way through the practical stuff.
