Go for it. Currently pregnant with my third, so am biased! Just didn't feel finished after 2 and knew I would always be thinking "what if... "

We had the 'pigeon pair' - never heard that term before, until I got my boy and girl. But I certainly didn't feel 'done' and we've gone on to have our little ds who's just turned 5 months. He's adorable and it's so wonderful to see how his big brother and sister dote on him. I think it's lovely to give children sibliings - they get so much from sibling relationships. I'd say go for it!

I always said I'd like 2 dcs, dh works away and I was trying to be practical. I had a boy, then a girl. A friend had one of each, too, then went for a 3rd and I asked her what made her decide, she said a friend had said to her "you know when you've had enough, and I didn't", and it struck a chord. I also knew I had not had enough. It's nothing anyone can explain but it's just how you feel and so if that's how you're feeling, then that's what you should do.

I am now 34 wks pg with no 3 and absolutely delighted, if a little panicked by the juggling that will ensue, but hey, I can't wait for d-day and already know my life is complete, I am done, and it feels great.

I will be exhausted, skint, and a complete mess, but it feels great!

I have 3, DD1 is 5, DD2 is 3 and DS is nearly 1. DS is lovely and I'm so glad I had him. Definately agree with the previous poster who said you know when you have had enough, I just didn't. I have now though as am knackered
