Is it hormones? I can't think about anything else. DD is 8 DS is nearly 6 so there'd be a massive age gap.

Financially we could do it. House-wise and marriage could do it. I always thought I wanted 3 but for whatever reason haven't TTC in the last 5 years. Now it feels like I might regret it all my life. Do I just need to let these feelings pass and get back to enjoying my lovely kids at lovely ages, or do I give in to the madness?!

Do you want a third? Surely that's the most important part.

I was a couple of years younger with a slightly bigger age gap then you. My third was the absolute cherry on the cake, no regrets. But I was always going to have three children.i would have regretted not having my third child.
