Wanting a 3rd, is this just a phase?

[piglettears]

We have a 23 month old and a 10 week old and for some reason I'm feeling so sad putting aside baby outfits that our youngest has outgrown and knowing that we won't use these again!

We both always said max 2 and no more. But I'm feeling down about it which is ridiculous I know!

We have our whole lives ahead of us to enjoy our beautiful dc, so why do I feel a bit sad knowing we won't be having any more?!

Anyone else feel the same way?

I always think that it's just the after-birth hormones.

I knew that I would have a third, quickly, but I had a larger age difference between my first and second.

We said the same. 6 yrs later we changed our minds...

Big gap but actually perfect. Two close together is enough work. The third when others at school- great fun and adored by older siblings even now.. 16 yes later.

I think it’s completely normal to feel that way. It’s nature or the human race would die out.

Enjoy your baby and if it feels right for your family then go for number three but you may find you then yearn for a fourth. Then again you may feel done after three. I desperately wanted a third but couldn’t have any more (finances etc). Eventually the feeling passed. Took a long time though!
