Im really struggling to decide whether to have another baby.

Going from 2 to 3 seems to be a huge decision. Far bigger than from 1 to 2.

Pros to have one
Im broody
DH is broody
Cant wait to breastfeed again
Baby would be born around the time DH went up to nursery (if I conceived ok)
I have always wanted 3
I had DD at 18 - Im now 25 and have this feeling of completing my family quite young so when they are grown up I will still have plenty of life left in me!
I keep thinking about when Im older how lovely it will be to have lots of kids.
I thoroughly enjoy being a Mum and get lots and lots of joy from my kids - I get excited thinking about watching another personality develop and interact with the two I already have.

Cons
My life is fairly easy at the moment, DS now much easier at 3 and DD no trouble so if I didnt have any more yet I could look forward to a copule of easy years and a good bit of me time.
I would like to go to uni - having another one would delay that even further.
Money is an issue.
I worry about all the normal things like 3 kids being much harder than 2.
Will we ever have another holiday!!
Sleepless nights etc etc
Dont enjoy pregnancy

ARggghhh I just dont know

Any thoughts

I had forgotten all about this thread

I am on day 16 and think I have ovulated and we have had a few sessions so yep! Maybe the decision has already been taking out of hands

(fingers crossed)
