Third baby anyone?

[rosegold33]

TTC third child. Decision thats taken a while to get my head around. Anyone trying for third? Was it wasy decision for you?

I have an 8 and a 5 year old and currently ttc for #3. Seems to be taking a lot longer and I'm putting it down to age as I am now 35. My 1st took about 4 months to conceive and 2nd 7 months.

Good luck everyone hope you see your positives soon 😊

@Mishmased thank you, I'm few days late now I have a very very hardly there faint line on one step cheapie from yesterday, will test later on today, not many symptoms, just mild cramps and my gin and tonic tasted very funny on Friday I had one sip and couldn't drink it

@onedream sounds very promising! Will be keeping everything crossed for you! Lol at the G&T 🤣

@Mishmased thank you bought some first response earlier will test once kids napping

That’s exciting @onedream! Fingers crossed for you!
I got a bfp too! Tested quite early last week and done another one today and it’s darker!

I just wanted to pop on to say, I have 3 children and it is fantastic. A little crazy but lots of fun and love.
Good luck

@Tealchoc thank you congratulations!
I think there might be something here but it's very faint, fingers crossed!

I can see it @onedream!!! Congratulations! And thank you!

Thank you @Tealchoc I'm over the moon but know these next few weeks will be crucial I hope baby sticks in ok and stays put I have one more of these tests so will test end of week to see if the line gets stronger..

@onedream I know what you mean, it’s hard not to worry early on. It always feels better getting a stronger line! I have one test left too

@onedream I've just woken up from my nap to your lovely news. Many congratulations 💃💃💃

@Tealchoc you snuck that one in quietly congratulations 🎊🎊🎊

@Mishmased thank you I'm definitely getting more and more excited, the line looked more darker after some more time so it looks promising..it will be just lovely, fingers crossed, I have cramps today all day so hope it's all as it should be in there, will retest on Thursday or Friday if I can hold on until then :-)

@Tealchoc will you test again and when?

@Tealchoc thank you. I'm still in shock to be honest and the morning sickness is horrendous! I'm 7 weeks today 🙂

@Mishmased thank you!

@onedream I’m going to try and wait til Thursday!

@Tamalama oh no, I feel for you :( Did you get ms this bad previously or do you think it’s because of twins?

X

did you retest @Tealchoc?

Hi @onedream! Yes I did thanks! The line was a bit darker. How about you?!

I had my 3rd at 39. She was the last and we really debated whether to do it. She has been such a dream we are now considering a 4th! I'd had 40 as a cut off but am now thinking of ttc at 41.

@Tealchoc that's great, I did too earlier on, line appeared almost immediately and it's nice and strong so fingers crossed it all works out fine..I don't know when to call Gp I somehow can't fully believe it yet 😀

@onedream that’s fab! Yay!
I know what you mea, I haven’t called mine yet either!

@Equimum

We are! Bigger ones and 5 & 7, and I’m approaching 39, so it all feels a bit crazy, and potentially unlikely to happen, but we have decided to try until April, which would mean a successful pregnancy completing just before I turn 40.

We have talked about another ever since we had DC2, but DH used to travel lots. We had little support and money was more of an issue. DH is unlikely to ever trace as much going forwards and we are much more comfortable financially now. I wish we could have been in the position 3-4 years ago, but we weren’t my and this is our last possible hope.

Hey I’m in a similar position I’m nearly 39 I have 2 children aged 4 and nearly 7 and also feel crazy but like I’d just love one more and feeling excited too ! It’s like I’ve almost forgotten the baby stage and sleepless nights but I feel as I know this will be my last I will really savour every moment ! Good luck !

Another clearer bfp today.

Just hoping it sticks. I remember this stage so early on with my 2 other children of how symptons are minimal and then few weeks pass and the sickness comes

Im trying to to overthink.

@beggingforsleep
I’m in a similar position almost 39 and been thinking about a 3rd for 1-2 years now ! My two are nearly 7 and 4 so be quite big gaps but we are pretty sure we are going to start trying in the next few months. Nervous and excited I feel I’ve forgotten the whole baby stage and sleep deprivation ! Good luck in what you decide x

@Bec8700 I was just on this thread looking at all the lovely BFP posts feeling so pleased and excited for everyone and even a little jealous. I'm even more confused! But the kids slept till 8 this morning. Could I go back? I just don't know!

But I don't want to regret it in five years time.
