When to have baby number 3?

[recliner247]

Hi I have qualifications and my partner works full time, I'm currently 20 years old and have 2 children aged 2 and 1. When would you think I should ttc baby 3? I've had a few people tell me that if I want more children I misewell have them while I am younger still compared to having children later on in age again and 'starting again'

Hi 😊 I'm currently TTC baby number 3. I've just turned 32 and my girls are 4 and 15months - I have had the same predicament but also feel that while my girls are dependent on me and are young it's perfect timing rather than wait for them both to be in school and then start the baby stage again! X

If you both have decided to have a third then I’d go for it now!

I mean it’s very individual and what one person thinks is right another will disagree. You’re very young so have plenty of time for more kids and your two are very very young still. Personally I would wait a few years but that’s my preference.

I have a 7.5yr old, just turned 4yr old and TTC #3, and I’m 35. I don’t like age gaps of less than 3yrs, I like to enjoy each baby as a baby, not having to juggle toddlers with a newborn. When i had my second, my eldest was in nursery 5 days a week, half days then started school after 9months, so I had lots of time with the baby to do classes, and have time together. I wanted the same for a third, but waited a bit longer due to covid, and other circumstances.

I don’t understand the concept of ‘getting the baby bit out of the way’, I like to enjoy the baby bit
