I have 2 young children and really do want another. Id like to get the kids out of the way whilst relativly young (!) and so still have a bit of life in my by the time they are teenagers.

But part of me thinks 3 under 5 will be too much, most of the time Im confident I can do it but then I have a bad day, migrane or something and I go right off it!

Today I feel fine again and want to go for it. But I really dont know.

Its the finances that put me off. If I worked we could probably send our 2 two private school but with 3 no way! But I really want another one anyway. Selfish.

Its a tough one and I really wanted more until DD hit 6 months and has since been a real pain. Other medical issues have put the decision on hold for the moment, but I am gradually coming round to the idea that sticking with 2 is not only the sensible option, but also the one I think I want. Perhaps once DD sleeps better, stops being a cling on and is happy and cheerful again then I might start to want more again.

I hope you make the decision before it is made for you .

I am considering asking DH to wear condoms until I can decide properly.
