Hi Mum's,

Would love to hear people's experience or thoughts on waiting to have a third baby? I don't feel ready to start TTC a third right now but worried I'll be too old if I leave it a couple of years. Currently 36!

I'm same boat. Our youngest is 18m. I think I'll wait another 6 months then broach with my DH (last convo he was pretty sure it was a no!) is yours on board?

I feel like if I wasn't pregnant by the time I'm 37 (end of next year) I'll probably give up on the idea!

@honeypotter Hard isn't it!! Hubby is 50/50. I currently don't feel ready for a third but don't want to regret it in a few years time because I'm too old to conceive. I guess there's no guarantees either way!

Hey @AussieMum888 I wondered what your decision was as I’m in the same boat!

Hey @Bellatrixxx sorry I didn't reply to your post a number of months ago now!!! We still haven't been TTC but this month we decided to not prevent it and now my head is spinning with the what ifs haha! I'm back to thinking when can I start testing for a BFP!! What about you, did you go for it?

Hey @AussieMum888! I just turned 38 last week and I am sitting next to my 4 weeks baby son....I fell one month after I wrote that post! Best decision ever, easier than going from 1 to 2 so far xx
