Seeking advice and others experience on making the jump from two to three, lesbian marriage- each mum has carried one child, interested but undecided on having a third, taking all into consideration,keep going back and forth on pro’s and cons, kids would love it, financially able, does it change family dynamic if two children have the same dna?managing that in the future, have an anxiety over going through with it but a nagging doubt if we don’t we will regret it…..have others had this too and how did you decide….any advice gratefully received!!

For me, going from two to three was really hard! Mainly because DC3 was a terrible sleeper, by far the worst of the three of them, and then a tricky toddler whereas the older two were quite compliant. He's now a lovely teenager, but three teens is also quite difficult at times! I'm not saying don't do it, but go into it with your eyes open.
