3rd child - yes or no?!

[CarolineDaly]

Hi there,
I have two lovely boys. We've always said we'd like three children but now we have got two (age 1&3 years) I'm not so sure. This has been the most exhausting year of my life! But part of me isn't ready to put my hold bearing years behind me yet. I'm 36 so can't wait too long. What are others' experiences?

SandyChick what did you decide in the end? Same boat here except smaller gap between 1 and 2. Medically could probably do another pregnancy but it would be a nightmare.

I think you just know when you've had enough. I've got three and I know I don't want any more even though I get really broody all the time.

I wish I hadn’t read this thread. I am 30 weeks with number 3, and I so hope I don’t regret this new baby. I’ve never read a thread with so many people saying they do. Oh dear.

I'd love to hear from some of the ladies that posted on hear a few years ago to see how they are doing now! I have 3, aged 1,4 and 5 and I feel like I'm drowning.... I know it will get better but it would be good to hear some positive stories.

So many people struggling with three here, but I see quite a few had a very young #3 at the time of commenting and the first year is very hard work with any new baby. I have a 1 and a 3 year old and hope to ttc #3 soon.
