I'm 36, and have two children already, one of each sex. Eldest goes to school this year, youngest turns three this year but isn't at school until 2027. We have a seven seater car, a house big enough for each child to have their own room and have the finances. On paper, there's no reason logistically or financially that we couldn't afford a third child.
I've been thinking about a third for around six months. Perhaps it's my age. It took me a year to conceive both of my children each time and almost a year to conceive a baby I miscarried, so I don't think I mentally have it me to do all the opks everything that goes with it. It'd have to be a not trying but not preventing kind of situation. DH and I have no fertility issues, just pure coincidence that our journeys took a bit of time and probably couples with all the pressure I put on myself.
Six months ago, I was absolutely adamant that I didn't want a third but my children seem to have got to an easier age in terms of playing together and knowing that I'll have one at school in September has factored into my change of mindset. I don't want to broach it with dh yet because I think he'd think I was mad! I'd rather wait to see if the feeling passed but I'm also acutely aware that time is not on my side either, due to my age.
For those of you in similar situations, did you stop at two or go for it?
