Dilemma over whether to try for a third vhild

I have two DSes aged 3.6 and 1, and until thf last few weeks have been pretty much decided that we're not having any more.(note however that the old baby clothes are still bagged up but I've never been able to part with them).we have our two beautiful, healthy boys and we are worried a third could upset the equilibrium.
But lately I've been thinking loads about going for another child. My head tells me the reasons against-ie my age(41) and the risks that go with it, and concerns that a third could affect the potential bond between two close-in-age brothers.and of course the money.
All this and yet I can't make a decision either way. Maybe it's something to do with the fact that after 3 yes of waiting we are finally moving nearer yo
my family who live 200 mls away, and I would love to experience life with a new baby with all of them around. Errrrrgh, I don't know what to do!!

I am pregnant with my third and am 38. I couldn't tell you why I always wanted 3, just did. If your family really doesn't feel complete and all the logistics seem to work, then you a check-up with the doctor might help make your mind up. Only you and your husband can ultimately decide. Good luck!

For me i wanted to at least try for a third and if it didn't happen then fate had delt it's hand and we would have to stick at 2. I just didn't want to look back in my late 40's and wish we had at least tried.

What does your hubby say?
