Advice needed from mums of three!

Hello!

We have two dc (two years apart) and we would like a third. My eldest will start school next September, so i’d like to enjoy this last year with her and her sister at home. My husband is a bit older than me and would like to get on with it now.
I was thinking that it would be more sensible to have a third at some point once she’s at school, but now I’m wondering whether we should just go for it before we need to get into the routine of school. I’m expecting that she’ll need my help and attention a lot during that first year, so would it be unfair for us to have a new baby then?
Would it be more sensible to just get on with it and have them all at home for the summer before eldest goes to school? By which point I’d be recovered from pregnancy, birth etc and baby would be around three months if we were to try this month (I know I’m assuming a quick conception here but other two were first month of trying).

If you could have chosen when to add your third baby, when would’ve been the perfect time?

Hiya,
I have a 4 yr old, 2 year old and 6month old, as wanted to get the new baby in before 4 year old started school in September. I am glad we did as he was unsettled by it and did regress with some of his behaviours and I think if he had started school as well then it would have been a lot of change. Having said that it has been hard work having them all at home most of the time (bar three short mornings at preschool) and I am looking forward to school starting in September!!!
