Hi
I have 2 ds and really would like to have a 3rd baby.
My husband is not so sure and I know this is a decision for both of us but I'm worried if he doesn't agree how I will feel! I just don't feel like I'm complete.
I know he's main concern is childcare costs etc and not having the finer things in life.
What's people's thoughts on having a third baby?

Three's good! Be prepared for things to get more expensive though, as alot of family deals, meal offers etc don't cover everyone. Also when on holiday you often end up having to book bigger accomodation as most rooms don't contain three beds, or you have to use a sofa bed. The dynamics of three kids is very different, but this doesn't mean bad. It also means when your kids are older, you can send them out together, as there's usually a big enough gap for the eldest to be in charge.

Yeah I thought I would always have three children. I'm just hoping he agrees 🤞

I have three under 6 and we're very busy, but I love it. Go for it.

Depends what you would be giving up- a great holiday or all holidays?
Extra curricular activities for your children still?
Do you have a big enough car/ house?
Ultimately I would have to consider the impact on my existing children/ family.

Also do you want another child or just another baby - genuine question

I have 3 and it's wonderful. I'm so glad they have each other.
