Dh & I have been discussing about going for a possible dc no 3, we have dd (almost 4) and ds (16 mths).

I hate being pg, and it would prob mean another section (which i loathed) but i can't shake this idea of having another off. Probably both sides of family would be mortified, as both sides are both typical of the 2 kids and thats it, plus of course we have one of each so our family is complete now .

Is it sooooo much harder with 3 than 2? just don't know whether to go for it or not lol. I suppose i am scared too of how much harder life will be.

HELP!! i have done a similar thread to this before but my brain still in turmoil.

i completely understand where jennifer is coming from. i recently lost a sister and it is a real comfort to me to know that should anything (god forbid) happen to one of the children, they'll always have another sibling. its quite a morbid thought though.

i think a third has actually brought me & DH closer because he's needed to be involved and really understands how difficult it is to be a sahm. dd2 stopped through the night when ds was born so although we're both exhausted, it feels like more of a joint effect now ...

I am pregnant with number 3, for us it also makes so sense to have another about 25 reasons not to and only one for, because we want one.

I hate being pregnant and don't particularly enjoy the first year but after that it's great. If I could just be given a 1yo I would be happy. Babies are great though just a bit boring. It has always felt that DD2 isn't our last and that there is someone else missing.

I do worry about DD2 feeling left out and middle child syndrome, but DD2 has always been this huge personality and very demanding in her own ways, I think she already has middle child syndrome.

what is middle child syndrome?? i've never really heard of it, but then again i'm one of loads ...
