My husband and I are in our early 30s we have 2 kids boy 7 girl 5 we are thinking of having a third I had previous si joint problems with both pregnancies and have worries with doing it again also we are now an established family who has kids that are that bit more independent so don't know if this is the right thing we both long for a third but are we crazy??? Do you ever regret not having or having a third.

We currently have three Dd's and dc4 on the way! When number 3 came along the older two were 7 and almost 5. We had similar concerns and conversations (even more so this time round!) but basically decided that you can look back and regret not having a child, but can't see how you could ever regret having one!

It's a little crazy at times but wouldn't change it for the world. The older two are old enough to be helpful but also really enjoy having a little sister. It's great... Although check back in a few months when dc4 is here to see if I'm still saying that lol!!!

Lol your brave going for a fourth we always wanted a big family but with childcare costs when I returned to work it put us off then one year fell to next my husband was adamant that it was a no last year so I thought well onwards and upwards with two we have and started to enjoy it and now he has said would really like third and I have always wanted another so seems like the right thing to do but throws lots of questions up will finances stretch is probably the main one. We have a family size car and 3 bed house which would have to figure out where to fit another we don't go lots of flash holidays or fancy meals so it feels that it's the right thing and we both would love another wee person running about house husband keeps saying it's only another tatie in the pot but we would be starting from scratch again I gave away all of our stuff, I've said I want to loose weight and tone so don't have same joint problems hopefully so that gives us few months ha. Thanks for message back I appreciate it and good luck with number 4. :-)
