Really wanting baby number 3

Hi all, so my youngest turning one next month and i have a recently turned 3 year old also but after a non careful night thinking i could be pregnant but currently showing negative i am desperate for the test to say positive and crave to be pregnant again, pregnancy wasent too bad except the bad throwing up till 24 weeks and tiredness esp with a toddler at the time but i loved it otherwise, anyone else in a similar situation? Xx

Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

It's nit the being pregnant that is the most important consideration though. That's the least important part of it all I think.

Is the craving to be pregnant, or to have another child?

if the latter there is no reason not to have three if you can afford it and emotionally cope. But if you’re only thinking of pregnancy at the moment then give yourself some time to really think about the child raising aspect before making a decision.

This all sounds splendid, very healthy. Why not make it four?

It's about money and practical things for me.

I found the baby and toddler years easy where you are just tootling around at home compared to the primary school years where you are constantly going all over the place for school, hobbies and work and the secondary school years where they eat you out of house and home and wear jeans that take up an entire load in the washing machine.

Now I've got one at university (£500 a month for three years) and one learning to drive (£60 a lesson twice a week) and who goes to her extra curricular sport three evenings a week (taken by me and which doesn't finish until nine) and who will be going to university in September.
