do it or don't do it

Question

I have 2 children both under the age of 3, my son is 2  on14th October and my daughter will be 1 on 7th october,  lately I have been feeling like I want to have another baby in our family, most of my life though I have only ever wanted 2, but what I'm trying to say is, how much more difficult can it be, I don't know if I will need a bigger car I have enough space in my house to care for 3 children, and me and my partner both care for our babies, I'm on the pill but debating whether to come off and start trying, I miss the newborn touch, how expensice is it gonna get in the future, my inlaw family are not very welcoming to the idea, because I already have 2 they want me to have a break or basically not have anymore, they're answer was ( you've got a pigeon pair why have any more) I just want to know some insight on how other parents cope with 2 or more babies please

Answer

I had b/g twins with my first pregnancy. I thought all I'd ever want was two, and the perfect opportunity for a boy and a girl, so to get each first attempt- what luck! But after having such amazing kiddos I changed my mind and have another on the way; they will be 14mo apart (and hopefully best friends when they're older.) We already gave away our bassinets to someone else who was having twins, and will need a new car seat, car with 3rd row seating, eventually another high chair... but how expensive are those things really when you're talking about FAMILY? You find ways to make things work 💛 Your family will love yours and all your additions, even if they don't offer to babysit.  You gotta do what You feel is right for you and don't listen to people who aren't in your shoes.

Answer

It's not anyone's choice if you have another one or not. They aren't the ones taking care of them so their opinions mean nothing. Personally if you wanna have 1 more and that's it I'd either wait a year and then try or get to trying soon. I have 3 kids they are 9,6 and 4 and I'm currently 27 weeks pregnant and I wish my kids were a little bit closer in age. It's all about what
You can handle but having 3 vs 2 is definitely different

Answer

Id wait till longer so you don't go through this again lol ik how you feel but my second is about to be born, I know later I might want at least one more. So im going to try to space it out you know. 
If you're ready for another one and can afford it etc. then go for it! Talk to your man about it, see what he says and remember your family will be fine, they have no control over your life, they are just bystanders.

Answer

I agree it's your choice. I currently have a 12 year old son, and a 2 year old daughter. Pregnant with our 2nd daughter now. My son is fantastic with my daughter. I know it has alot to do with the age difference. Now with another due in April I'm more concerned about the daughter. As the eldest of 5 i know a big family is alot of work but having older siblings always means you have friends. Playmates,  and mom will always have helpers

Answer

I have a 7 year old who is honestly more in the level of a five-year-old I have a 1 year old Foster and I also have a four month old baby the only thing that I have problem with is the fact that I have a small SUV and I need to get something bigger

Answer

When my third child was born in January we had a three year old, and a 20 month old! 
Now We have a four year old a two year old and an 8 month old! They can be a handful , and it's difficult from time to time, but I love their age differences! 
Maybe one day we will add another to our little tribe! Right now I'm just enjoying these three! ❤️

Answer

I think I am gonna wait until my babies are much older to look after themselve then, that way I can focus on a new baby again and it will be less stress while my kids are doing what they want xx

Answer

I grew up as a middle child of 3 and hated it. Family vacations we difficult, there were more kids than parents which made things hard and everything is designed for a family of 4. My older brother was a golden child, gifted and got a lot of praise. My sister was the baby and got away with murder. I love my parents, and they love me. But growing up a middle child is tough. My mum says 3 is a lot because when she was on her own she only had 2 hands, more kids than hands. She avoided taking all 3 of us anywhere. I think 3 is much harder than 2. I don't plan to every have more than 2. 
That being said, it's your decision. Don't let your family or random people, like me, tell you what to do lol.

do it or don't do it
