Having a 3rd baby?

Question

I just wanted thoughts & experiences on 3rd child, I have a 4yr old & 2yr old. My 4yr old is autistic non verbal & delayed. Don’t get me wrong this in its self is challenging but we cope pretty well. My partner has always wanted a big family and I’m very much impulsive once an idea gets into my head, is 2-3 the hardest? We only have a 3 bed house, but would look to move one day. I know space & money is a worry, but I’m so undecided. Both kids will be in full time school/nursery by the time I had another. Have people got around having to buy a bigger car? Just want some advice x

Answer

I have 4year old and 21 month old. Pregnant with a 3rd. But we have a 7 bedroom. I don’t think it’s much about the space but about how to take care of 3 kids. Due in October so both kids will be in school. My 2 daughters share a room cause we live with my mother in-law and 4 helps. It isn’t easy even with the helps but totally worth it.

Answer

I have a 4 year old (speech delayed) an almost 2 year old and pregnant with my third who is due this summer. We live in a 3 bedroom house. Honestly I’m sure it won’t be easy but I also think the third baby will just fit into our established routine and things will workout. I always wanted 3 children and couldn’t see us stopping at 2 so I have zero regrets and I know I’ll never regret any of my kids

Answer

This is pretty much our situation. 2 kids, 4 and 15 months. 4 year old has autism and a speech delay. We want to wait longer to become more used to having two, so we plan on having a third in 3-4 years. We want to see how well we do with our two kids first and see if there’s any improvement in our son’s speech and aggression. We also live in a 3 BR house, we figure we will either put our son in the basement if he’s mature enough or the two youngest will share a room.
