Having a third....I'm torn....

[leesha]

I was the same as OP...our family didn't feel complete but after number three it really does now!
I have a 4yr old, 2yr old and almost 5 month old and it's bloody hard work most days but is also rewarding. I'm looking forward to the future when they will all be teenagers keeping me young...haha

I have three. I honestly believe that you regret the children you don't have, you never regret the children that you do have. Go for it.

I love that! That really sums it up.

My husband agrees with everyone here, that we should just go for it because if we're not sure then it means we're not finished. I definitely need some more thinking time but I think that deep down I know the answer

I'm another who really wanted to have three, and now that our third son is here I can honestly say I'm done. I've always thought that you just "know" when you're done.

Even in the early days with DS2 I was aware I wanted another and DS3 arrived six weeks ago (I'm currently in that "Oh my God, I don't remember it being this hard!!" phase ). My first two sons are 20 months apart, and then a gap of 32 months between DS2 and DS3. I won't lie, it's hard work having three under five but I wouldn't change being a mum-of-three for the world.
