going from 2 to 3
Hi i've got two children (almost 4 and 18 months). My hubby and i are both really broody and want another baby (been going on 6 months so not just a off the cuff remark)
I was wondering how everyone found it going from 2 to 3. I'm worried about my 2 children, whether it would 'damage' them. (i'm an only child and never wanted that for my children but not sure if my want for a child is fair on my other children. They'd have to share a room and obviously presents and things would be lower not a bad thing they are spoilt (but nice).
I suppose i'm just asking for people's advice really as we really want another child but worry about the negative impact on our family. If that makes sense!
Many Thanks
Charlotte

I am due #3 in 5 weeks, so as yet I haven't gone from two to three yet. All I know is I tried for 3 years to tell myself that 2 children was perfect, they fitted the house we have, the car we have, we could provide for them, etc, etc, etc.
But in the end I told my husband how I felt, which was the feeling was only getting stronger, and he said he'd like 3 aswell, so we went for it!!
Anyone in this forum will tell you 3 or 4, even 5 or 6 is great, and will advise you on all the wonderful readons haveing more than 2 is great. Ultimately only you and your husband can decide.
Good luck in you decision making, I have a feeling you will decide 3 is the magic number!!
We are so happy now and even more so now i have seen hb.
Sorry for long essay!!

I had all the same worries as you and sometimes I do still wonder if we'll cope financially but ever since having my 2nd I have wanted to do it all over again.
My h2b and I would discuss it and think theres no way we can do it again. all the while my feelings were getting stronger and I came to the decision that if we didnt go for it I would regret it later on in life, i dont want that. And as im a young mum I dont want to do it again as an older mum.
We are very broody now and cant wait to expand our brood lol
