2.5 year old twins and partner would love another

Everyone always says “you must be done now” and I always agreed but my partner would love another and I just don’t know … sometimes I would love one more, and others I’m like hell no!! Has anyone go on to have another? And how did you find it?

I have 10 month twins and sometimes I think of another one in the future but right now noo way I m sooo exhausted.. how was your journey? I love the idea of just having one more but then I get worried how will I take care of these two..

It does get easier promise. My first year was tough, my partner shows me pictures and I don’t even remember it happening! They’re good boys and sleep well (that’s probably what’s making me think more about it!) albeit fight like cat and dog but 5 minutes later be cuddling watching paw patrol. I would get pregnant straight away if I knew it was going to be one and a girl 😂

That’s nice to hear.. I feel a bit relieved .. mine are crazy at the moment in terms of sleep mostly hence I m sleep deprived .. mine are girls.. my partner and I would love a boy next and only one I don’t mind two again but it will be impossible for me and my partner with no help.. even right now I m so reliant on my family.

I have two year old twins, I would like another baby but not just yet, ideally timing it with them going to school so that it’s not a huge gap but also so that it’s much much more manageable.

the pregnancy wasn’t great as i was constantly tired due to having two to look after as well as myself but luckily at the time we were living with my mum until just before I had my little girl as we were waiting to move into our new place so she helped us out when she wasn’t at work or would watch the boys if there dad was at work so I could get some sleep just so I had some energy. When I eventually had her the first month was hard I cried pretty much every day but once we got them all in a routine it got a lot easier. I might of regretted it and thought it was a bad idea at first but I definitely don’t now, she absolutely adores her brothers and there completely obsessed with her and now she’s moving about they will sit and play with her and it’s such a joy to see

I think it really depends on your circumstances too, how much you have and how comfortable you are? If they go to nursery, if you wait for school. How your body has recovered, how physically ready you are. How emotionally ready you are to hold space for another little being that needs the whole of you. How much sleep you’re getting. And then sometimes life just decides for you haha

I have just turned 4 year old twin boys who are both autistic. I also have 8 month old boy girl twins. They were just over 3 when I had the other set of twins. It is hard at times, (I was left to raise both sets of twins when the babies were 5days old) no help. I just got a routine sorted and told myself it’s all worth it when they have their firsts or give you a hug and say love you the tough times are def made worth it by all the memories and good times x
