My husband would like a third baby but I’m really unsure we already have a three year old and a one year old. The pregnancy and labour was horrendous with my one year old and thinking about going through that again gives me major anxiety. We don’t really have the space at the moment but in the process of getting a bigger house. Iv also started donating all our baby bits we don’t need anymore. A part of me says what if but in a few years time but another part of me says it will be too late as I’ll be 35

Do what’s right for you! I’m 35 and just had my first baby he’s 9 months old, definitely want more children in the next couple years but I’m not thinking age will stop me in the future. If it happens great if not then so be it x

Im 36 with a newly 3yo and a 15mo so you have time if you want another.
We are 2 and through and partner got snipped after 2nd and last baby. I am very happy with our 2 girls and in another life would have had at least 4 kids. But due to certain medical and somewhat financial restrictions we stopped at 2.
Having a 3rd means many adjustments. Bigger house, bigger car, awkward amount when going on holidays or theme parks or any entrys to things like the typical family of 4 (not the end of the world but still gets more expensive).
So you have to really have a think about what YOU really want.
