I'd love baby #3 but my first was born in Oct 23 and second born in Nov 24 making them just over 12 months apart. I've loved every second of it but if I was to bring a third into the mix, I think I'd rather wait until my eldest was in full time school. As much as I've loved being on maternity the second time round with both of my babies, some times I have thought to myself it would've been nice to just have that time to spend with my second since my firstborn isn't in nursery either and since toddlers are so demanding, my firstborn has still taken up so much of my time.
So yes, if I was to have a 3rd, my biggest thing would be to spend time with it as much as possible without someone else needing me just as much or maybe even more

Currently 7 months pregnant with no 3. 20 month gap between first two and 23 months gap this time. Just want to get this trench stage done and dusted. I also love that they will all be in to the same things!

I’ve got 3. I’ve got an Aug 2022, dec 2023 and dec 2024 also due my fourth dec 2025. I wouldn’t change it for the world

My 3rd is almost 2 weeks old..my mums always told me when you have your kids you’ll never look back and regret them but you may look back and regret not having them ☺️ it’s a bit more of a struggle to get everyone in the car but my boys are loving their baby brother! My middle (October baby) has struggled slightly in terms of he hasn’t wanted to know me at all which has been super hard but health visitor says it’s super normal for them at this age
