Third baby.

What made you decide to just go for it?
How was the change from two to three?

I definitely want a third, but I don’t feel ready. BUT, saying that I don’t think anyone ever feels ready do they, there’s never going to be a perfect time.

My eldest was 8 when I had her sister (different dads)
Knew as soon as I had her I wanted a 3rd and close together. Wanted my toddler to have a sibling close in age to grow up with and I loved being pregnant.
Took us over a year to get pregnant and hes now 6 weeks old 🥰🥰 have to say the first month has been sooooo hard and struggled breastfeeding so mentally and lack of sleep hit hit me after a few weeks. Now found our rhythm a bit more and he's sleeping longer Im loving it and the girls are smitten with him too 🥰🥰 hes our last I know we are done now 🥰

Our 3rd wasn't planned (she's actually the 6th sibling but my 3rd)
I don't think you'll ever be "ready" because you know what's coming 😂 We didn't necessarily want another child but we had her and she's wonderful. You're a different Mum with the 3rd, you've done it all before and even though all babies are different you have a confidence you didn't have with the others. Mine is 4 now and she rules the roost 😂 she can wind up in a way none of the other kids can but I wouldn't change her 🥰

I’ve always wanted 3, I already had 2 girls, an 8 & 5 year old. We’d been trying for 2 years and finally fell pregnant after I was told I had PCOS. We had another little girl who is now nearly 6 weeks old.

Tbh, she’s fitted right in. Shes so easy and the girls love her; they help out all the time.. don’t get me wrong, morning school runs are chaotic but we love it!
