@cookie34ss6 I’m in a similar situation… have two kids already (4 and almost 3) and we started trying this month for the 3rd. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. We decided the beginning years would be worth it, albeit hard, to go after our dream of hoping our family feels complete. I went back and forth so much and my gut just eventually put me at ease. Good luck!

@cookie34ss6 In exactly the same situation with two wonderful children and worry just one more will upset what we have, but I can't stop thinking about it. Really keen to hear how others are managing this.
@cookie34ss6 I’m pregnant with my 3rd , I dread it , I forgot how hard pregnancy is , and life is just so simple with 2 kids .
I’m sure when the baby comes it will all work out, but if I can take it back right now I would, maybe it’s just hormones don’t know.
I’m 38 years old, and I couldnt shake the feeling of had having that third . It took us first try and we were pregnant.

@ethanhun1 Not just the pregnancy , just the thought of going it all over again!
@cookie34ss6 I am glad you wrote this. I relate to your post and every response so much. I’m also late 30s and even though I know logically I definitely should just stop at 2, I cannot Get having a third out of my head. I mean it is a battle in my mind that is raging on a daily basis. My body says, “HAVE ANOTHER BABY NOW,” while my brain debates on why that would be a terrible idea. Every. Day.
The struggle is SO real

@cookie34ss6 Are you me? I'm 40, have kids in private school, have one of each, and they are 5 and almost 2.5.
My husband seems way more done than I am, though I'm having an increasingly hard time wrapping my head around the thought of a third after a recent pregnancy scare. The money, space, exhaustion, and chaos are what is holding us back. But mostly the money.
