i've been contemplating a #3 and the only thing stopping me TTC is DH not wanting one
for you, i'd start trying now so the gap between blake and #3 is nice and close
how exciting for you!!!!! ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Yep I would now, esp if I wanted 4 in total cause I'd want to not be TTC beyond 35 just in case it doesn't happen. -------------  |

I think if you and DP are ready for a third then go for it.
I'm only just getting to the point of being ready for my 1st and I'm 34. ------------- http://lilypie.com" rel="nofollow">   [/url] Angel June 2012 |

it depends on when you are ready for another one. I have only had big age gaps between my two (not always planned that way) and I loved how I could spend individual time with each of my kids. But DH wants a #4 and i am 35 now and not ready to have another one just yet.. if we were to i would be 36 going onto 37 and that scares me and is putting me off having anymore...
I had Rhyley at 34 years old and apart from working full time most on my feet, and getting GD which didn't make the pregnancy all that pleasant, I was so much more calmer about things... although this may have to do with Rhyley being my 3rd. If age is the only reason stopping you i think 32 is fine and not past waiting a little while to have another one. So after my long spill all you need to decide is what sort of age gap you want. ------------- Ann

Exactly, quit while you're ahead!! Seriously tho, I agree with what Ann said. The one thing I've found hard being pregnant with a young toddler (or two!) is that I have to be onto it even when I'm feeling crappy, and they still need to be carried around a lot, whereas when I was preg with them Maya was 3 and that much more independent. On the plus side, the three of them will play together (I hope!) and it means getting the baby days over and done with in one foul swoop. Good luck with your decision! ------------- Maya Grace (28/02/03)

I say if you guy's are really wnating another then go for it. as far as being really onto it even when feeling crappy I guees people alway's find way's to cope if the need arises. I am jsut finding i am more tired this thome round cause I can't just sit and relax as much as I would like. ------------- Deborah Mum to:
