    Hi

    I am considering having a 3rd child... eeek. This seems to be a big decision to a lot of people & interested to hear from people who had a 3rd what the pro's & cons are.. Im pretty sure I would never regret any child & as I absolutely love being a mum. But obviously its bloody hard work! I have 2 under 3 at the moment so would be thinking of having another in the next year or so. What are the good & bad things about adding a 3rd child?

    Well just thinking of practicalities ... Have you considered that you'll need to buy a much bigger car? All your kids will need to be in carseats so you wouldn't fit 3 carseats in the back of a regular car.

    I am currently going from 3 to 4:)
    Mine are 4,2 and 9 months.
    I did not find too much of a difference going from 2 to 3,I think going from 1 to 2 was worse.
    You do need a bigger car ,probably a 7 seater.
    Holidays are normally 2 adults and 2 kids
    3 loads of activites to go to..
    If you have someone minding them they need to drive your 7 seater for school runs etc or you can only leave 2 kids with someone.

    The pros are a 3rd close together wiil be way easier then waiting a few years and getting out of the nappy stage getting a life back then having a baby.
    My older 2 love and adore their baby brother and are soo good at minding him and playing with him.
