I keep going back and fourth on the pros and cons of having another child...My son will be 3 on July the 7th. Up until now I've been adamant that I was finished because I also have a 11 year old step-daughter but now I am not so sure and am afraid I am going to make the wrong decision to have another child or not...So can someone please give me some input and advice on the pros and cons?!?

I'm 20 weeks pregnant with number, I got pregnant on the pill. Not really perfect timing, but we figured seeing as how we did both want one, we
d just go with it. Cangratz :)

we kept going back and forth as well. we recently had a superise pregnacy and i was terrified i did not think that i wanted another baby at all! we were having major behavioral issues with our daughter, that pregnancy ended in a very emotional miscarriage. this led us to realize that we really did want another! i am currently 10 weeks

My bf and I both want more kids. He has a daughter (23mths) and I have a son (17mths). We're not really sure when we are going to do this except that we'd both like it to be soon. I'm unlikely to get pregnant naturally so I think I'm a little more concerned about the sooner the better but he does understand why I'm pushing a little harder for it than he is.

Well I am 8wks preg with second baby :-) I knew I wanted my kids close in age. They will be 22mos. The choice is up to you. If you really want another one have one cuz there will never be the perfect time.

I am! I can't wait to start trying! As soon as I get on my husbands insurance (July) We are going to start trying. And for all those who are going to start in a few months. Look into the AFLAC mommy plan, it's three different plans that help with the bills, (Hospital Protection, Short term Disability and Injury or Sickness,), Im 25 and it's costing me $83 a month but it will be worth it! :)

I have two boys, ages 2.5 and 4.5 and I am throwing around the thought of a third. I don't really want to wait much longer because they are getting older. I know deep in my heart that I could never regret having another child, but would likely regret not having another down the road and then it would be too late.

I am 29 weeks pregnant (today) with our 3rd. Our daughter is 7 and a half and our son is 5 and a half. I have always wanted another one, but by husband was against it (he was concerned for my health while pregnant...even though the doctors assured us I was fine). It took about 2 years of me bugging him about it and getting really depressed thinking about, before we finally made a decision. Not sure if this applies to you or not, but we decided we would leave it in God's hands. If it was meant to be, it would happen, and if it wasn't, then it wouldn't and I would be okay with it.
