I'm posting in this forum with the hopes of getting more of a response. My husband and I currently have 1 girl and 1 boy, ages 5 and almost 4. We have recently decided that we want to start trying sometime this fall or early next year for our 3rd and final baby. I keep thinking about all of the reasons why we should wait as long as possible, this way our son will be in kindergarten and it will help us with childcare, mainly the only reason, but at the same time we really wanted this last time to be different and not so stressful. With our first 3 pregnancies, one ended in mc at 7 weeks, we were actively trying-it was so routine and not really that fun at all. We had a lot going on and honestly were not in the right position to have kids, but we made it work and are doing very well right now. Plus we absolutely adore our kids. Since this is our last and we already have one of each, we wanted to take that stress off and just let nature takes it's course. However, we still find ourselves trying to plan which time of the year we want the child's birth to be in and everything we would like to see happen before anything starts. This really just goes against the going with the flow we really want. Does anyone have any suggestions on how they decided to proceed with another child? Did anyone "go with the flow" instead of planning and how did that work out for you and vice versa? I know that when we feel it's right we will know and right now I'm literally going back and fourth every day.
A friend of mine is currently trying for her 3rd and told me that if we want it we should really just go for it, it could take 1 month or 12 to get pregnant, there is no guarantee and we should just let it happen, however this is a little scary!
Thanks in advance and sorry so long.
