I was thinking yesterday if we had #3 with the same age gap as 1-2 I would already have a 1 month old baby number 3.
I'm feeling really sad. We only ever agreed on 2 but after the second DH admitted he wouldn't mind a third. But DD has additional needs. At 14 months is still pretty much a baby herself. I worry I wouldn't cope as I am findind the extended baby period frustrating. Not sure I would cope with another baby stage.
I don't know how DS would cope with another person to share the parents with. How would I find enough time for him with a newborn and a special needs child to compete with?
And any new baby has a mildly increased chance of having the same genetic anomaly as DD has. They have said they could test on an amnio for the specific gene but by that point I would already be having another baby as far as im concerned. The condition is a spectrum disorder so there would be no way to judge how affected a new baby would be, they may show little symptoms or they may be so severly affected they wouldn't survive. How would I cope with two special needs children?
Sorry if this is in the wrong place but no where on the forum seemed really appropriate to be honest.
