Hiya, i am sorry if this is not the right forum to put this in.

I am a very proud mother of 3 girls, and i feel and know i am very blessed and lucky to have the 3 girls, and for them all to be very healthy.
But i just want to break into tears after thinking that we should only have 3 girls. I am stressing sometimes when i am dealing with them all at the same time (you know the scene, them all crying at the same time etc, when your trying to get organized to get away somewhere).

I am 25 and hubby will be 25 in Dec, and i know there is time ahead of us yet, to have another baby if we wanted to, but i have had my 3 girls with in 4yrs, and i am almost worried that i will not have that broody like feeling in a few years time, and what could have been 4 children, would only be the three children

I know i am prob thinking way to much into this. But i would love to have that slight glimmer of hope to have a boy, but i seriously would not mind if we had 4 girls to.

Financially we need to stop now, we should have stopped at 2 children though really lol, but Joanne surprised us .

What is it (and i know this is very personal) that stopped those of you who maybe wanted more children, but decided that it was time to stop?

Thanks for reading this, i just feel so muddled up, and i know it is to early this now to think of having another little one.

Thanks very much for your reply Nauseen, my elder 2 children are a similar age gap to your 2 children hard work, but great having them so close in age to. My youngest is nearly 23 months younger than my middle.

But your reply really helps, cause your third little one will have a bigger gap in age than your elder two, and it will be so lovely cause your elder children will be able to appreciate the fact they have a baby sibling, and it would be exciting for them both .
Really looking forward to seeing some piccies of your 3 children, your elder children are gorgeous, and your little sweetie your cooking this now will be just as gorgeous! .

Like Lou said your hormones are all over the place at the mo. As you said yourself there's still time to have more kids. As for will you feel broody in say 5 years time, well if you do then you can think about more kids, if you don't feel broody then three gorgeous girlies is what you were meant to have.

I had 3 girls before I had my son, but even after having aboy I still felt my family wasn't complete, but money, space etc dictated otherwise. So I thought having one little angel and 3 kids here with me was all I was going to have. Well somebody "up there" didn't agree and Jaidyn came along nearly 6 years after Lucas.

Never say never is my motto, whit's fur yae willnae go by yae hun xxx

Thanks very much ladies

I wish i could get it out of my head to be honest, i have a baby at the moment lol, and i am loving every day i have with her being so young, and also her big sisters (i love the toddler stage but my goodness it is hard work hehehe ).

I will try and just keep it in my mind, if it is meant to be, it will be meant to be, no sense worrying about it now. I have a good few years ahead of me yet, for us to change our minds a million times as in wanting another little one.

Thanks again ladies

Aww Elaine. Like the other girls said, your hormones will be playing havoc with you atm! You have ages to make a decision about whether to have more kids or not.

I have 2 boys & we don't know the sex of this 3rd one, but i'm not bothered as long as it's healthy. I have always imagined myself having boys, I don't know why really, just have! I will love this one no matter what & will be pleased either way! It's my family that want me to have a girl, we're not bothered!

I would have liked to have more kids, would like 4 or more, but we only have a 3 bedroom house & 1 is a box room. I don't like the thought of more than 2 sharing a room & I wouldn't put 2 in the box room cos they wouldn't have enough space!!! I'm just thinking ahead to the teenage years & I can see it being a pain!!! Also money does come into it but if i thought like that i'd never have had 1 child, let alone 3!!!

I am a great believer in what will be will be, If you are meant to have more then you will, if not then that's the way it was meant to be!

Lou you painted that box room PINK yet
