If money isn't a problem then do it now while you're still young and so that the girls won't be to much older then the boy (if you have a boy).

Start now, there will be atleast 7 years difference in age from your youngest to the baby by the time you conceive & deliver etc. Do you really want to start over now? I have 3 kids all in a row. I can't imagine starting over again after 7 years. Really think about it. When that 3rd baby comes you get out numbered by your kids and having 3 kids is a lot of work and time with each child gets to be less and less. Enjoy your growing girls and if you really want another one, I wish you the best of luck.

Now, both girls are in school and you will have more time for a baby. Also the girls will still be young enough to be playmates for the baby. If finances permit, I would personally want to have the third child before I was 30. That way if its another girl you still have time to try for the boy one more time. LOL, really its a personal choice and what would work best for you and your families life. Good luck and best wishes to you. I hope you get your boy!

I think it's really up to each couple. My husband and I had all our kids two years apart...They range from 2 to almost 8, and we had four. We had three boys and then a girl. ( I was determined to get a girl! LOL! ) Though I adore and love my kids, it was not the best choice for me to have them so close together, or even so many. I had horrible pregnancies, and the last one actually nearly killed me. But if you're healthy and financially ready, then go for it! Good luck!

Well it is safe to have your third child when, you are married. you are settled down. you know what you are going to do in life. you have a steady job. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS THAT YOU CAN AFFORD THIS THIRD CHILD. Also you should wait until your other two children are at an age where they can help out with this child. But don't force them too.

Go ahead do it now. Actually, I would have said do it three years ago.

when you feel that you are ready for a third child, you probably won't have to ask.

I would start trying now because you don't want them to be too far apart agewise.
