I say go for it! I have one regret in my life and that is not having a third child. My girls are grown and I am too old for one now, but if you can afford it and you want another child, what is the problem? I am very envious of you. You know what you want and you are young enough to do it. So I say... the 3 mo. old will need a playmate!

I think that when you have too many children to be able to support financially and physically take care of...it's TOO many. I don't think it's fair to make the oldest be a "parent" to the youngest in order to be able to keep up with all of the kids someone has like I've seen some parents do. Helping out is one thing, but one family I knew had the oldest daughter doing EVERYTHING so the new mother could focus on her baby exclusively.
This question should be asked of your husband, dear. It's ultimately up to you BOTH. Whatever you both eventually decide to do, good luck!

I would wait intill the youngest one is a little older (about two or two 1/2) that way you can have potty training and all the major development well on it's way (learning how to read, use the potty, talk well etc) and the older ones can help you a little. Remember you'll have to take some time off work when your pregnant and the baby is born. If you can afford it and are up to it I say why not. As for how many are too many, it all depends on the person. For some people one is one too many.

I'm 19... I'm the fourth child...My dad was married before so I have one half brother who is 33 and then he married my mom and had us 5 kids...ages 26-9...I think having that many kids is good! I wouldn't suggest more than 6! Its a hand full! I don't know how my parents handled us, but they did! Were all turning out well too! If you want more show them equally all your love! Go for the 5th one! You won't regret it!Best wishes to you and your family!

If I could afford it i would have a lot of kids we have three and that is about all our income will allow. I guess you have to look at the big picture How many bedroom does your house have? What kind of vehical to fit everyone? And can you afford to clothes and feed everyone? And most important attention? I mean have you ever seen that show on TV with the lady with what is 15 and counting. If they make do who to tell you haw many kids you should have.

I think it all depends on the person,can they handle alot of kids,can they afford alot of kids? I think if I were you I would wait till that youngest one was at least a year old or so and by then see how things are and if you really wanna have another one. Me and my boyfreind have a 10 month old daughter together and I am 23 weeks pregnant and we also have his 3 boys living with us ages6,4,and3.Plus he has a child in california that he pays child support for.

just think of the future

I have always thought 2 was plenty. I only have one child. A son, he is five years old.......I want to have another one before i turn 30 (I'm 27 now)
People are different though some may not want any kids at at while some may want a large family. My mom had seven kids.
How many kids are too many? My papa and mama had 21 kids together....I think that is too many now....
It is your decision and your life...go fot it or not.. either way you have 4 angels already

I have a 3 year old and an 8 month old. At the moment, I don't like the older one much because she can't seem to close her mouth for more than 5 minutes without either whining or making noise. I love her, of course, and take care of her, but as far as actually wanting to be around her, no. My 8 month old I am crazy about. He somehow senses when I'm upset and will give me this huge smile. he's also crazy about me and lets me know he needs me. I think it's the bonding thing. My daughter never did that. She was really really quiet and pretty observant, but as for being crazy about one person or the other, it didn't exist. She didn't even have empathy or sympathy. She still doesn't too much. The boy, though, he senses emotions immediately and will respond. he expresses fear and happiness, even anger with his angry litte face and actual yelling. Two is more than enough for me. I don't plan on having anymore because I just can't handle this. If I would have had my son first, it might be different, but that didn't happen. So I personally think a third is too much.

As many as you can handle there is no limit on the kids you can have in most cases. Do what makes you feel happy but I would wait until your youngest is around three or so.
