[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 and think I'm done (although I could certainly have another given my age, finances, etc.) Some of my reasons are:

- I have 2 amazing, healthy kids. Why risk something going wrong with the third?
- I don't want to get pregnant or give birth again. I love having my body back, being able to work out as much as I want and eat/drink anything.
- Waking up every few hours during the newborn phase is terrible. I don't want to deal with that again.
- Extra financial burdens. Sure, we could afford it, but it's a huge extra cost.
- I feel stretched with 2 kids (both DH and I have full time jobs) already. 3 just seems chaotic and I would lose even more sleep.
- I've taken 2 maternity leaves from my job. They've been very gracious and while I could do it a 3rd time, the whole thing would be stressful to deal with.

I honestly can't think of any pros of having a 3rd kid, other than it might be a bit more fun. [/quote]

These are exactly my reasons too![/quote]
