[quote=Anonymous]We had a pregnancy scare and for a brief period of time I was worried about a 3rd. I think if I had been pregnant I would have gone thru with it if DH was onboard even though I was worried about my health carrying a pregnancy in my early 40’s and my youngest was already 10. Back when we were dating when I asked now DH his stance on a theoretical unplanned pregnancy, he said while it would be my choice, if I accidentally got pregnant he would want the pregnancy to go forward - I assume he felt the same way almost 20 years later after having two kids.  I always felt like if I financially and emotionally could make it work, I would go forward with an unplanned pregnancy. But if I thought it would break the marriage or I couldn’t afford to feed the kids I already had, I wouldn’t go forward with the pregnancy.   Since I was coming from a place of a happy marriage, DH fully involved in all childcare, and financially secure so I felt like I could commit to a 3rd unplanned pregnancy.

As far as having two kids close in age, we have that.  It was absolutely crazy in the beginning, almost like having twins.  Now that they are older, it’s great.  I can’t even tell you how many people it turns out have kids 15 or 18 months apart and it felt like most of them were reassuring me that it would be okay one day and how tight they are with that sibling growing up and later as adults.
