[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just remember you get what you get, and your 3rd could have special needs far beyond what your other two have.

We were already pretty overwhelmed with just one baby, went for the 2nd. Our 2nd has a super rare genetic disorder and significant special needs. I did all the prenatal testing.

We are drowning and certain we cannot handle a 3rd.

[b]Amnio with microarray is the test I’d get, especially with a 3rd baby where you’ve already got 2 kids you have obligations to.[/b] [/quote]

Yes this. I have 3 healthy kids. It is so much more work than two. Mine are older now, 12, 10, 5.  But for the first few years and even now still, the youngest just needs a lot more of me and the older two have to do without.  Family activities are hard to please everyone and be age appropriate, travel is a lot harder, so much more laundry, shoes in the halls, stuff to organize and stay on top of.  It really is way more work than I was expecting and I SAH.  If the third had special needs I would be way WAY over my head in so many ways plus need hired help.  [/quote]
