If you and your husband wanna go along with it, I don’t think your family has any say in this! I am giving birth to my 3rd this September and my twins will be 2 by then 🥰
I had my third when my twins were 2yrs 5m so got pregnant when they were 1y9m. And it's had tough days but has worked well so far and he's now 5m. As long as you're not relying on family for childcare, money or accomadation I'm not sure they really get any input. We certainly didn't tell anyone we were trying and we did ivf so there was quite a bit of planning involved.
I had a singleton first and my twins were born when the oldest was around 18 months old. They now play together (3.5 and 2 year old twins), I wanted mine to be close in age despite the rough stages being so close together. It's all your and your partner's choice. My family wasn't entirely encouraging about me wanting a second child so soon but it felt right and I'm so happy with my decision
This makes me feel so better knowing I’m not alone. My family live over 50 miles away from us so we don’t rely on them for anything I think I’m just scared of causing friction in the family. I know it’s not going to be easy but with them being 3 I thought it would be better and be more helpful. It’s not going to happen anytime soon as I’ve the coil but I’m in two minds when to request it to be removed I’ve only had it for 8 months, but the reason I got that was for my mental health being bad but now I’m in a better place I feel ready to try again
We had our third when the twins were 2.5, and our fourth when they were 4.5 this March. Glad that you are in better place mentally and ready to try, if you and your husband want more…why would your family’s view matter much, you do you xx
I wouldn’t listen to anyone but yourself! I knew I wanted more children, but I was very surprised to fall pregnant when I did and have another baby due in a couple of weeks now. My twins are almost 21 months. I know it’s going to be full on and I have had a LOT of comments from people - not always very positive which I found really hard at first and I felt quite low. I’ve since realised though that if I’m ok with it then it’s ok 💕
