Ladies with three kids, quick question: what's the age gap between the second and third child?

Ladies with 3 kids, I wanted to ask you: what's the age gap between your 2nd and 3rd child? And was that age gap intentionally planned, or did number 3 just come along spontaneously? I'm considering starting a third myself. My oldest daughter is almost five (end of January) and my second is 3. I thought I'd first hear about your experiences. Best, Loes

    We're not considering a third... with two kids, our little family is actually complete.

    Hi DCB, I sometimes waver a bit with my husband because I already have quite a busy little family, but still feel the urge for a third child. What’s the wisest choice? Should I let my head rule or go for a third? Best, Loes

    Hi Loes, we have 3 kids, the oldest is 7, the second is 5 and the youngest is 2 years old. The third one wasn't planned, the other 2 children were. You ask how I experience it: very busy but fun.

    I should mention that having 3 kids is really much busier than having 2, in my opinion. You do need to be able to handle stress. I'm a Sagittarius with 3 kids, according to my husband, ha ha ha. According to him, I was happier and calmer with 2 kids, but yes, it also has its nice and cozy moments. I think it plays a role that the 3rd one came unexpectedly, but of course, I'm super happy with my 3 little ones. Greetings, Marijke

    I'm currently pregnant with my third child and already have two daughters who will be 9 and 12 when the little one is born.
