I regret not having a third child. I'm now 38 , my youngest is 8 and we are just now getting our first house.

Answered 3 years ago

Is it too late to have another? Should I just move on? Is 8 years too big of an age gap?

move on my sister is not bad, is God's gift, that particular child may turn out to be the highest intelligent person and brave, I have such in my home right now and my family love her so much even my father that was angry later became happy for the child to come, because that child is a blessing in the family.

I was 34 when I had my accidental triplets. We were not trying for more. My daughter was 8, and my oldest was 10. It worked out really well although I did lose one of the triplet during pregnancy. I'm now 45 and my boys are 11. My 19 yo daughter helps out and they have a lot of fun together. My 21 yo son went off to college and now lives on his own. The boys have fun visiting with him.

Between my youngest and next is almost 8 years. I had 3 under 5 when my son was born and this time well I can appreciate how fast everything goes and enjoy every moment with my youngest. They are all great together and actually are good helpers. If I want to go to the toilet or hang out a load of washing in peace then the older kids are not only more than happy to sit and play a game with her but they are also old enough that they won’t let her get into anything she isn’t meant to and won’t accidentally hurt her.

The age gap between my oldest and my youngest is 8 years and they get along great! There’s 2 more between them but the oldest really dotes on the baby and likes helping out too.
But what does your husband think? Is he up for another baby?

I don’t think the gap is too large, there is 8 years between our oldest and our next child, not intended but due to ill health for me, that’s just the way things landed. The age gap has never been a problem, the kids are 15 and 7 now and adore each other. Both boys. We also have a younger daughter who is 4. The boys have always gotten along beautifully.
If you are settled in your new home and want a third child, just do it lovely. Best wishes to you.

It depends on your own circumstance if a third is right for you or not. But 38 is certainly not too old. Some women struggle with fertility after age 35. While some like me have no issues, I had a baby at age 38, and another at 41.
