My New Roman Empire: "When Should we Start Trying for a Third Kid?"

As someone who is now confident that they want a third kid, the timing of “when” is my new Roman Empire and something I think of every day. I talked about this in a lengthy TikTok video that seemed to resonate with a lot of you, so I wanted to do a deeper dive here. Before I start, I want to flag that if you are someone going through fertility struggles right now, I would recommend skipping this piece. I cannot imagine I would receive it well if I were you, so I suggest you implement that boundary of protecting your peace.

For those of you who have been around for a while, you may be thinking, “I swear Cam said she was done at two.” Valid point. For a period of time, I really did believe we would be done with 2. Growing up one of three girls I always imagined having three kids but then after my realization that pregnancy was fucking hard and being rocked by my first postpartum, I thought there was no way I could do this three times. I even wrote a letter to myself during my second pregnancy promising myself that I wouldn’t. Well… here we are.
