Gwyneth Paltrow decides on baby three

Gwyneth Paltrow decides on baby three

Gwyneth Paltrow is no stranger to the dilemma of whether or not to try for another child. The 39 year old actress recently spoke of her baby freak out moment and how the daily school run being a fing drag influenced her final decision.

Gwyneth Paltrow, seen above showing some skin on the March cover of Harper Bazaar, is mother of 7 year old daughter Apple and 5 year old son Moses with husband Chris Martin. She told the magazine:

other day, I was saying to Chris, window closing. Do we want to have another baby? I don think we do, but let just have the discussion, and he said, can have another baby, but you realize you be doing the school run until you 58. I was like, I bet you anything I have a daughter, and she be a really cool butch lesbian and be so above jumpman23 clothes, and I got a very clothes obsessed child. So if she a lesbian, she a lipstick lesbian. She doesn like anything avant garde at all. She likes anything that pretty, pretty, pretty or has a bow or a ruffle or is pink. I don feel quite as passionate about disliking the daily school run as Gwyneth Paltrow appears to, it similar reasoning that helped me decide not to try for a third child. As much as I love my two boys I can imagine going through another infant and toddler stage!

I be 43 by the time my boys are both legally adults. That doesn scare me like Gwyneth fear of being 58 does, however. It quite the opposite! I looking forward to being with parenting (I know always be their mom!) at such a young age. Babies are good great even but time without them will be grand as well.

How do you decide whether or not to try for another child?

I have a nearly three year old daughter, and I just have this feeling like someone is missing from my family. I always felt like I wasn yet, but recently, the feeling has become more defined and I can articulate it to the point of just feeling as though there should be a second child. Now, my problem is getting my husband on board. He isn certain that he one and done, but he also worries about money, which is very tight right now, so I may be waiting a very long time (if ever) to complete my family.

Yeah my biggest drive for wanting to have a second (and last) before my 1st got too much older was diaper duty. While it such a super short time in one child life I don want to totally escape it only to begin again again and again and again. Also, I don want 2 in diapers because, oh my God, the diapers and poop and vomit, it enough to put in the looney bin. So, we timed our second to come shortly after potty training should be done but not so far gone that it a heartache to go back to diapers again. School drop off sounds like cake, but I betting the Gweynth had a nanny who would do the dirty diaper duty the majority of the time.

I always wanted 3 or 4. We started trying to get the bun in the oven at a certain time with my career in mind (opera singers come into their own around 40). I have had an easy pregnancy. I still don know if I want more than one. When I asked how many i want I can honestly say I have no friggin clue. We do want our later lives to be together (he be retired I be singing and he can come with me anywhere I need to go) with adult or almost adult kids, not babies. Its a tough decision to make and I glad I nowhere near the window of opportunity closing time.

I would love 3 or 4 or 5. The problem is beating my husband into agreement. We currently have 2 kids one is 5yrs and the other is 4 months old. I was 34yrs when I had 1 and 39 with 2 so time is ticking. I would like to get pregnant again in a year or so with 3. We were TOTALLY done but then she turned 1 and we missed all those baby days we got pregnant on our first cycle trying and now we swear 3 is IT. I just turned 26 and we have 3, 3 and under this summer at this rate, who knows how many we actually end up with lol. I love every moment with them but I always swear that when I hit 30, I done no matter how many we have! My parents were OLD when they had me and I don want to not be able to do things with my kids because of my age. Right now, my father is as old as DH grandpa!

I would love to have lots of kids! Age is against us though Our first was born when I was 38 and hubby 46, second child I was just 41 and hubby 49. I am hoping for a third, and if it happens great. Like a few others have said, I loved being pregnant, having a newborn, and little ones around. We also have money concerns (there will never be enough money ) and would like to retire at some point! I always tell my hubby that he was lucky we didn start having kids when we were younger because we would have a house full of kids!

We didn get married until I was 31, and unexpected money difficulties prevented us from doing a lot of things in the beginning, plus we wanted to have a few years to ourselves to settle in as a married couple. On a budget friendly trip for our second anniversary, we ended up getting pregnant unexpectedly. Our son is a joy, but there was a lot of stress during the pregnancy that made it difficult for me to enjoy the experience while working two jobs and wondering how everything would work out. Our boy just turned one, and I about to be 35. My husband is starting a two year transition to a new career, so money will be impossibly tight. I had a traumatic birth experience, as well, so although I never thought I would only want one child, that may be how our family is completed.

For me, I wanted 2 so bad, I was so afraid of missing out on him. But the day I discovered I was pregnant again it was like a sense of completion fell over me and I was at peace. While I am nostalgic about their baby years, and never hated them, I just content to enjoy the next phase just as much. I never looked back, knowing in my heart that my family is complete. But, I think people should stop putting pressure on others that they to have another one, or to stop having more. Let each family reach their moment of fulfillment. It a personal decision to be made as a family.

This is my first post ever, but I feel compelled to weight in. I have five beautiful children. The first is my step son, aged 24, the youngest of my four natural born is 2. I am now 44 (gasp!) and have loved every minute of it. If I could I would do it again. I always said that the shop would close when I turned 40. I got pregnant with my fourth at 38 (just prior to my 39th b day) and would have delivered four months prior to turning 40 and I felt all was perfect. I miscarried that baby and it tore my heart out. I did not feel complete as of yet. My husband and I were blessed with our now two year old when I was 41, and I would do it all over again. The amount of love and joy I get from my children is overwhelming. Sure there are hard times, but they are so much less significant than all the happiness I feel in my heart.
