Why oh why am I feeling like this?

[diannescruffy]

I have no idea what's going on in my head . We decided to stop at 4 and up until now I have felt really good with that. DH has always wanted one more but he has never put any pressure on me and left it up to me to decide and I decided on NO MORE. Now all I want is to be pregnant. I'm already 40, then I think could I cope with 5 children, sometimes 4 drive me crazy. Then I think of that beautiful little newborn that I would just love to hold and breastfeed. I'm hoping this feeling will pass, havn't said anything to DH because I know he would want to start trying tonight . What if this feeling doesn't go away. Oh why, oh why? Thanks for reading.

Regards,
Dianne

Its that special maternal instinct in you hun.
I know you'll make whatever decisions you need to make you happy. xx

The way you are feeling isn't wrong, far from wrong. You will know what is the right decision but just do what will make you happy

I hope it doesn't take too long to make this decision, I don't have a lot of time on my hands . It's just made me so confused as I was so very sure our family was done.

Hmmm it's not an easy decision to make, but go with your heart. Maybe 'leave it to nature'.... Have some Valentines Day fun and just let things ride out. If its meant to be then it might just happen sooner rather than later.

I always worry I am never going to 'feel finished'.... I think DH will be quick to remind me when we are though!!! hehehe

GL with it all, what ever you choose.

Oh honey... I wish I had some answers for you but I am in the same boat myself.
DH & I both agreed that 4 was our number... then DH says to me the other day how he'd love to have 1 or 2 more, and I think the same thing! I am just kinda hoping the feeling leaves me soon as I know 4 is definitely the number for me.

Wishing you all the very best no matter what path you find yourself on

No advice for you but loads of empathy - I go from being sure we are done to desperately wanting one more on a daily basis. Our other 3 are really close together so if we have another one I don't want them to be heaps younger so I feel like it is a decision I have to make soon.

I wish the answer was easy ...
