Actually I do think it goes away after a while. Willow will tell you, I struggled for a long time because I wanted another baby after we had Charlie, and DH didn't.

So I got angry with him, and resented him and for a long time, felt like that longing was something I'd never get over.

But to be honest, I have gotten of it. I didn't realise how much until a couple of nights ago when Charlie was climbing all over DH, and DH asked me if I thought he was lonely, and were we wrong to not try for another child.

Two years ago I would have cried from how happy I was that he was actually thinking about another child.

And yet two nights ago, I went completely silent with shock, and realised how much I actually have accepted that we aren't having any more kids, and I actually don't want to have any more now.

That was a revelation because I never, ever thought I'd see the day where I wouldn't want another child. But there you go. I actually don't.

So it can happen definitely.
