I do not want more children. I feel incredibly blessed with the 2 boys I have.
My DH on the other hand wants another one. In his mind, he sees a little girl. Considering there has been so many boys born on his side of the family, I doubt a girl is very likely. He has agreed to wait a few more years to see how I feel then but considering DS2 is now 3 years old, almost 4, and I feel our family is complete, then I doubt I will change my mind.
I don't think I'll feel done after DS is born as I always pictured 3 and really want 3 but DH wants to stop at 2. I hope to feel done if we can have a third
I have never felt done and not sure I ever will. I yearn for a fifth most days. My heart, arms, family has room for another. DH doesn't feel the same. His worried ill want another then another.
Four is special, beautiful, busy and large. It's more than enough....... But just one more would be lovely ;)
I have only slept a full night a small handful of times in the last 4.5 years - I am soooo done!!
This baby is definitely my last. We agreed on 6 kids and this is it. I'm enjoying looking at all the baby things (we got rid of everything after Sophie died, I couldn't cope with it) but can't see it as a long term investment, more a last baby thing. I'm planning my future based on having 5 under 5 and I'm ok with that.
I've always wanted more immediately after having DD1 and DD2.
If I could find a surrogate, I'd have a truckload more but pregnancy is a complete nightmare for me.
Physically, I find it very challenging looking after DD2 (lingering issues from SPD plus a dodgy back to boot) - being pregnant AND looking after DD2 would be a complete and utter nightmare. Given my age, I think I've reconciled myself to 'only' having two. I feel very blessed to have DD2 in particular.
We are struggling to have our second in my head I know it's my last but dh really wants a third and well maybe I do too.
Tbh I can't do fertility treatment again. I can't stand the envy that consumes me. So I'm going to be happy with 2, assuming this goes well. If this one doesn't (as its very early) I'm uncertain if I'll keep trying. I'm happy to spoilt my dd with dance and swimming and private school and loads of time to help with homework and to go on excursions.
I'm lucky I have uni- there is a whole world waiting for me that I didn't have before, so even if my heart wants more- I have other things I've chosen to yearn for rather than fertility issue heartache. :)
