If I feel like this, does it mean this is my last pregnancy?

I think I'm going to face the same decision as you. I've had my babies around the same time as you, and I'd love to have 4, but I wonder if I can physically. I'm only around 6 weeks pg and I'm already tired LOL. I like Nelle's idea though, maybe a larger gap between 3 and 4? I ideally would have liked a larger gap between 2 and 3.

I felt a bit like I was done during my second pregnancy. I was also tired and in paid due to pelvic instability. We had decided on 2, but still had left thing open for another. Honestly now, I do not want another. The done feeling never really went away, it waned a bit with the odd time where I considered a 3rd, but overtime it just got stronger.

Saying that though, don't go writing off another bub just yet, see how you feel a bit later down the track.

Hun, I had a friend say to me that once you're done, you know you're done- you don't question it, and that's how you know. I don't know if that's true or not, but the fact that you're thinking about it maybe means you're not done, iykwim? I imagine there would be a fair bit of grief involved in being 'done' too, and you'd have to let yourself work through it.

FWIW, I find i feel completley differently about most things when I'm pg to what i do normally. maybe this is a question best left until you have bubs, and after the babymoon is over. All that exhaustion, pain and sickness can take their toll mentally as well as pyschically.

Big hun.

It might be your last, it might not, but now is not the time you should be making your mind up for sure! I agree that a larger gap mightn't be a bad thing, if that's a possibility for you and your family.

For us, we want to start TTC next year, and I'm 95% certain she/he will be the last one. In that way, I'm kind of looking forward to a whole lot of "last times" eg "This is the last time I will have to feel like hell every evening/morning/day" (whatever time m/s decides to hit), or "This is the last time I will feel this kind of back pain" etc, etc. I really didn't feel that last time, and that was the thing that convinced me that #2 was not the last for me, iykwim.

Maybe your second trimester energy is taking a while to kick in, as well? You might feel a bit better as you get further on. Take it easy

thats certainly how I felt during my third pg. Now I think i will prob still have another, but only after a long gap (at least 5 yrs or longer), but then i am only 27yrs old - so i guess if I were older that tit may very well have been he last pg. IYKWIM?
