those who have finished having kids

[~clover~]

I'm glad I'm not the only one! I keep telling everyone I'm happy as it is, & no more, but I've always said I'm still young & maybe in 5 or 10 years.
I'm too scared to get DH to get the snip, or me to get my tubes done, coz I don't wanna take that chance away.
I keep actually telling myself that this is enough. Bring on the nieces & nephews!!

Jase decided for us 2 is enough I know its enough but even now as luke grows I get a pang of never being pg never TTC again he wanted to get the snip I am like no way... so its good old condoms for us

I know its silly to want another so soon,

We are done - Dh is 'done' LOL. I feel those pangs all the time - when I hear of someone I know being pg I feel a tiny bit jealous that it's not me, and I looooove having a newborn but I think now I love the idea of it rather than the reality. We are at the point in our lives where the kids are getting older, and pretty soon we will be completely out of the baby stage of our lives and we are looking forward to moving onto the next stage - I'm starting Uni next year and we're getting involved in things with the kids. But I think I will always pine away for another one.

yeah DH is 100% against another one. it just must be a mummy thing to alway have a little part of yourself wanting another. a lot of it is wondering about the potential little life.. like what would it look like, personality be, gender, how would the siblings enjoy it etc.. but yeah that kinda sucks that it isprobably gonna be something that will stay for a very long time, even after the decision is made fo no more.

We decided two was it as well especially after my rough birth with Lachlan. I always had an urge for 3 and after Lachlan said that there was no way in hell I was going to go through that again, and Andrew was dead set against a 3rd anyway. However #3 came along and neither of us would give him up for the world Definitely no more though and I don't have any urges for anymore either.

I'm, the same as you Hollo, I just not sure, more than happy with two for us and lifestyle but that PANG...it's there. The sleepness nights bring me back down to reality and having tow can be hard, so three or four must be even harder.

I have actually avoided reading this thread coz when I read the title I thought, No that's not me...but Dh is pretty sure he doesn't want anymore and I am coming to terms with it. But I won't let him do anything permanent just yet....Never say never is my motto at the moment

I have to say, it's good to hear I'm not the only one with a 'pang' still...seems it might be pretty normal, which I think will make it easier for me to accept not having more.

Sorry, didn't want to hijack but just wanted to say that

Nope. No urges or twangs or cluckiness for me. i don't even like holding some babies and never go goo-goo-ga-ga at some of them. I definitely know that i am done. There is only one baby in my life atm which i adore to death...BR's little man, other than him nope don't like babies

And he loves his Auntie TD very much!! (And misses her too...)

As for me, I think I'm done. Although DS is only 3 months old, I'm 34 and single, and having grown up as an only child I think there are a lot of special and unique things that I had the chance to experience that I'm not sure I would have had I had siblings. Part of it was a financial thing, and I was lucky my parents were able to cater to my little desires, but a larger part was the amount of time and knowledge my parents were able to gift to me without having to also take another child's needs and feelings into account.

Of course, 6 days after DS was born I was going on about how I'd love another child. However, considering I'm currently sick and sleep-deprived struggling to deal with one unsettled baby, I can safely say my earlier desire for another one can only be chalked up to major after-birth shock/nonsense lol.
