I turn 40 next year, DH is five years older. We have 4 between the ages of 14 and 9. We mused about a fifth for 2-3 years after our youngest but I went back to work full time and built up my career, we focused on moving to a larger home etc.
Last year I had an unexpected pg which ended in mc at 9 weeks. Was gutted and considered a termination but ultimately we had decided to go ahead when I had the miscarriage. We talked a couple of months later but DH was very firm he didnt want another child. His age, the ages of our children, next stage of life etc. I agreed at the time although if he'd have said he wanted to I would have gone with it. I've tried to move on in my head and get back to feeling baby days are over but I can't. I'm 40 next year and thinking I have limited time. Not sure whether to bring up the discussion again but need to be clear in my own thoughts before I even suggest it to DH. All a bit muddled but any thoughts?
