I recently he gave birth to dc3 (6w ago). It took a long time to decide to ttc him and I've felt quite confident all through the pregnancy (and now) that he is our last child for various reasons:
I've had 2 c-sections now
Age gaps between children (eldest dc is almost 8yo now)
House size
Car size
My age (risks involving multiple choice c sections which increase after 35yo - I'm almost 34yo now)
Dh's age (40)
Reason dictates he is the last. I realise this is not a problem as we are blessed with 3 beautiful, healthy, loved and wanted children. But I'm very maternal and love babies. I felt a bit sad saying goodbye to the hospital where I had him; to the midwife, and as the health visitor left our house today. These are the last 'first times' too. It feels like my programming is going wrong by saying a final 'no' to anymore.
If, in the months/ years to come, I feel pangs around a newborn, or if my mind wonders about more babies, how do I over ride those feelings?
Any advice is appreciated.
