Had my DS 4ths ago by EMCS and DD (3.5) by EMCS also. Was adamant I wasn't ever going to get preganat again after a long, heavy, uncomfirtable pregnancy.

Now my friend is TTC her third, my other friand and Hubby are discussing trying for a third, another frind is due her fist in two weeks. Am I just feeling broody because of all this baby talk or could I really do it all again???

DH would have another, he has said if I hadn't had such hard pregs and births then he would definitely try and talk me round but he won't because I was so set that 2 was it!!!

FB I was the same - stopped after two and said "enough". But a few years went by and I started thinking more and more about another one. When it got to the point where I was thinking about it every day, I knew I really wanted one, rather than just passing broodiness! Dh always wanted more but would never pressure me into it.

Consequently I now have a 9 year old, 8 year old and 18m old (and I'm in the process of making him a playmate ). The big gap has been fantastic for me, but it made me realise that ds would be almost an "only" unless we had another one (which was partly in my mind anyway).

Also, my situation wasn't complicated by difficult pgs/births. But the dds needed me less by the time I was pg with ds, which removed a lot of the pressure and hard work.
