I'd really like some help with this. I am really blessed with two beautiful children a boy and a girl aged 20 months and 3. At the endof last year I discovered I was pregnant again and felt really panicked that we wouldn't be able to cope with another baby so soon, plus the financial strain as we are not especially well off. I had just decided that I would cope somehow when we discovered the baby had very serious abornmalities. We faced the horrible decision of having to end the pregnancy at 12 weeks.
I am starting to come to terms with the sadness of what has happened but part of me still desperately wants another baby even though the issues of how we would manage remain. I am over 40 so time is not on my side. I don't understand why I can't be happy with the two I've got - I do come from a big family so that's a factor. But has anyone else wrestled with the issue of when do you stop?
Thanks for any help you can offer.
