Whilst pg with dc3 last year I vowed I wasnt going to have any mmore as my back and hips hurt..etc and aches and pains were worse than the other two. But as soon as i HAD him within in days I told DH, I wanted another one.. I didnt feel fulfilled.

DS2 is 1 in 2weeks and the feeling is getting stronger and stonger.. ia m acutally jealous of pg people!!! I dont know why ds1 and ds2 are both demanding.. and ds1 os very jealous.. of his brother.. DD is appalled by the idea of me having another baby,... and dh and I worry about how we will afford a seven seater.. day day will be ok as tbh I dont really notice the difference between 2and3 children..
But DH is set to have the snip when he comes home.. I dont want to stop him having it as we had both agreed that this was for thebest.. but had also said if something happened then so be it..
I am hoping once the choice has been taken away from me I will be ok.. I am very happy with the three children that I have got..but there is a part of me that feels empty still and I long to pg again.... I am confused
DS2 was also a if it happens it happens baby as we couldnt make our mind up so let fate do it for us..

Anyone else felt like this in the same sort of situation...

No idea, have just had one and hoping for three. But friends of mine had decided that he was going to have the snip after no3 and he had the referral literally in his pocket. But it did not feel right and so they had anothe rone...and they are happy with having four. i must say, they do not have many financial considerations and had no trouble getting a seven seater, so that makes a difference.

Can you postpone the snip until you are both sure? All the best...

the snip isnt booked yet.. you have to go on a 6month list here.. we have been on it for over a year now.. dh wanted to have it done as soon as he gets back.. so looking at sept.. I know he doesnt want to plan a 4th.. but as i said if it happened before his sniop then I know he will well we both will be happy.
I think we wil have to have a huge chat when he getshome.. next month... who knows fate may well take it out of our hands again.. as we are terrrible for th eold condoms.. esp when we havent seen each other for months on end!! But defo will be having a huge chat when he gets home... Thank you madmouse.. and enjoy your bundle..xx

I personally wouldn't 'let' DH have the snip until i knew 100% that i could not bear to be pg again.

We have 3dc, youngest 11 weeks and i am very broody already. DH was offered the snip (at 25!!!!) but i told him no im not ready for that, even though he says no more dc (said that before lol)

A chat sounds good
