Hi. I'm new here, but have been lurking for a few weeks. I have a wonderful DH and two great DS's, aged 8 and nearly 6 (birthday next month!) We have a truly great marriage, apart from this one issue. DH definitely does not want another child, where as I do. I would find this easier to accept if his reasons were based on my health (I suffered seriously from hyperemesis with both pregnancies, and was very close to kidney failure with DS2) However, he gives different, but valid, reasons such as the cost, space etc. Of course I realise that he has every right to feel as he does, and I wouldn't want to 'force' a baby on him. I just don't know how to let it go. I feel so desperately sad that I will never have another child, and I can't talk about it to anyone (my friends and family think I'm insane to contemplate being pregnant again) I don't want to feel resentful towards him, because he hasn't done anything wrong, but I find myself getting so angry. I suppose what I'm asking is, are there any other mums out there in the same boat? How did you get your feelings under control and accept the situation? I do know how lucky I am to have two healthy, gorgeous DC's, so why can't I feel content?
