Sorry if Im not posting with proper mumsnet netiquette-new to this, but looking for opinion and advice please ..........
I have just turned 40 and am broody as hell! My ds 1 and 2 are 18 & 13 and my dh and I have been together for 20 years. I have always wanted a 3rd but have tried to deny myself and put it out of my mind as my dh wasn't keen. As we started young (ds1 was a surprise at 21) he wants to be able to enjoy our freedom that we didn't enjoy as youngsters.
However........ i have this overwhelming urge to have one last baby- my dh has said that if I really want one he said we can but I am cautious. Im not sure if I am hesitating out of consideration for his feelings or whether I am just flirting with the fantasy or having number 3 and just like the idea of the pregnancy, new baby and all the fuss and not the reality of raising another child and all the sacrifices....
I'm afraid of having regrets in the future if we dont but, am also worried that I may be pushing my luck-I consider myself very blessed with regards to my marriage and children and maybe I should be satisfied with my lot. Would welcome your thoughts.......
