Not sure if this should be on this board or the relationships one so sorry if its in the wrong place. I have 2 kids, 8 and 4. I would love to have another but DH is dead against the idea. DH has a good job and has done well in it. I work part time and have no degree etc so cant really move much further in my job. I wanted to go back to uni but finances and kids prevent me from doing so. The one thing that I do well and really enjoy is looking after my kids. I do everything for them, run after them - they are my life. DH works shifts and so I am often alone with the kids. I dont mind - its my life and I enjoy it. Its what I do. I would love to have another child soon so that there isnt a really big age gap between them. DH says we are fine as we are and really doesnt want another child. He says we are happy as we are and that the kids are at a great age. Dont get me wrong, I agree but I dont feel complete. 2 years ago DH had an affair and I took him back. We have made a go of things and have worked through it, its been hard but I think we have come out the other end and are happy. Both my 2 children constantly ask if I can have another baby. I had my eldest when I was young and all of our friends are only now starting to think about starting a family. When someone tells me that they are pregnant I am desperately jealous. Another friend has just had a baby and I havent been to see them as I am so jealous. I keep making excuses as to why I cant call round. Its taking over my every thought - I constantly think about getting pregnant, baby names, what life will be like when he/she arrives, how my other 2 will react - honestly I think I am going mad - not a day goes past when I dont think about it. I'm really down at the minute and cry when I see pregnant people or new borns. I have got a mirena coil so would have to have it removed - I would never do this behind DH's back and I would never get pregnant against his wishes.
Sorry for the long post, I need to get it off my chest and get some advice.
