I'm not sure if I have posted this in the right place so please be gentle with me We have always said that we would have 3 dc - we now have 2 ds (6 and 3) and had just started trying for dc3. I had major cold feet, always had difficult pregnancies with 9 months of constant sickness followed by postnatal depression that has lasted about 18 months each time. I have decided to change career and take a 3 year course - by which time it would be too late (in my opinion) to have any more - i would be 38 and trying to start a new career.
I am quite happy with the decision as is dh in most ways but I cannot stop staring at pregnant women in the street and wondering what dc3 would have been like. I know that at the moment I couldn't contemplate getting rid of all the baby stuff.
Has anyone else gone through this, and how do you know if you have made the right choice - any opinions gratefully received.
