Hi,

Give it time, OP. No need to rush. Enjoy your baby. x

Release the hormones from babymaking prison, OP. Let 'em run free! You'll come back to reality soon. Grin
Focus on what you've got. Don't plan a baby now. Hone in on the here and now and enjoy the bundle you're actually holding!

Jeez op you’ve got a 9 week old baby and you already want another?! Enjoy what you have right now is my advice, and also that if your dp doesn’t want 4 then you have to stick at 3

I have four and it's great Grin when I came home from hospital with number 4 I was so broody again, I think it must be hormones!

Kerryann1 · 20/10/2020 17:53

I've always wanted 4 and proberly always will.
My first two were quick easy labours and my 3rd was emergency c section, at first it kinda put me off having more but now it's a few weeks down the line, I have that feeling I just want 1 more Grin

Well... at some point, we have to stop. Maybe you'll stop at 3, maybe not. Time will let you know. Congratulations. Flowers

Wait and see what happens, you may even change your mind yourself.

I had my second last year and when he was a month old/2 months old I was so sure I would have 4 kids, that we designed a house with 5 bedrooms so that the 4 kids could have one each... dp only wanted 4 beds but I pushed for the 5th as I was adamant we would need it.

A couple of months later I absolutely 100% changed my mind, and a year later can still say no more than the two we already have.
