to not know how i feel

[mumof2children]

my partner has just had the snip, but i feel gutted.

i think it is finally sunk in we will not have anymore kids, i don't want anymore children.

but there is a part of me that think what if we waited a few more years.

YANBU. How old are your kids?

IMHO, you never realise you want something until it's taken away. We have two DS and it is more than enough but a part of me would be sad if I knew we definitely couldn't have any more :(

I felt exactly the same when I was sterilised when dd2 was 8 weeks old she was a surprise, as we had 2 which was all we wanted it's only natural to feel the way you do.

I''m pregnant with number 2 (dp's 3rd) and I'd love to have one more after this one in a few years time maybe.

Dp is adamant he doesn't want anymore and is going for the snip after this one is born. I feel extremely sad just thinking about it.

I'm hoping I can get him to hold off having the snip in exchange for me getting the implant so we can re-visit the idea in 3 yrs when the implant is due to be removed.

If he's still adamant he doesn't want anymore then, then I'll have no choice but to let him have the snip.

I'll feel like you in that case but at least I'll have 2 wonderful ds's and a wonderful dss.
