35 weeks and DP just announced 'no more children, ever'

[ShakenSally]

Sorry. Posted in relationships but not had much traffic so posting in AIBU.

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and DH thought it a good time to announce that he doesn't want any more children after this one (I want more than one). He already has a 9 year old DD.

I'm torn. Trying to look forward to the birth of our baby but now feeling deeply saddened that if I want another I would have to leave DP in the future. I don't think he is going to change his mind.

He always said he wanted two more, he's now changed his mind and only wants this one. Fair enough, we are all allowed to change our minds, but how do I cope with this?

Really finding it hard to come to terms with and feel like it was a cruel/pointless time to tell me.

How would you deal with this internally? AIBU to even be giving this head space right now?

Just focus on your new baby and not worrying about the next one. You have no idea what may happen so you are right to not let his statement mar what will be a beautiful experience having your first baby

You've obviously not been here long Geraldine if you think a man would get different answers (although obviously he wouldn't be in the middle of a pregnancy when he posted). There are lots of threads with a similar dilemma from both sides. The advice has been the same for men and women.
