I want another baby...No I don’t!!

For my first two pregnancies, I just knew I was desperate to be pregnant and was so sure I wanted a baby. My husband and i do want a third but he isn’t ready yet and wants to wait. This time, I go from being absolutely desperate to have a baby NOW, to absolutely no way in hell am I ready for another! I’m not sure if it’s the onslaught of pregnancy announcements or lots of cute birth announcements is influencing how i feel, but it’s so strange I am switching from one extreme to the other in a matter of seconds. Truth be told, I was so desperate to get pregnant the last two times that they weren’t exactly thought through and I did struggle with the reality. I want to be fully prepared this time. I think it’s best to wait a while and I’m only 28, but then I have this part of me thinking no, what if I can’t get pregnant, what if I have miscarriages, I need to try now just in case!! Had anyone else ever felt this conflicted about another child before or am I just BU and possibly hormonal?

I felt exactly the same about number three! But she’s lying here next to me right now so I definitely got there eventually. How old is your youngest? At 28 Id be inclined to give it a year or two if unsure...
