Not wanting a 3rd child

We have 2 children boy 5 girl 3

Son was born by emergency C-section under GA after been induced so was a very traumatic experience and he was born none responsive.

Id hoped for a VBAC with our 2nd but had an elective CS at 41 weeks as they didn’t want me to go over any further. I found the section more traumatic then expected and don’t wish to go through that again and I am content with having 2 children.

Husband is from a big family and always wished for a big family, we are in a position where we could afford to have another and have the space but I just don’t want anymore, am I wrong to feel this way?

Has anyone been in a similar position? What was the final outcome?

Your husband posted a thread from his ‘side’ earlier today and had it deleted.
Make sure you’re using contraception (the other thread said none was being used). Two kids is plenty. Enjoy life.

You are absolutely not wrong to feel this way. Your body, your trauma, your choice.

I'm worried that your husband is pressuring you to have more children when you've had two traumatic births. That is not loving.
