'im not sure I want another baby' - does not sure translate to a definite no?

[InRainbows]

These were the words of my husband, we agreed that we would leave the decision until our son starts school (2 years time) do you think his opinion will change or should I accept that we won't be having another? Im trying to focus on the latter but the glimmer of hope is all I can think about!

That sounds like he’s hoping you will change your mind. Did you talk about children before you were married?

We did, he's always seemed a bit on the fence but leaning towards a no. I said originally I didn't want an only child and he said let's just see how we feel after the first one. We had a bit of a scare the other day and I had to take a test, he seemed almost a bit excited - he was teasing me about being nervous to take it.

Anything other than an enthusiastic yes is an automatic no, in my experience. You can't compromise on a baby. I'd plan for no more if i were you.

Thanks for the replies even though I realise I posted this to the wrong thread!

Since thinking about it last night I agree that I should start thinking along the lines of no more children and I think I feel better about it already just for shifting my mind away from uncertainty and towards acceptance that we are a family of three.
