Wanting a third child but husbands not keen...

Hello,

I just wanted to get someone's opinion on our situation. Background: married, 2 children both girls 7 and 2 in December. I have a good job in the NHS part time, husband is working and at uni (qualifies next year as social worker) so should have a normal/good salary next year. Now, our second daughter has been stressful, she's so full on, she hated her car seat for months and used to scream every time she went in it, she hated her pram (sling carried everywhere) didn't like many people except me, my husband and other daughter but now is getting better. So I think My husband is still feeling like it is too much to do it all again, the stress/fear of something happening to her when she's little but I think I want another one? I am one of three and I loved my childhood, I think the girls would love another sibling to play with, they get along great together and it makes me feel sad to think I'll never have another pregnancy/baby/child. I don't care what sex it would be, I think my husband is worried we would have another high needs baby like our last. I don't want another big gap either. it's sort of either next year or never. I don't know if I should be trying to convince him or just being grateful we have two beautiful happy girls? If you managed to read all of this well done 😂

Awww I feel for you, the best thing you can do is talk about how you feel, if it's stress that puts him off remind him the positives outweigh the negatives and they don't stay little for long (unfortunately, you just want to bottle it all up) you'll get there I'm sure if you truly want it.
