sorry if this is the wrong fourm to ask.

we has 2 children together aged almost 4 and 8 months.
for some reason i really want to experience pregnancy and child birth 1 more time.

i am 24, and my oh is 30...and he said he don't want to be an older dad especially since he has hit 30 he is 110% sure he doesn't want no more he has even said he want to have the snip.

Oh bless him. He won't be an older dad. My other half was 56 when ds was born (bit of a surprise I admit) and he's taken it completely in his stride.

But two in four years is quite a lot to deal with financially and impacts on your life together. Maybe he wants more time with you as his fun-loving girlfriend rather than as the mother of his kids. With an eight month old he's probably pretty tired too.

I'd leave it for a while. You're only 24 so no medical hurry and your hormones are probably all over the place at the mo. I bet he comes round in a year or two.

You probably won't stop the broodiness. Believe me I have tried to stop mine but it just ended up with me getting really upset every few months.
It took about 8 years for my DH to change his mind, and I think he has only agreed to a second child now because he feels sorry for me lol.
He may change his mind once the baby stage has ended with you DC2.....Fingers crossed for you!!
