I thought I was done after 2 beautiful boys, given everything away & finally get a small slice of freedom…..BUT
Every time I see a newborn I want to hold them
My SIL just announced a pregnancy & although I am happy for her my 1st feeling was envy.
However my OH doesn’t want another & I think he’d be really annoyed at my suggestion of another. I suffered twice with PND so it’s not been easy.
any advice welcome

If your OH doesn't want another then that's it, unless you want to break up your family to try again with someone else. Babies aren't little for long - when you see a family of three older children or teenagers do you desperately want that?

How bad was the PND? It would hideous coping with that with 2 young kids and a newborn!!

Teenagers are expensive. Can you afford 3 of them?

That’s a good point actually & one I’d not considered. Especially relevant as the answer is no, I could not afford 3 teenagers. Thank you 🙏
