Desperately wanting baby #3

6 replies

hey all. I’ve just turned 34 have two boys already ages 10 and nearly 8. I’ve been wanting another baby for 6.5 years now ( when my second was one I was asking for another ) and all I get is not yet. How do you shift this feeling and longing for a 3rd!? I can’t force him or keep asking as that isn’t fair but the thought of another baby is all I think about? It’s so hard to let go of this feeling. Anyone felt the same or gone through the same and your partner has eventually said yes?

I had the same feeling and couldn’t shift it so I had another one - it was totally worth it but very hard to convince dh.

I can’t shift it at all. I have a friend and a niece both currently pregnant and I’m so so happy for them but can’t help this jealousy feeling. Why do men get to choose? Haha. Hmm maybe one day he’ll just be like sick if you asking now let’s do it haha xx thank you for replying

I don’t think men get to choose but I do think the one saying no ultimately decides because you can’t force a baby on someone id have a lot more kids if you could!
