Not sure what the 'right decision is!

I know this topic is raised a lot but I've gone round and round in circles with it and I just feel like I've lost a bit of perspective.
Basically, I would really love another child (this would be our third) but my DH feels he is done and would happily like to move into the next stage leaving the baby years behind us. However, he's said that the decision is mine because he wants me to be happy and feels I want one a whole lot more than he doesn't want one, if that makes sense. I have been going back and forth with this one, is it as black and white as because he feels done then that is the end of the discussion? Or is it a little greyer as he's told me to make the decision. I can really overthink things due to anxiety so i'd really appreciate another opinion.

We were almost in the same situation as you a year or so ago. My husband wasn’t against another baby but wasnt bothered either way. He was happy for me to just make the decision. We went for it and now have a 5 month old. The pregnancy was tough but our baby is just wonderful and adored by his siblings. No regrets here, good luck with your decision. It is hard work however so I think It’s important for both parents to be “on board” as they will be sharing a lot of the daily grind (especially if all the kids are young). I now want a 4th which I never thought I’d say 🙈 xxxx

Thank you very much for your reply and congratulations on your baby! The feeling is still as at strong as ever, even though they've been fighting all the summer holiday!

my dc3 just turned 6 months old and I love it. it's so much easier this time round. the older ones have each other to play with and are used to sharing me already. they both adore the baby. my dh wasn't fussed about another one but he loves the baby and as supportive as ever.
it is hard work sometimes. but my view was that I wasn't going to regret having another dc but I really thought I would regret not having another one in the future. I did wonder if I'd always feel broody; but I feel done this time. good luck with your decision.

Thank you Mixedup. That's exactly how i feel. I don't want to always regret it. I feel like with a third the broodiness will stop, it's hard to explain but I know that I will just be done.
