How do you know when you are 'done' having babies?

[peainthepod]

Well, my 3rd dd is only 10 weeks old. Thats 3 babies in 3 years and I'm still not sure thats it. Was so sure this time I'd "feel my family was complete"

I'm turing into one of those women thats addicted to pregnancy . I actually really enjoy giving birth too.

Someone help me....I'm far too scared to discuss this with DH -I promised this was it

well 3 in 3 years .. not surprised .. you haven't got to the stage where you recover a little freedom .. wait until youngest is 3 or 4 then decide if you want more ... you may decide you don't want to go back to the baby stage .. surprising though it seems

I also discovered that DH saying No to more children made me intensely broody for what I couldn't have .. but as soon as he changed his mind .. so did I

you find weanign shittily irriating
eat the farkin carrot

pinthep. I was going to post something like this yesterday! I had 4 in 5 years and no.4 was a surprise really.

I'd love another. DH thinks I'm mad. He's right of course . I am permantly knackered. DS4 has sn and is still like an 8 month old at 16 months.

I loved being pg, giving birth and new born babies are just so lovely.
Am hoping something will click in my brain soon and say STOP

snurk

oh and you can't be arsed with potty training .. if they wanna stay in nappies .. good .. let 'em

adn you are too bored of playgroups
a dn buggys and all that crap

when you get sick of wiping snot and shite

and need something more

Cod have you stumbled on to the wrong thead

no
thjst how you know

you recognise PFB syndrome in all first time mothers and rather than feeling empathetic you want to grab them by the shoulders and shake 'em .. hard

Sorry Cod. Have re read it. It does make sense

pfb?

Precious First Born Syndrome

god yes
adn they talk nappies

I just know, can't explain it really. I have 2dd's who are both wonderful and I've enjoyed evry minute with them, well almost every minute
But I know that I don't want anymore and that's that, fortunately me and dh both agree on no more so perhaps thats why....
or not,........oh I don't know [confused emoticon]

a reflection on the parental attitude .. not on the preciousness of the baby but the preciousness of the parent

" er reality check here..... are we REALLY talking SHIT"

arf

I get broody every month

and then realise that sometimes I do not actually like the children I have got (love them obv) and that they get on my nerves and I had better not have any more

when you go and drop off youngest child in school

and there classmates are children of your kids friends

i have 2 dc and when they both start screamimg at the same time!!!! dont want to go through it again

Just knew that one was missing til I had Ds3,can't explain it but I knew.

I feel someone is missing from our family too.

Wish I could just be happy with our 2 DDs wonder if the feeling ever truly goes.

Dh and I are having the "snip or not to snip" debate (dses are 2 and 1) and whilst I'm pretty damn sure I don't want anymore I'm not 100% convinced. Do you ever get to that 100%?

I can categorically state that I am 100% sure.

god i already can't be arsed with weaning and nappytalk and playgroup, and i'm 7 months pregnant

oops
