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

My husband and I never really discussed how many children we would like. We just knew we wanted some, and hopefully a big family. Our first delivery was a nightmare and I said never again. 2 years and 4 months later we had number 2. We then decided we would like four so number 3 came along 2 months before number 2 was two. That is it for us. I would love to have had the 2 babies I lost, and to a degree feel I have had 5 children, but I also know this is it. Lots and lots of reasons why.

I am absolutely sure, but only became certain after my 3rd one (and my husband left me!!!). Now with new partner, but definitely, definitely do not want any more. ... luckily for me, neither does he.
Love my 3 to bits but youngest just started school and now, the day I do not work, is mine all mine.

pmsl @ 'eat the farkin carrot'! Currently going throught that with dd2. She is my 3rd and final. I think another CS might finish me off apart from anything else!!

Seriously, after ds was born and we had one of each it was lovely and we could have stopped then but I had a constant nagging feeling that there would be one more. I got pg with dd2 by accident but now she's here the nagging feeling has gone and we are complete

I have 5, and lost 2 in m/c. Have never felt done but am past (or almost past) childbearing age. Have as many as you can handle is my view. It's lovely having a large family.

I often asked myself that question when pregnant with ds if I would go on and have more. DS 9 months old I started to wonder, YES I would like to have another dc. DD born 9 months later. No more for me that dd of mine cried and slept for 6 nights only in her first year and still its hit or miss whether she sleeps through. If dd was born first, she would have been either an only child or the gap between my dcs would have been a least 5 years.
