So after much deliberation about whether to have another husband has said he doesn't want another. Would never push for another we have two perfect little ones and it's not fair to I've another just for me but I'm so sad. Not sure how I deal with not getting to do the baby stage again or add to our family without making my DH feel guilty. I know I'm lucky with what I have already just can't help feeling sad for what I won't have.

You could foster, or work in a nursery if you like being around babies. People born today will have dreadful futures on our fucked planet, so at least you won't be inflicting that on any more people. Two kids is more than enough.

Two kids are not enough and three is too many - so says my DS who has three DC. I would say stick at two because I am the middle one of three and so is DH. We would never every have had three. Enjoy what you have and move on to the next stage in life

Thanks for the support from most of you, it's not just about the baby stage currently my children have no cousins and whilst they may do on one side I don't know and I suppose an element is I worry about my children having family as they get older. I know most of this is probably irrational but I can't quite shift the fear. I guess like many I had a covid baby so feel like I lost the first 4/5 months of doing baby stuff/ seeing people and enjoying my maternity leave, again irrational I know.
