To want another baby

[Mamatoawonderfulboy]

Looking for some perspective.
DH and I always agreed we would only have one child, I was convinced that's what I wanted. It was a tough journey to get our DS, I dont think I could go through that again. However, I'm so so sad that I won't have another baby, it makes me cry just to think that the baby stage is over for me. My DH is not up for another and chances are we couldn't have one anyway, so why do I feel I want one so desperately? Does this feeling go away? It's been about a year I've felt like this.
Anyone felt this way and not had another child? Do you regret it?
I've actually found motherhood ridiculously tough so how I feel makes no sense at all!

it absolutely is not “irrational sadness” OP

at every new stage, we say goodbye to the baby / toddler / child they were and welcome the new one. This is because they change so much, so flipping quickly it is like having several different children over the first few years. It’s completely normal to cry about not having the baby phase again. I cried looking at photos of my son the night before his birthday and my DH just couldn’t understand why. I waited 3 years before deciding to go for it and have another. I was back and forth so much I needed to wait until I was absolutely sure

Although this is a zombie thread, I wonder how the OP is getting on.
