I know that this has been covered many times before as I have watched the threads but I am becoming obssessed about having a third child.
I already have one DD and one DS (aged 4 and 18 months) However I do not feel that my child bearing is complete.
I never felt like this after the birth of DC1 and actually considered not having any more children. We tried for DC two and this time around I have really enjoyed looking after a baby and watching them change and grow. My DD is also absolutely gorgeous too and I have enjoyed her development as well. I was suprised at how much easier it was this time round, I wonder in hindsight if I had PND after the birth of my DD.
I feel sad that this is it. As I am 37 there are not many years to debate it. But when I talk to DH he says NO, he most definitely does not want any more children. He says he already feels tired all the time and does not think we cope with the two we have! This is his perception not reality.
I am a SAHM and DD starts school in Sept so things will be less hectic at home.
I feel that DH and I are at deadlock over this as he says no and there is no room for negotiation. I am being driven barmy by babies and pregnancies everywhere too........
Any helpful advice would be grateful. I just don't want to look back on my life in my 40s and regret this decision.
