A week ago, there was no way on this earth i wanted another baby, ever! I have a 5 year old and a 3 year old from my previous marriage and my 5 year old son has aspergers. My partner has 2 also, 8 and 5, we had them 6 nights a week until last Tuesday when the judge decided to let their ex drug addict, gambling, benefit frauding, drinking mum 'have a go' at being their mum.
With all 4 kids about so much, i put the idea right out of head, it was too selfish and i knew it would be really really hard if not impossible and split us up.
He is the love of my life, i was abused for 8 years before and my new partner is so sweet and loving and caring and considerate and treats me as more than an equal and he desperately wants a baby together.
Now we only have his 2 5 nights out of 14 and mine 4 nights out of 7, is it possible? I have done a complete 180 and i would get pregnant tomorrow if i could! I'm just terrified of regretting it or that we are being selfish!?

Seize the moment! Your partner sounds lovely. And lucky child to grow up with siblings and loving parents.

simplysarah you need to hear from a poster called MrsJammi imo.
She mostly hangs out in the step parenting forum.
