Do i want another baby?

Hi everyone,

This seems like the most appropriate place to put this, hopefully it fits okay here!

I'm currently 6 months post-partum, and between me and my husband we have 3 boys. I'm 36 this year so don't feel i have time on my side, but im undecided if I'd like another baby, or whether I'm not ready yo accept that i wont have a little girl and be a mum of 3 boys!

I never have the feeling of i don't want another baby, its always, i think i do, but i dont want to do the baby stage again in case the next one is a terrible sleeper, or be pregnant again, im enjoying having my body back at the moment.

But would i know, i mean would i really know if i didnt want any more childen, or is it a case of, im happy at the moment, then time will just run away with me and it'd naturally be too late to have more children?

I really worried that i would regret not having another baby, which makes me think i actually really do want another one.....

I guess my question is, would i know for sure if i didn't want more kids, and on that basis accept that maybe im not ready to stop having children?

Thanks

Would you be sad if it was another boy? I think that’s an important question. (I also have 3 boys)

It sounds like you want a girl. Hand on heart, imagine being at the 20 week scan for DC4 and the sonographer saying ‘it’s a boy’ - how do you feel?

How on earth would you have the energy to deal with another one on top of 3?
