How did you know you were done?

My third baby is currently 4 months old. I have an 8 year old from a previous relationship and 2 girls almost 3 and 4 months with my fiancé. After my 1st I knew for certain I wanted another, there was no question I was going to have another baby. After my second I couldn't say for certain that window was closed. But I didn't want another anytime soon, I accidentally got pregnant last year and now I have my third baby. Now I know for absolute certain this is it for me. I'd be happy for my partner to get the snip. And that's how I know I'm 100% done

We planned to stop at 2 but dc3 came along as a surprise. I can't explain it I just felt done and that my family was complete. He is 3.5 years old now and we both still feel the same

That's great, glad your feeling well and hope the nausea eases off soon.

I have 2. 1 of each and I don't think my pelvic floor would thank me if I had another! Both at school now and I had to work some ridiculous hours to pay for nursery which I wouldn't want to do again. I was knackered. Plus, the night feeds.... Definitely knew I was done at 2

Definitely done with my 2. So many logistical, financial and practical reasons to stop / house and car size etc. Also my second baby is lovely and I of course adore her but she's hard work and doesn't sleep much at night. I know that physically I could just never do this again! Several threads I started in the early hours saying I'm not coping right now. Also we have zero family support and that makes even 'only' 2 a struggle at times.

Having said all that I absolutely adored my pregnancies and am so sad I'll never be pregnant again. Really was a dream come true both times and good births too. Would I be so lucky third time around? It's a risk and there are no guarantees. If it was twins or a child with special needs we genuinely would struggle to cope.

Very happy, content and lucky to have my beautiful 2 children.

I’m currently pregnant with baby number 3 and I know in my heart, this is the last. 3 was always the magic number we had discussed and I feel like this baby completes the family and I’ve no desire for another. I also had 2 straightforward pregnancy’s but I’m suffering with Hyperemesis this time round and I’m finding it extremely tough.. I cannot go through this again! I’m looking forward to meeting my sweet little baby later this year and then put the baby diaries away and look to the future of raising my 3 little humans

Was adamant I was done with number one, turned 40 and DH wanted to try for another, DD1 was 6 at the time, so now we have DD2 and I am 100% done, he'll be getting the snip this year :)
