sent DH for referral for the snip and he came home instead wanting to....

[Yorkiegirl]

..... go for baby #3

aww thats nice! how many men do that!

lol!

sorry YG.... couldn't help myself!!!!!!!!!

bloody hell!

blinkin norah
I am not impressed with our GP
She played devil's advocate. And now he wants another baby.

crikey how do you feel about that?

I had decided that our family was complete. I am happy with my 2 DDs. Life is mostly good, some not so good but mostly good.
How much would a third child change all that?

how do you feel?

I am not sure tbh

pmsl!! Are you up for it Yorkie??

only you and your dh can decide, can you face being preg again, giving birth, sleepless nights etc, if the thought doesnt fill you with horror then go for it.

well dont ask me I have 5

oops xposted!

another baby could be great
but it could be crap also
I have given him some ultimatums that he would have to stick to if we did have another

yes and i have 4, although i often try and remember what life was like when i only had 2!

What, right there on the hall floor?

are you sure he's not stalling, YG? Because he's too afraid to go under the knife (actually, I think they do it with laser thingies nowadays).

I can hear the patter of tiny feet

I had decided 2 was plenty, dp disagreed, he said 4 would be better.

Am now 32 weeks pregnant and pretty worried about coping with 3, but over the moon really.

Dp says that 3 is a good compromise

the thing that really puts me off is that I had placental clots with DD2 and spent 5 weeks in hospital, 4 weeks before and a week after. I didn't know at the time that clots are one of the biggest causes of miscarriage and still birth. And I had 4 clots. What if we did go for number 3 and that happened again but the worst happened? And the m/c in November... what if that happens again?

Can they treat placental clots if they know there's a history?

I don't know jan. I had to have 2 lots of Anti d after bleeds as they don't give it routinely here.

yorkiegirl-i can certainly understand your apprehension.
would it be possible to chat to your gp about the possible implications of another pregnancy?

Sounds like a good compromise with your DH may be that you agree not to make a decision one way or another until you know about the placental clots issue and whether it can be treated successfully? You can ask the GP who kicked this whole thing off to refer you to a specialist -- it's the least she can do

I aksed her after DD2 was born and she was very vague!

Go for it - how exciting!
