Oh dear... Me and DH agreed on something and I feel like I'm changing my mind

I'll try to keep it short. DH has two DC from previous relationship and I am currently pregnant with my first.

He has always said he only wants one more child. He's been upfront about that since the start and I've always agreed. Being an only child myself I've never really been bothered about babies and having lots of them.

We also took a long time to get here. I ended up having a problem fertility wise and it's been a heartbreaking, emotional, rollercoaster getting to this point now that we have both said if/when it happens we never want to go through all that again.

However, now I'm pregnant and it's getting closer, I'm getting so sad at the thought that this will be it for us. I can see myself already leaning towards wanting to try again in the future even if it's hard again. I feel so upset at the thought of our baby being grown up one day Sad I don't know if that's normal?! He's not even here yet!!!

I know DH is absolutely done though now and I thought I'd be the same.

Do I mention it to him now or do I wait and see if this passes once baby is here?!

Wait to see how you feel when the baby is here.

Your body will change, your relationship will change, your desires will change.

The idea of having a baby is very different to the reality.

Your DC may come along and you may decide you want a dozen more, or you may be begging the doctor to perform sterilisation during your C-section!

Enjoy what's left of your pregnancy and enjoy your new baby.

Thanks I know you're right.

Before this I was so sure I would be perfectly happy with one. Maybe it's just pregnancy hormones running havoc. I am very emotional at the moment!

I'm just sad because even if I did want more after the baby was here, I know DH will never, ever change his mind.

We was happy with 1 for 8 years and never ever saw us changing our mind. Especially my partner he was 100% set.

Infact i dont even really know what happened but we both just had a change of heart out the blue and now have a 2 yr old and a 6 month old.

Now.... we are done! (I fucking hope!!)

Never say never. And you will be up and down changing your mind on maybe one more and never again for the next 5 years!

Enjoy the one you will have for now and see what the future brings. Grin
