The third child debate

4 replies

Currently pregnant with dc2 so I am well aware my own feelings may change. DH and I previously agreed on hopefully having three children although he would always have been happy with two. Following a mc and difficult early pg this time he has decided he's not doing it again, I'm heartbroken and don't know how to move forward when I feel I'll always regret not having more. As I say I know I'm currently hormonal which won't help but has anyone been there?

Just park it until DC2 is at least 18 months. Otherwise you'll drive yourself mad going over it and it's not like you can do anything right now if you decide you do want a third!

We went through a very similar situation, miscarriage and then tough first trimester and I wasn’t sure either of us wanted another after the pregnancy was over and out second was born, but he's only three months old now and we are talking about when we might have number 3! So as PP said, put it to
bed for now, he may change his mind

I think respect his wishes and learn to be happy with 2.

I agree to park this situation for now.
