Another baby?

[Ilikecheeseontoast]

I've got 3 young children. All conceived within a pretty short time frame following YEARS of infertility and fertility treatments. I love being a mum but given my children's ages it is really hard work and relentless. However, each month around ovulation time I cannot stop thinking about having another. It's like every month I'm tho king an egg has been wasted and we should have a fourth. My husband wants to stick to 3 (number 3 was a miracle surprise!) and so do I really but what is this feeling each month?? Is it hormones? Conditioned thinking after years of tracking my cycle and timed sex? Or so I actually want another?? Anyone else feel like this?

I can relate to this...you’re not alone!

Hormones. Don't do it!

I have 4, my eldest was 5 and a half when the youngest was born. It's really hard and full on and wouldn't recommend having this many children so close together. I've just gone back to work part time in the evenings for a break 😂. I'm 100% done and my husband has had the snip anyway but I still get that feeling every month, hopefully it will pass soon.

We have 6, youngest is only 12wk and I feel broody already. DH wants another but doctors advised a 2 year gap as I had c-section and scar rupture due to very big baby deciding to come earlier than planned. I was dead set against more straight after birth as I felt terrible for weeks. Now baby is a fab sleeper and I'm back in the gym lifting... I think when it all seems quite easy I crave more. I don't think I'll ever feel "done" if I'm honest.

Oh our others are 15, 10, 9 & 6 (twins)
