I think this is a very real issue for lots of people. For me, if a number of things had been different, I would have loved to have more children, but I have become comfortable with our decision not to. Wait twelve months; one of you may feel differently then.

  Thankyou. I think so too. We need time to rebuild and just love one another.

While i do understand where he is coming from as a female i understand you more,! Have you had that conversation i just want one more kids to feel our family of two from yours, one from mine, and two from ours would complete me as a mum, I dont feel your family is complete till you feel that way. My hubby and i had a conversation before we had kids we wanted four kids! we have a angel and three lovely kids…. It took me a few years to decide the three we have is enough. truefully our marriage could not of handled another bubs.. Three in our household were enough.. Mainly due to two of the kids we have having medical issue.. Other than that i am sure we would of tried again before i turned 40 but i am over that now so that dream has closed…

  We had a conversation early in our relationship but obviously had not made our desires completely clear to each other. We have agreed at this point in time to let it settle and I am trying to allow myself to grieve but not let it rule my life. I don’t want it to rob me of enjoying my relationship with my daughter and a pretty darn good husband. There are certainly things that we as a couple & as a family need to work on before the possibility of another child is considered.
  Thankyou for sharing your circumstances. I am glad you are a complete family with the children you have. ♡

It must be very difficult on you. This is a choice that you make as a couple and if your husband doesn’t want, it’s quite tricky. How old are you? Could it be that maybe in a couple of years your husband will change his mind if he sees how important this is for you? Don’t take rush decisions.

  I am 33 and he is 45. He has a nearly 14 year old, an 11 and half year old and I have a 9 and a half year old. Our daughter is 11 weeks old.
  I can understand his concerns and I certainly wouldn’t look to bring another child into our lives straight away. It is tough but with the right support we will work through it.

    Oh! Hi! I didn’t know it was you posting! I think that having such a small girl in your home makes also more “visible” how tiring can be having a small child at home. Wait till your girl is a little older and then try to talk about it again.
