Anybody out there on the fence about having another baby?

Question

I am, for sure. I see all these pregnant women all over town, and sometimes I want another one. Our financial situation is great, I have 3&4 year old daughters. I loved both of my pregnancies, and would love to be that way again, but..... I was just wondering if anyone else felt torn about this too.

Thank you poetess, I see where you are coming from. I want the freedom too, and have thought about that. Not that they would be far apart in age, but still. You know? If your hubby wants another, then may I suggest foster care? Good luck to you as well.

Answer 1

*YES* I am on the fence... my girls ar 5 and 4... I want a son and I haven't done anything about BC and my husband is due home *very* soon! But, at the same time... I'm just beginning to have a*life* again...Some freedom to explore, maybe go to college if all the paperwork comes through in time... *sigh* I know I want more eventually, but... I'm 31 now, and I'm afraid if I keep putting it off I'll wait too long... Ack! I know how you feel!

(Oh, and my husband say yes he wants more, but the timing is my choice, he will just leave the BC to me...)

Answer 2

I have 3 sons, 18, 16, and 11 yrs old. I married a man 15 years my senior, he is great. But he always says how thrilled he would be if we found out I was pregnant. He has one son who is 31 yrs old, that he did not raise. I am tired of the constraints of parenthood and I really don't want another child, but when I look in my husbands eyes and see how happy it would make him, I feel bad for not wanting to have one to please him. He has been taking good care of my sons and I know he would make a great dad to ours. But I just don't want to be tied down another 18 years. I want to live my life and be free to travel w/my hubby when the 10 yr old turns 18. I am so torn. What would you do? So, you see, I kinda know where you are coming from. Good Luck to you.
