I had a tl almost five years ago after our third child was born. I thought I was done wanting more children, but now I really want another one. My husband says he doesn't want anymore and wants to focus on raising our other three since they are finally all in school. I don't want to make him change his mind but I want to express to him just how much I want another baby. He is a great husband and a wonderful father and I just want him to know how much I want to have another baby with him. My children also want another sibling-especially my only son. How should I start the conversation with my husband and what should I say to him?

I would just sit down and have a heart to heart, but remember you both are in this together and if he really really really does not want anymore, you really need to take that into consideration... you have 3 children and if you dont have more, you are already 3 times blessed!!!

Start gently and kind of ease in to it. Remind him of a funny story of when one of your kids was a baby......or tell him a story about a co-worker or friend's baby. Ask him if he ever thinks about when the kids were babies and tell him honestly that you have been missing that and thinking about what it would be like to have another one.
you do not have to tell him flat out that you have baby-fever.......but tell him how you are thinking/feeling and you should be able to get an idea what is going through his head.......if he is interested in another baby also, then you can start from there.

Have you given any thought to
the financial burden this puts
your family under. Three kids
to feed and raise and have
to put through college seems
like plenty to me. It's not like
your getting a pet.

Honey, just tell him! Make sure you explain how you are feeling, and how much it means to you. (Wearing a sexy nighty won't hurt either! LOL) Let him know that his opinions mean a lot to you also, and that you would like make this work with his full approval. Good luck to you...hopefully you will be asking about what it feels like to be pregnant with your fouth child soon!

Tell him honestly how you feel, and allow him to tell you how he feels...Listen to each other and make a list of the pros and cons of having another child.

You just tell him honestly how you feel. You have to respect his feelings on the topic too.
Good luck.

you are already blessed with 3 children. i don't blame him not wanting anymore. time to stop having more, raise your 3 so you and hubby can spend more time together.
