I have 3 girls who are all 20 months apart. I got pregnant with the next one when the one before was around a year old. My youngest right now is 6 months. And I've sworn up and down that I'm going to wait at least 2-3 years this time before having another. Yes, I want 2 more kids. But now I'm already starting to think about the next one. What can I do to make sure I stick to my plans? I think I'm just so used to always being pregnant or having a baby that that's what has become normal and routine for me. And I keep thinking, why stop now while I'm in "baby mode."

I admire your love of children, even your desire for more, but surely you can be content with three for the moment. Are you financially secure enough to start thinking of a new baby? Are you saving for your three children now to attend college? How does your husband feel about adding to your beautiful family? Sounds like you were born to be a mother, and I do consider it a high calling, but it appears you have your hands full with the three you have now. Put your focus on them, in teaching them and training them to be all they can be. Get involved with all they do. Volunteer. Play with them in the floor. Do art projects. Bake cookies. Make memories. There will be plenty of time to have the other two children, and the present three will be old enough and so loved and secure, they will be good helpers. Do something for yourself, too. Take a class. Learn to basket weave or paint with water colors, whatever you enjoy. Use your talents and I suspect you will become so personally fulfilled you won't have to focus on always being pregnant, When the time is right, it will be a blessing and you will be an even more mature, better mother for it.

Think about why you want to wait two more years. Your youngest will be potty trained (or getting there) and you'll have fewere diapers. When they start to go to college, you'll have kids at home longer. Your kids will be able to help you with the baby more. Talk to your husband about waiting and have him help you through it. It will get easier as the time passes and you'll be busy with your three children.

Well what are your plans? Sounds like you plan to have more kids. The real question that will help you stay on track and figure out what you want to do is are you financially capable of supporting your three kids and more?

properly, your first mistake replaced into telling him. besides, he does have a correct. it truly is so egocentric of you to attempt to keep him faraway from the newborn. you at the on the spot are not hurting you, yet somewhat you're hurting the newborn. If he's a baby pervert of something, then extra means to you, yet when he merely must be a sturdy father, then strengthen up. did you know what percentage children strengthen up with out fathers. it truly is depressing for them. you ought to have concept about the longer time period before you had sex.

I agree with the person who said birth control and condoms, although neither are 100% effective. who cares when you have your kids? if you want them now, have them! if you don't, be patient for awhile and get your husband to help you stick to your plans. i tried to help you as much as i could!
Good Luck with your three little blessings and many more to come! :-)

Perhaps thinking about the additional cost will discourage another quick pregnancy
