Last baby

This is for the moms who have had your last baby- how are you coping with it?! DH and I have decided no more kids - we really can`t afford it, as much as we`d love another, and we`re lucky to have 2 healthy kids, a boy and a girl, but it`s making me so sad!! Logan just started fitting into 3-6month clothes, and I almost started crying putting away the newborn stuff... Logically I know it`s the right decision, but my heart is sad :( I`m secretly hoping to get accidently preggo again, even though I know it would be tough... Advice or support is appreciated ;-)

My son is about 11 months old and I know now that I am done. So don't do anything permanent yet, just wait a while and see. This problem doesn't have to be solved right now- time will tell. But I know the feeling!

preggyvegan17 - 987 days ago You ladies rock- you're right, never say never, and whenever I am done having kids, I'll be a little sad no matter what. (maybe that's why that lady keeps having kids on 18 and counting or whatever that show is lol) I'm going to enjoy every minute of my kids and try not to get too bummed about probably not having anymore. Thanks for the support!!!

hannahe - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) i know exactly what you mean. my hubby and i decided this would be our last we have a boy and a girl and this will be number 3 but im only 13 weeks along and i already am sad about not having any more, and just last week he told me that he might want another...

Gigantor - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I think I am ok with this being my last pregnancy. But I understand where you are coming from, also. It is sad, because you know it's the end of something you are not ready to let go. Maybe your circumstances will change one day and you can have more.

RobinG - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) My advice is never say never ~ things change, times change, needs and wants change. Face it with the attitude the "for now" we are done. DH and I almost got divorced 6 years ago and I was SURE I was done!! We moved, he straightened out and started helping out around the house and we are happier then ever. I turned 39 and we decided it was time :) I had another at 40. My kids are 13.5, 9 and 19 months old and it is PERFECT!!! I LOVE having a little one around with my older two and they love it too :) So until you are beyond the years of giving birth safely never say never, just opt not to have more for now and wait and see what the future olds. You may find you are happy with two or you may find that things are better and you DO want one after all :) (())

katanddan - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I believe never say never,your financial situation may well improve in the future . Maybe it is not the right time at the moment ,but maybe in the a few years. We have two girls and would love a wee boy. As long as you feel that way i would not make any permanent decisions ie vasectomy etc . You have to be 110% sure that when you say no more that is it . Whatever you decide do it for the right reasons .Take care ,good luck whatever you decide

mamalvs4 - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) We are currently pregnant with what will be our last child. so my newborn isnt even here yet. and i already feel sad about never experiencing being pregnant and having a newborn again. but then i remember how much time i will have to devote to my children, and the extra things they will have because our funds wont be streched even further than they are. then i enjoy babysitting my friends and failies little ones and go home to my kids

rosye13 - 987 days ago Rating: 0 (0 votes) I am pregnant with our second child and my husband and I have talked about the possibility of this being our last. I am in the same position as you. We both agree that with just two we would be better off financially and able to do more for them. At the same time I have already thought about how hard it will be to not get to have more babies. We have decided not to make a 100% decision until this baby is one. Meanwhile, I am trying really hard to enjoy every bit of this pregnancy in case it's my last. I completely understand how you are feeling as far as hoping to accidentally get pregnant. But I'm not sure that you (or I) will feel any different after a third child. I think that it will always be a little bit of a mourning process once you decide to never have another baby.
