Am I crazy ?

[TTC 84]

So I'm 31, I have 5 gorgeous boys Jaxon being almost 3 months old and honestly I still don't feel done , hubby has always wanted 6 so he's on board for another , we have Jordyn who is 15 Caleb 13 , Tyler 8 and Hayden 6 and now Jaxon am I crazy? and no I'm not wanting to go back for a girl, just genuinely want another no matter the sex . What if I never feel done? does anyone else feel this way ?? X

We only have 2 boys but I'm worried about never feeling done too. There's a 9 month age gap between them. Our youngest is 3 months old and we've already discussed TTC #3.

I only have two at the moment but I don't feel done in any way what so ever! Right now I can't imagine ever been done having children. I love them so much, I have always wanted a big family too X

I would have 10 if it was possible! I don't know about this "feeling done" idea, sounds a bit hokey and mystical to me. I think its normal to want a baby, babies are lovely. The decision to have another has to involve a lot of practical things and a mutual decision between you and your hubby. If you want a 6th and so does your DH go for it! If after that you both want another, and have the space and money for it, do it! Just keep going until one of you doesn't want to any more or you feel like its not a good idea on a practical level.

I have 3 boys and absolutely don't feel done! It's nothing to do with gender either I've just always wanted 4 but I also worry I won't be done if I do have a 4th hubby is adimant he wants no more so im trying to deal with being done at 3

I feel like this. I love my 2 boys and feel awful for saying it but I don't feel done. I just feel like we're missing something, then I think maybe I'll always feel this way regardless of whether we had another or not. My feelings definitely aren't based on wanting a girl either, 3 boys would be amazing as would a little girl.

My DH is set on having 2 though so that's helped make the decision easier!

Yes.....hubby is done but I just dont feel finished. Unfortunately he won't change his mind.....as much as I hated being pregnant would love to do it again

I only have one but I'm definitely not done we started ttc number 2 when DS was 4 months. I'm not sure I will ever feel done but for practical reasons we will stop at number two and possibly adopt another one in a few years. Two now and a third when they are both in full time school is all we can afford so I will have to find a way to be ok with that. If you can afford and manage another one then why not go for it.

I have two girls, I change my mind daily about having another, my heart wants one but there are lots of practical reasons for sticking with 2. I know I love babies and would have 10 if I could but babies turn into children who seem to require more time as they get older and I have to think of my existing family and what impact a baby would have on them, it's a really tough one, if you have the room, money, support around then I don't see why not. Money and support are lacking here so this is why we will probably stop at 2!

 

[SarahBear]

I definitely feel "done" with two, but it's not crazy to have a number that sounds good and to not feel "done" until you get there.

Thanks ladies I think we will wait till the end of year but pretty sure we will have 1 more

 

[Babybump87]

I always said I would like two children my OH has always said three. Now I have two beautiful girls im starting to come around to his way of thinking lol. DD2 is only 7 weeks lol

I love the idea of a big family too but don't think I would cope very well lol.

I'm just thinking if its meant it will be. Id love OH to have a son but he thinks we would have another girl l

Go with your heart and what you think is best for your family. Good luck!. X

Omg jaxon is never nearly 3 months already I remember you having him!

I have three boys and I swore no more now he's here I don't think I'm done really we should stop but I can't say I'll never have another X Mother Nature must make us want more x

 

[winterbabies3]

I'm so glad you wrote this, I looked at dh yesterday and told him, "is it sad I want another one?" We have 3 together and he has 3 from a different marriage and I feel crazy for even saying it. Dh is more then done. He will be 55 when this lil one graduates so I feel bad on that end as well since I would like a life with him since we have always had kids around. We have talked about tying my tubes or him getting the procedure done but I just have a gut feeLing I'll regret it! But honestly I should get my head on stright and be happy w my 3 as financially thats more then enough!

I was pretty set on the idea of this baby being my last until I was half way through my pregnancy. DH started talking about maybe having another and I jumped on it. This one isn’t even here yet and I still don’t feel done. I think we have settled on TTC when this baby is a year old. I’m hoping that after that one I feel done because we honestly cannot afford more than 3 kids.
