Well, I have been trying my utmost not to nag about having another baby but I'm sure Spencer is psychic, he knows exactly when to say "No babe, no more babies", *sigh* And if anything I'm even MORE clucky than when I started this thread! Arrrggghhh and this is coming from a flu victim with two kids with snotty noses, coughs, temperatures, the works, AND also babysitting another kid who has the same thing. So here I am with three grumpy sick kids & I'm still clucking away.

We diecided after No two that we were definately never having antoher baby and gave all of his stuff away as he grew out of it. But I always knew deep down that I wanted another one. Hubby was adamant that two was it and we were'nt having anymore.

So a gentle push here and lots of clucky nagging there and I finally managed to convince him to try for another one. Which resulted in Abby. He was really woried that if I had another one I would just keep on going and going.

It's weird now because Abby is 20 months and I have heaps of friends who have babies and I can honestly say I don't feel the least bit clucky the yearn has gone, they are very cute and cuddly and i love holding them but I so don't want another one.

My hubby is a very very stubborn man so you never know with a bit of time to digest the fact that you want another one your man may still come around. As I found out after Jayden your body clock is a powerful thing and wants what it wants, so maybe keep mentioning it every now and then and he might come around.]]> Mon, 13 Nov 2006 06:54:34 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85888&title=i-swore-black-blue#85888 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85881&title=i-swore-black-blue#85881 Author: mum2paris

I definately felt that way Emma.. especially when Ayja got to about 13 months and i thought "this time with PAris i had just found out i was preg with Ayja".. and then lol they now bring out those double bacon bbq burgers at mcdonalds.. which they brought out both times when i was about 4 months preggy, just pushing past the morning sickness stage.. they've just brought them back i that was enough to trigger the "I should be pregnant and craving these right now" feelings. I had one the other day, and it did nothing for me.. ewww, was gross. Another thing that really got me.. i felt really strongly the need to have another at the beginning of this year/end of last year.. when all the other ladies who had bubs at the same time i had Ayja.. were finding out they were having another, be it their 2nd or their 3rd.. and heaps of others were having their babies, or finding out they were preg.. so much som i really felt down when AF arrived for a few months.

i think i never made that conscious decision to have the last baby, but as Ayja got older i guess it was just the understanding that this was it, the last time i would have a bubba, the last time i would bf her, all that soppy stuff.    

After what i went through with PAris, and Mike went through with Ayja.. we both have a stonger bond with one of the kids, and i guess there's also the feeling of where on earth would a 3rd one fit.. Paris has Mike, Ayja has me,.. would it even be fair on a 3rd one with no guarantees that it wouldn't happen again. Plus the pressure of working full time for both and raising the girls, i already feel like i owe them a heck of alot more time and patience then i ever give them anymore.

I love the idea of babies, i love being preg, i love the love that you get from them and the love you (nearly always.. but not necessarily in some cases)feel for them instantly and every time you pick them up.. that warm fuzzy. but my head says no.. mike wouldn't cope and i wouldn't cope with him not coping.. if that makes sense. Still, as i said, if one did pop up unexpectedly we would be ok... but that's not the way to live holding out hope that it would fail... and there's no way i could say now, that if it did happen in 5 years time, that i wouldn't feel ick then.. cos who knows where we will be.

So Racheal.. no real advice on pushing though it.. i don't actually think you ever do, you just burry it, you can't fight hormones. You just kinda get some resolve that well, when times are tough i always think, sheesh i'm glad that i don't have more or i'd go insane.. i can truely see now why my mum was the way she was.. if us 6 kids were anything like paris has been at time this week.. no wonder she was slightly batty and more than a little grumpy by the time my sisters were teens and i was 6 and she had another baby.. I don't want to turn into that.. i want to be a happy mum, so for us, that means enjoying our girls and hoping they give us a few grandkids to cluck over.. although not too soon i hope.

Emma, I think that's the main problem!

My Mum said the hardest time for her was when my youngest brother was abot 18 mths, which is around the time they would have started trying for another baby but she had been told she couldn't have any more for medical reasons.

I actually don't know if I could make the conscious choice to have a "last" baby, I would be too cut up about it. I hate being pregnant with a passion (throwing up every day does that to me ) and when I am actually pregnant I swear I'll never put myself thru it again, but then I have awesome births (OK so labour #1 sucked, but birth #1 and labour and birth #2 were brilliant)and see my gorgeous bubs and I forget how icky it was... ]]> Sun, 12 Nov 2006 21:54:33 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85867&title=i-swore-black-blue#85867 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85830&title=i-swore-black-blue#85830 Author: Guests

I'm not asking you to give away why you aren't able to have another, but it makes it hard to give advice... although say if it were financial reasons, maybe try reminding yourself that your family is well provided for atm with three girls, and you wouldn't *actually* want the extra stress of a fourth to spend / account for.

lol, i cluck all day, looking after the wee babes i sometimes think aww, how could i not want to have naother, how could mike not want another. But it's set.. unless the vasectomy fails - in which case i wouldn't be devastated, but i think mike would not be a happy man.

I now think that yes, it's quite common to go through that wanting more, and very often, especially when everyone you know is having more, conceiving, babys are arriving.. which is what this site is all about.. you can't escape that, lol. I think some part of that when you think about it is the grieving process that you go through when you realise that no, it's not a good idea, or you can't have more, it's too expensive, you couldn't handle it or DH doesn't want more or whatever reason. It just doesn't seem fair.

Lots of people ask us if we are having any more, and it seems they are all asking now since mikes actually had the vasectomy.. and i have to say "no, mike's had the chop, so it's only 2 for us" and most of me accepts that, but somewhere is still the voice saying "3 would be good" I somehow always keep thinking about a little boy out there for us, lol.

i talked to my older sis who went through the same thing at 35 when she decided that no, it really was the last chance that she'd think about it, and no, it was definately no more. I also talked to a work collegue about the same who told me that even at 40, when she had just remarried, she wondered if maybe another one would be nice even though her kids were grown and long gone.

good luck ladies.

yeah i all but had hubby booked in for the snip and he wasnt keen.... now Im just keeping quiet about it till I see how I feel when Addison is a bit older and hope he doesnt bring it up again. My other problem though is the whole gestational diabetes, apparently it gets worse each pregnancy and so i know i would be on insulin for most of the time. I would definatley have to lose some weight before getting pregnant, not going through all that again.

Thanks busymum. At the moment I have a pretty busy life. I'm milking cows in the mornings, doing the playcentre thing, plus studying for my Agribusiness diploma & I'm babysitting another toddler every afternoon 6 days a week so I don't know if I could fit in anymore at playcentre and I have found it really hard with seeing so many kids & new babies. I desperately want another, my man has said no & when I asked he said he just feels that our family is happy & whole with just the two.
The timing isn't right anyway plus I would really like to get married at some stage. I didn't want to get married while pregnant but I'm even thinking that now I wouldn't really mind that too much LOL!

So what do I do? I don't want to be a nag & my man seems to think that I will get over it but the thought of having no more upsets me to the point that I bawl my eyes out ]]> Sat, 11 Nov 2006 19:43:52 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85659&title=i-swore-black-blue#85659 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85652&title=i-swore-black-blue#85652 Author: mum2emj

As stressed out as I have been with 2 sick kiddies this week and preg with #3, I still want more too... fortunately for me DH is happy to have a few more. Now if only my energy level would stay on par with my desire for more...

I was wondering if helping out at a playcentre or something like that (probably where your own kids go?) might help keep you busy and "nurturing" other little kiddies... but then after thinking about that a bit I guess it might be more frustrating

The only other thing I can think of is asking DH why no? Is he worried about finances or time pressure or wants you to go back to work.... if they are things that can be worked through, you may be able to have another one after all.

I don't think most women keep on wanting more children after 5, 6, 7... lol... I know a couple of women with that many who "just knew" when they had had enough. And Toni, I'm almost 24 and the eldest of 10 kids so I know how you feel. DH tried to tell me (when we were newly marrieds) that 4 is a "big" family - I couldn't believe it!!!

Hormones are amazing things. We'd pretty much decided that 2 was enough but right after the birth of #2 I just had these amazing urges to do it all again..not straight away but in a year or so's time. DH is NO and I am 50/50 but I find this debate a hard one to resolve if we can't agree.   ]]> Sat, 11 Nov 2006 19:26:42 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85645&title=i-swore-black-blue#85645 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85634&title=i-swore-black-blue#85634 Author: mum2emj

haha! i had emma (my second) when i was 22 and i also said that i wasnt having anymore, hehe ive just turned 25 and have had another
22 is still really young... yip, you have definatly got a few years left to have another 5 or so hehe.
your man might change his mind? i had the opposite, my hubby wanted more when i didnt. he loves kids. i think if we could he would want to have a few more yet.]]> Sat, 11 Nov 2006 19:06:03 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85634&title=i-swore-black-blue#85634 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=4422&PID=85633&title=i-swore-black-blue#85633 Author: meow

I think you may be right.

Oh it probably doesn't help me that both of my boys have been super Angels that sleep & have few problems....My mum thinks it's highly unfair! I almost don't want to jinx it for myself but I don't fel like our family is anywhere near complete! I had a dream that I had 4 boys & then twin girls & it just felt so right. Eeeek!
