To have another baby or not?

Hi everyone I’m 27years old and I have 5 beautiful kids, 7yo boy, 6yo boy, 5yo boy, 3yo boy and 1yo girl.

I’m pretty sure my partner and I are on the same page and we will have one more kid but in a few years time and once we are more financially secure, bigger house etc

There are times however when we both feel we are done and other times we are unsure. How did everyone else know they were done having babies? I feel deep down I am not done.

I would table the discussion for a year or two and then see how I'm feeling.

I’ve heard women say they had a deep feeling of being at peace and “done” with babies. You’re not at an age to hurry for more babies. I’d give it a year or a few and see how you feel then

I am absolutely not there yet for example, as I am frothing at the idea of trying for another but forcing myself to wait a bit- my girl is only 6 months 😂

Chemical pregnancy or too early ?

I did a test last night and straight away the positive line came up. When I tested again this morning it’s negative. My period isn’t due until Tuesday but feeling really crap and pregnant for the last week

If I had sex yesterday (Saturday) n my ovulation date is on Tuesday is it possible I could get pregnant?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

One and done… or not?

32ftm. I’m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I don’t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again 😭 my husband and I are all we’ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

EllaOne

I had a positive ovulation test yesterday and had unprotected sex the night before. I took the EllaOne pill last night. Has anyone had this before? Was it effective if you’d already seen the positive ovulation?
