Emotional about final baby
Show your support
Yes ma'am. After 3 years of trying for a third, my husband and I said that was it. Being so so grateful for the two I have, I was still so emotional about it. Then I got pregnant again with my third. This definitely is the last one but being 35 and being high-risk pregnancy we're actually done after this one and yet I am still sad about it. I've always wanted a large family and many children. I am just hoping my children give us many grandchildren. 🙏🏼 I miss the infancy and all the little mile markers and the little messes and joy they bring.
I think we've all felt this tbh. I had my 3rd last May, and although I'll miss those lush newborn snuggles and all the "firsts" I'm 40 and most definitely done! I'm tired, my fiance is tired and I just know I can't do it anymore.
I’ll be having my 3rd this May, I’ll be 32 when I give birth and we *think* this will be our last though I think I want to try for a 4th and see if we can have a girl, I’d still be happy with another boy but I think my main reason for wanting a 4th is because I want a girl. We wouldn’t be trying until I’m 34-ish and if I’m not pregnant before I turn 36 then that will be it as I don’t want to get pregnant past that point. I think it’s always going to be difficult when you decide that a pregnancy will be your last because there’s a huge mix of conflicting feelings but I also think that you just *know* when you’re done
Yes, totally know that feeling. For me it’s theoretically easy to close that chapter, since pregnancy was so hard both times (bed bound for months, seriously unwell…). We’re also not the youngest parents. But still, it’s strange to know I won’t be doing this again. And a part of me finds it very difficult. I try to remind myself of our reasons why we won’t do it again and I also try to enjoy what is and look forward to the next stages. There’s a lot to enjoy about two developing kids. But things like getting rid of clothes my baby is growing out of is hard…
