How to know when you're done

Is anybody 100% sure they're done with kids? Like did you have a feeling? I am nearly 4 weeks pp from my son, I was in and out of hospital every week with him and it wasn't the best pregnancy, I have a daughter too who is 3 years old, I really thought one of each would be enough for me to say I'm done but I don't think I am, my heart physically aches thinking of not growing another baby, in my heart I just know I'm not done yet, will it pass? Has anybody else felt like this and changed their mind? I know my hormones are still over the place but it upsets me almost daily at the moment thinking about stopping here 🥺 How do you know when you're done?

I wouldn't think about it just nowi had my first 11 years ago when I was 25 and my 2nd just before I was 30 and I always said I wanna be done before I'm 30 and I'm now 36 and have a newborn so even if you say it you could always change your mind again

I am done I have a 19 month old and a newborn both girls & im 32 I know im done 100% , gender disappointment is a thing & id be gutted if i had another girl but at the same time im also not bothered about never having a boy. My family feels complete

I mean if you have doubt, you might not be done but I would try to don't think about it for now as it is still early on anyway to plan another. Also see with your partner what they think. For me I'm done for sure, I also knew that when I was pregnant. I have one of each, the last pregnancy was terrible, the first month after birth was tough ....my husband also agree. Even if I'm so in love with my baby, I'm just enjoying more each day as I know I won't have another for sure.

I am done. I’ve had two hyperemesis pregnancies and I can never do it again. It was incredibly hard to be a parent while I had it so second time was the worst. I can’t do it to my children again. I am sad knowing that I’ll never experience these things again but I’m just enjoying being with my children now and feeling v lucky to have them.

I was unsure before, I had a very easy pregnancy and was then blown away by how painful my unmedicated birth was and how horrible recovery with an episiotomy has been. I’m one & done for sure! I think it’s probably too early for you to know, your hormones will be telling you all sorts right now and you don’t need to decide right now either.
