do you ever know when its enough

[nads71]

hi I am new to this site and was wondering if any other experienced members may be able to help me - I have just had baby no 4 and thought that I would know that this would be enough ( my head says no more but my heart is already wanting no 5). So my question is do u ever feel that u have had enough or do u have to go with your head and be sensible and practical. Also at 35 and having had 4 caesarians i know that time is limited so tell me what do u think?

I am expecting number 4 and i would love to have more (i am 31) i know though this pregnancy has been really hard and taken its toll so i guess that i am pushing fate to have anymore at this stage.

Doesnt mean to say that down the track i cant try again when the others are older i still have a fair few baby making years left in me yet :) I would have a dozen if it was financially viable etc and i knew that i could cope but guess thats something to consider in a few years time :)

I was determined that my 4th would be my last! Now im not so sure.
I would love 5 or 6 but DH has had a vasectomy so its not going to happen.
I am only 32 but financially 4 is enough for us.:wave:

I could have written this post myself. I have also had 4 c/s, and even though I alsays said I wanted 4 babies, I still do want another one. I have given myself until November to decide. I jsut love babies and children, and want to grow old with a big beautiful noisy family. It is only the babies that you don't have that you will regret. :yes:

I'm sure ive posted something like this on here before but I def feel like that! we are ttc #5 and it will be my 4th csect and ive been told by my surgeon that she reallyyyy thinks it should be my last but I would love more children!!!

Its a tough one isnt it, more tough when you are physically limted because of how you gave birth.

I have had this convo with my mum. I really don't have that magic number, when people say ohhh 3 is enough or 2 I really have never had the number. Even as I look at my dd2 it makes me sad that eventually I will stop having children. I tell everyone I want 6 as I think that would be it financially but I really could go on forever.

I think it will come down to how I go with each pregnancy. Last pregnancy was very hard with ms but harder with SPD which apparently gets worse with each pregnancy:gloomy:
