Re: Repost from Parenting...need all the advice I can get

This is a decision only you & DH can make. Personally, I would want one more if I were in your situation. Your DH is not old by any means. I don't think that's a good reason not to have another (again - this is just my opinion, you should think long and hard, which you probably already have, about it.)

Good luck with your decision. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

I think the fact that your two daughters are 10 years apart does basically make them "only children" developmentally. If you think about it, most likely, at least until age 40 or so, they will never be in the same stage of life and won't experience things together. I've known people that are 4 years older or younger than their sibs and they really don't become friends until their late twenties.

This is a decision that only you and your DH can make. If it was me, I'd be leaning towards another, not just for the boy but for a sibling for your baby.

I don't think this is a decision you should be making now. You're still young and you don't know how you'll feel after this baby is born. There are other methods of bc that are effective but not permanent. Chat Icon

This is a personal decision that should involve ONLY you and your DH.

But if you are asking what we would do in a similar situation....I'd wait a couple years after having the baby before I make that decision. By then, I think I would know if I wanted to have another child.
