:T I agree with this totally! plus its reversiable for guys so if they change their mind it can be rectified. :beer:

Although in favour of this as a method, it is not always reversible.

My ovaries twanged at the picture of Florence Cameron, but we have two children and won't be having any more. It took a long time to decide but ultimately we didn't have the cash for three.

Me too.

I have to stop myself fussing babies in supermarkets in case their parents think I'm a nutter.

ive got one grown up now and lately i thought it would be nice to try for one. I think ive been reading too many baby threads and parenting forums lol.

I dont think i seriously will though. I dont even know if i could now.My partner isnt keen either, plus we would struggle with money and we havent got any family support. I had quite abit the first time round but things are different now. I also had pnd which i dont fancy again.


Think we will just carrying on enjoying life the two of us. Its never easy to know if your doing the right thing. But we are ok and happy.

1 Child - two children OK. After that you cover 100% of the costs for your hobby, no child benefit NOTHING, I pay all the costs of my hobbies.

I have a little girl who is 13 months and as soon as she was born I wanted another one. I missed being pregnant and I feel our family is not complete at all. Yet I can't imagine having another child. We could afford another one in the long run and have the space but I worry a lot about money and Im really scared to try again. My OH would be happy to have another but he doesnt know how much I really want one or how scared I am. Our girl was not planned so it was different and I had no time to be scared. I keep seeing new babies and there are 5 friends pregnant just now too.. its constantly on my mind!

However Now that my baby is walking and feeding herself more, I already get more time to myself and just enjoy her instead of getting up at nights and constantly feeling tired. Its hard to imagine going back to that stage of constant tiredness/feedings/milk and having to take everything but the kitchen sink just to go to tesco. Yet I can imagine being pregnant, having another little one in my arms and loving it so much already. But If i didnt have another, I can imagine getting my debts solved quicker, nice holidays, more money to spent on my little girl...

I'm really conflicted too and have no idea what to do about it. Its not something anyone can really give you advice on or tell you what to do as it is such a huge disicion that will change your life.

To sum up my story... I really one one but I really don't...? Do I?
