    Its not so much nagging as repeated asking. DH, in laws, my sister, friends, mums at nursery etc. It's a bit waring, that's all.

    If your DH wants another child and you don't you will need to work that one through I suppose. Ultimately, till they can enable men to do it you should have the final say though!!

    So, what's your honest answer? "I don't want any more"?

    Like I said, it's your choice. You need to have a frank conversation with your OH. everyone else can go screw ;)

    Had 7 years of that before having DD. He knew he wanted kids, I didn't know if I did. I was always a "maybe".

    Agreed to have DD. now I'm back to "maybe" again.

    I don't know.

    Think you do! And it's fine.

    I love babies. Small children not so much :o. Big kids - cool!

    If I were better at being pregnant I'd be a surrogate and wet nurse.

  • Surely you can see that's just circumstance though? My son had an infantile convulsion brought on by a high temperature when teething. After that, I gave him calpol at the first sniff of a temperature as instructed by my doctor. I've lost count of the number of doses he's had in his nearly three years.

    So true. I've lost count of the number of bottles let alone doses of ibuprofen & paracetamol I've given DD! She's nearly 10 and got a multitude of medical issues before anyone jumps on me for that:rotfl:
