Can’t help but feel sad.
So Iv got two boys (one nearly 4 and my baby who’s just turned 6 months)
I also have two step children. A boy and a girl.
Me and my finance don’t want any more children. We are very agreed that this chapter of our life is finished.
He has four so that’s enough for him, he’s scheduled to have a vasectomy.
Even though I have two my last baby arrived early and was in nicu. I do think I still struggle mentally with his birth. I’m physically unable to return to the hospital he was born in. I don’t think I’d mentally be able to cope with having another even if I wanted one, simply due to the fear of that happening again.
But recently Iv just been filled with so much “grief” I’m heartbroken that I’ll never do this again. I’ll never have that positive test, first scan, baby kicks, being pregnant and all the newborn stuff.
I don’t know what I want from making this post but I just needed to let it out.
Am I weird, does this even make sense. God knows.

I hated being pregnant, and we were always only going to have the one, but I totally feel what you’re talking about. I still feel sad that I’ll never have any of that again.
I get this. This is baby no2 for us and I won't be having anymore. This pregnancy and birth has gone so quickly. Soon he will be all grown up and won't rely on me. I'm trying to savour all the baby hugs I can get but it's also hard with another toddler too.
