How do you discuss with your partner that you want another baby?

My husband has ALWAYS said he only wants 1 maybe 2 babies. Our first baby is 8 months old but I want another baby. I want them to be close in age. And then after that baby I want a 3rd but he says absolutely not ๐Ÿ™ I don't even know how to bring it up to him about possibly starting to try for another when our son turns 1

You can look up statistics of kids w/ siblings vs kids w/o and see if those can help persuade him. You can also come to a compromise. You want 3, he wants 1 possible 2. So you will settle for 2. And go from there. I'd give him some time. Wait until after your 1sts baby's bday and then start talking to him about you wanting to try for a second

One and doneโ€ฆ or not?

32ftm. Iโ€™m starting to feel so much pressure to have another baby soon as I wean from breastfeeding so they can be close in age and be friends, but I donโ€™t feel ready for pregnancy and newborn trenches again ๐Ÿ˜ญ my husband and I are all weโ€™ve got. Having just one baby without a village has been really tough. Am I being unrealistic wanting another one soon?

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he canโ€™t see anything. Negative image down below.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (itโ€™s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which Iโ€™ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now Iโ€™m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? Iโ€™m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? Iโ€™m past being convinced by a pee test.
