Third baby

Has anyone had a second/third child without feeling 100% sure? I have two children and feel like the first I was 100% sure I wanted a baby, the second I was 100% sure I wanted a sibling. I always wanted three children but since having my second I have felt quite ‘done’.

I do miss the baby stage and often think about how I would love that feeling of meeting your baby for the first time, newborn cuddles etc, but the reality of what goes into having a child, and knowing I would be doing it alongside two children doing school run nursery run etc etc. I’m just not sure I could do it. I am also such a worrier and feel I have two healthy children already. I’m worried about it something were to go wrong with a third. I am turning 40 next year and my husband really wants a third, and given my age I am thinking about it really seriously as I feel this is really my last chance. Just wondering if anyone has had these feelings and done it anyway? Or not and regretted it?

Following as I feel just like you! I have two and I have a huge part of my heart that wants more but the overstimulated part of my brain and the logic side thinks how! X

i have two boys 3 and 18 months and i’m currently 31 weeks pregnant with a girl. i was constantly stuck between being done or not but i thought id never regret having another once they’re here but i may regret it if i dont ever. and now im going to have 3 under 4 i definitely have the fully done feeling and not the wondering what if feeling so i know im done now xx

Ah congratulations! I’ve thought this too , I know I would love the baby once they’re here regardless of how hard it will be. If I don’t go for it I might end up regretting one day and there’s no going back from that. It just feels so odd to start trying when I don’t particularly feel that excitement about it that I had before

Test line disappearing to shadow

Im currently 8dpo and have taken 2 easy at home tests. While test is developing a second pink line but disappears but I can swear I see a shadow. This has never happened before on tests that have been negative. Has this happened to anyone else and it been positive? Picture of test developing below.

To preface I do not have a period because I am breastfeeding but my baby is one . I was told by my doctor to take a pregnancy test to see if I’m pregnant but I did and I’m confused . The test with the blue dye had the picture taken within 2 minutes of peeing on it so it’s not an evap line and the other test is the one I’ve taken today . The problem I’m having is that my stomach is becoming hard and I am extremely nauseous and having ovarian pain but these tests are unpredictable . Is it possible to be pregnant with a negative test
