well if you conceive very easily.... rough guess of 50% chance?

why did you have unprotected sex if you don't want another?

Well it took me 4 years so on that basis not very high at all. But it must be OK to be pregnant or you wouldn't have had unprotected sex, so it doesn't matter. Right?

I do want another in my heart of hearts but am really scared of the whole idea of it too.

it is terrifying having another, from ttc right up to the birth and a few weeks after but if you want another that's no reason not to.

discussing it with your dh and deciding together might be a better idea than accidentaly on purpose though

not 99% high, but really the stats are irrelevant arent they? Doesnt matter if its 99% or 4% you could well become pg...

i definietely do anyway and i know it terrifies dp.

there's all the fears about the baby being ok, the money it'll take, the changed family dynamic, will you cope.

good god i'm hyperventilating even writing that (6 weeks preg and definitely panicing!)

god no!

i was in floods of tears just days before ds was born as we had such a horrible time with dd i was terrified..... plus i felt evil for inflicting a baby on her stealing all her attention!

and dp went out for a smoke a few hours after we brought him home and apparently prayed 'please god just let this year go quickly'! as it was the first year with dd that almost killed us

so this is your third, PT?

God, it's the fear of looking back and thinking "why did I rock the boat?"

I really feel I'd have to have a section I'd be so scared

as long as they're loved and happy then all will be good.

4 isn't a huge number of kids and if you really feel it's the amount of kids you want you'll always regret it if you don't go for it

I mean, if something goes wrong, you'd be - why was I so greedy? why wasn't I content with my lovely lot in life?

that was dp's main objection.

my view on that is my kids could be hit by a bus tomorrow and left handicapped for life... god forbid that should happen but my point is being born healthy isn't a garuantee that they'll be healthy all their lives, and the chances of them being born with a problem are slim, and certainly not good enough reason to say no more kids if you want them and can afford them
