Bit of background - have 3 dc already, 2 at school and one aged 3. Back in Feb I got pg accidentally and despite having always agreed we did not want a 4th dc I and DH were v excited. Sadly this pg ended in a chemical preg at 5 weeks. I was devastated and dh was upset too but more on my behalf iyswim.
Anyway we decided to actively ttc and got pg again in May, this ended in an MC with bleeding at 5 weeks, a series of scans and finally a natural mc at 9 wks (although foetus was 5 wks) . I found the delay and uncertainty very upsetting and dh also v upset esp. as he was very busy at work and so unable to come to any scans etc.
So, I am now awaiting 1st AF post MC. My head says maybe the 2 MCs are telling me 3 is enough but my heart says I want no. 4! DH is getting less and less keen on ttc no.4 as he found the MCs hard and is basically happy with our situation as is (so am I but also feel 4 would be good!).
And looking at possible due dates ahead (how sad am I...) all bar a couple of months clash with 2 family events abroad next year which the dcs will not want to miss and one of which we can't miss.
This is all very long and rambly, not sure what i am trying to say really but just wanted to write it all down. Noone except me and DH knows about MCs or ttc so I can't really talk in RL. Plus I sometimes feel a fraud on this board too as I already have 3 dc and some are struggling to have one...I must seem very self indulgent. But am also feeling a bit sad...
Any wise words of advice anyone?
