My DD is 11 weeks tomorrow. Since we met I've always been open about wanting a big family - I've always wanted 4 DC. DH said 2 was a maximum as he is one of three and felt left out at times, and four was just 'impractical and expensive'.
Now DD has arrived, he's adamant he doesn't want anymore. When I was pregnant I wanted to talk about how soon we would have another but he didn't want to discuss it at the time, and then it never came back up in conversation.
Initially I agreed with him that I understand his reasons for only wanting one. (Finances , time available etc) but that in my heart I do want another. I don't usually argue with him but this is something I feel passionately about. I've been trying to convince myself I only want one , but it's not working.
And now I'm late. I'm scared to do a test because I'm scared of a result either way. It's making me lose sleep now. Precious sleep. And the stress of it could be what's causing my migraines. So I decided to post on here. Maybe opening up to someone about it might help me feel better.
