I have 4 daughters 11,9,3 and 18 months. My husband is booked in for a vasectomy next month, the reason being we just could not decide whether to have more children.
Last week we had a chat and discovered that we did both want to have another, I guess a big part of it is trying for the boy, but deep down we just don't feel finished.
It is very busy with 4 kids and we want to do good by them all, and give them all the individual time they need, however I do believe that having a big family has its benefits even though its alot of work.
One part of me thinks I have my family finished now and to just get on with things, but a bigger part just says have one more (regardless of the sex of the baby). But I am afraid that I am just a maternal person and will feel like that again after no 5.
I also consider how lucky I am to be able to make the choice, when so many women are struggling to have families and admit to feeling a little greedy wanting more.
I am just wondering are there any other moms out there who feel like this?? Or any advice?
