How did you know you were finished having babies?

Question

I have three daughters (5, 4 and nearly 2) and one angel son (I had to have an arranged medical miscarriage as at my 12 week scan he was diagnosed with fetal acrania which they said he wouldn't survive for very long after birth). Anyway, how do you know you are finished having babies? I feel like I don't know whether I want another baby because I'm wondering 'what if' or because I genuinely want another baby. I know I am very lucky with the three I already have but I feel like if I was to have another baby I would like to have one soon seeing as my youngest is still small. I need some advice on how to know what to do.

Answer

I always said none after 30. I had first at 21 and then 2nd at 27 and one at 28 (small 14 month age gap) I'm 33 now and defo wouldn't have any more and glad I got last two out way b4 I was 30 and love watching them grow especially since last two were quite hard with small age gap. I do get sad I'll never experience being pregnant and bringing home a baby etc and even after my last I never really said its my last

So never soaked in those moments and I do miss it but I'm gonna be 34 this year and I feel to old now and feel young enough to watch these grow. With one on year 7 and 2 in reception it's another 6 years of primary school runs and don't wanna be one of the old ones having more. Plus money wise too it's hard when they get bigger days out are more Xmas etc. I do miss it and does make me sad those days are gone. But I'd always said none after 30 and I have 2 girls and a boy xx
