Grief

How do people get over the thought of not having more children because your partner doesn’t want another? I know for most they are fine with that, but I feel it deep in my soul that im meant to be a Mum of 3 and my journey is not done. I can’t bare the thought of my baby being my last one. Advice or reassurance would be lovely 💔

I can’t comment on your situation as it’s something I’ve never been through. I just want to send you some love & comfort as I can’t imagine how hard it must be. Maybe your partner after some time will come around to having another child. If not, then you don’t have to stay. It’s your life & your happiness. Don’t live with any regrets because life is so short ♥️🫶🏻

@Sarah thankyou for your kind message and taking the time to reply 🤍 i hope it all works out x

I'm in the same boat. My partner doesn't want another. We have had one via IVF, so we are very fortunate that it worked. But since then he has expressed he doesn't want anymore. There's a big age gap between us so I get why he doesn't... But in my heart I know I want more children. Here if you want to chat or vent. It's not easy

Also in the same boat here. After one miscarriage and one traumatic birth, my husband doesn't want to try for another baby but I think I'm destined to be a Mum of 2. I won't leave because of it, just wish our thoughts aligned. Happy to chat if you want someone to talk to x

@Kat thats so difficult, im sorry. Its hard because you also have to respect their wishes, but i cant help but feel like it not happening is way worse then it happening. I know that’s probably selfish. Thankyou for reaching out x

@Kate im sorry you’re feeling the same. Will you learn to live with it or give an ultimatum? Its so hard to know how to approach it x

Oh I definitely won't leave because of it, I'm grateful to have one child and after the journey we've had, there's no one I'd rather have by my side through difficult times. It's a shame we're on different pages but 1. He might come around to the idea (unlikely but a girl can dream lol) or 2. I might change my mind x

@Kate im so glad you have that connection ❤️
