wanting another baby but hibby doesn’t

Just wondering if anyone on here has decided that they haven't finished having babies yet their dH/DP doesn't want another one.. have you managed to change their mind or did you change your mind?

I'm not thinking of having another one for a few yrs. We already have one child and I thought that 2 would be fine for us but I just don't think I am ready to say thats it! He hasn't said why he doesn't want another one - I guess it comes down to money in a way.

My hubby was adamant we weren't having another, so when i got pregnant (while still BF, taking the minipill and not having had an AF since giving birth to Lauren...) I completely freaked out. I was sure he was going to react really badly but he took it all in his stride and assured me it was fine. Coming from a guy who was talking about getting the snip because he didn't want to have any more children (I wanted another though, and told him he had to give me a couple years just in case he changed his mind). I think just give it some time and see how it goes - you might change the way you feel, he might change the way he feels, either way I bet you'll agree on one thing or another in the end I know for DH it was a lot about the money, he provides well for us and he was worried that another baby might make things a lot more difficult, we'll just do the best we can though!

I want 4, DH wants too.. I think a fair comprimise is 3 but he is not budging an inch... So I am the one being forced to comprimise and i resent it...

My DH is talking about the snip but at the moment I have convinced him not too...

I am going to wait until this bean is 2-3 before I make it an issue.. who knows by then I may be happy with my pair...

My DF only wanted one, I had my oldest when I meet him... but after we had DD2 (his first) we had MANY discussions and eventually he came round to having a third... He's now pretty excited about it too... I think it came down to I wanted no.3 more than he was against it IYGWIM...

Same as freckle, I already have an older child, and while preg with DFD, DP was adamant that one was enough... but after seeing how much he loves her, hes happy for us to have one more (this will be our last though) since we have the room, and all the basic baby stuf from DD (I had nothing from DS, so had to start from scratch, which means everything is in pretty good condition, being only used for a year) money isnt going to be too much of an argument to NOT have another

give it time, he may come around once the new baby stage is passed, and he becomes a little more interactive and 'fun'. DP said no more cos he'd heard all the horror stories of sleepless nights, and vile nappies, but the reality was so much better than what he thought it would be!

My two oldest were from my previous marriage and DH was not keen on having another, especially because ours were older, getting more independant etc but I just felt our family was missing something and after a LOT of discussions etc I managed to convince him to try to have a baby together and just a couple of months later I was pregnant with Riley.

I am now in the position where I would love just one more so Riley has a playmate but I cant see him budging even tho Riley is the apple of his eye and he has said he couldnt imagine life without him now... we shall see, I havent pushed it much yet as its early days

For those wanting more, maybe spend time with 3, 4 teenagers (depending on how many children you want) and see if that's what you really want.

OMG I must be in the minority in that I only want 2, tops....DF could keep going and have 6 if it were up to him . I'm trying to convince HIM to get the snip lol but he absolutely won't. I'm not prepared to take contraception so unless we use condoms for the rest of our lives, we just won't ever have sex again  (and with two under 2 I don't think that'll be a problem quite frankly! ).

DP has said no more for 10 years (being 19 I understand why), although I wouldn't mind if it was 5 years. He said he is content with 1 and atm that is fine. Although I wouldn't mind 2, or maybe 4 kids. (Always pictured myself with an even number )

DP doesn't want anymore, at least for 10 years when he'll reconsider but he isn't willing to give anything up for that... iygiwm!
