Sounds like something unresolved to work out with a therapist. What makes you want a 3rd if 2 is all you can handle and your husband is not on board?
I think it’s one thing to want it and another to hope an IUD fails.
I mean I sometimes contemplate having another, but the state of the world, knowing my mental health would suffer, and finances would take a hit if I had another makes me make sure my birth control is working, not secretly wish for another pregnancy.
I think you should think more about this whole thing, like SM1 says. It sounds like something is really tugging at you and talking it through will probably offer a lot of benefits to you, both in the present and the future (no matter what happens.).
I went ahead and had the third. Our house looks like it was stirred with a wisk. I look at photos from 8 years and 1 kid ago and marvel how clean our house looked. No regrets.
Similar - no IUD. But for years after we had our 3rd, I wondered about a 4th. I kinda always thought we'd do it eventually. But we were in a rocky spot in our marriage...not good enough for a long-enough period that I ever felt like we should really try for a 4th. So for at least a few years, I hoped for an 'oops'. I've never been on birth control....we use condoms, which can definitely have an oops here and there. Same that I never would've done it on purpose, but also knew that we'd make it work if it happened. Never did though. Our marriage is still rocky and our youngest is 8 and I'm now in my 40s. Guess 3 was meant to be my max.
Yes… we have ebbs and flows, too. I know I could handle two kids on my own but three would be a stretch for me!
Yeaaaaa but no
I’d just have a third kid.
YES. I'm really on the fence about a 3rd and there a part of me that secretly hopes that the decision is made for me by an oopsie LOL
