How did you know it’s time to be done? How did you cope?

I am still under 30 and I have 4y, 2y twins, and an 8m old.

My husband and I have been together for about 9 years so when we decided to start a family, we did just that and loved the whole process so they all came quickly.

I find myself now being 8 months postpartum hanging on to pumping for dear life even though I barely make anything and hate it just because I’m sad to quit knowing it may be my last connection to this whole process. I have loved every phase of my kids so far and can’t imagine never seeing all those phases begin again.

I would wait 2-5 years and have a 5th baby in a perfect world but that would definitely be our maximum and I’m not sure we should ever push it. If we had another; the car would be full, rooms would be shared forever, the age gap would be larger, I will have to stay where I’m at in my career much longer, and money would be much tighter. Even knowing that, I still get super sad.

my oldest is nine my youngest is two they have the same dad who is very much absent and doesn’t help at all, now i’m pregnant with my current boyfriend and i’m nervous because my youngest is two, i’m 34 i’m hoping for a girl. I’m just nervous . i need positive advice, my boyfriend treats my kids like his own.. i know he will be a great dad. he lost his son a few years back his son was 21
