My Husband wants more children...Repost from 3-6mnths

in January 2012 Moms
I get more & more stressed about it when he brings it up. I honestly do not want more children, I am fine with just DD and if it was up to me I would have had my tubes tied before I left the hospital. But because I am 25 and only have one child my OB would not allow it. My Husband insists we "try for a boy" it so much easier for him because he does not have to be pregnant. I probably sound so selfish and I do not want my DH to feel like I don't want to have more of his children, but honestly I don't. Like I said I am 25yo I just finished my BSN in my 7 month of pregnancy and hope to go for my Master's next year. I just don't know what to do, or even how to explain all of this to my Husband without hurting his feelings.

    I would sit down with your DH and tell him that you are honestly not ready for another at the moment.  Right now you are still dealing with an infant and as they get older and things get easier you may naturally change your mind.  At the moment, however, the last thing you need is to be stressed out and fighting with your DH about it

    I think making yourself clear that you want to wait (and you have very legit reasons to want to do so!) is definitely your best bet. This way there is no confusion. Good luck!

    Even though DH and I know we want more, DH at least respects that being pregnant (and breastfeeding for that matter) is an invasion of my body.  He wants me to have the chance to feel like I have my body back before I get pregnant again.  If you explain it to your DH like that, maybe he'll understand.
