My hubby would get the snip tomorrow if he could. Logically, I know and understand that we can't just keep on having babies. If I think back to the fatigue and morning sickness of the first trimester or the constant backaches in the last trimester, I don't actually want to endure pregnancy again. But then I think about those first flutters, feeling my baby kick and hiccup inside her safe and cozy place in my body and my heart aches to know that I won't ever experience that again. At the minute, my brain and my heart are at odds with eachother. I know that my brain will have to win out, it's time to be done with having kids but these past 5 years of childbearing have been the best years of my life and I'm sad to see that chapter close. I guess I have to look ahead to the new chapter-adventures with my kids as they get old enough to do fun things. But I'll always love the way a newborns bum fits into your hand.

He wants to schedule his vasectomy but I keep asking him to wait until I can say yes without crying. Eventually, he'll be frustrated with me. Anyone else feeling conflicted? CVD-I wish I felt the way you do! It'd be so much easier if I had that definitive sense that we're done and it's time to move on. Maggie's outgrown some of her adorable newborn outfits, and I was weeping while folding them up and setting them aside. It's already going too fast!

Permanent birth control is really something that BOTH ppl in the relationship have to be totally and completly on board with. Even though your brain says one thing and your heart says another, im of the mindset that if there is any doubt (no matter what body organ that comes from), then don't do it. The choice needs to be 110% positive for both, otherwise that is when you get into regret or wanting a reversal, etc. If i were still havings feelings such as you, I would chose something more along the lines of an IUD. They have practically the same sucess/failure rate as vasectomy/tubal ,and they last a pretty long time (though they can be taken out at any point) but they dont come with the permanent strings of the choice-it's reversible, unlike Vasectomy/Tubal.

If there was any doubt, even .001% for either of us, then we def would not have gone the permanent route.

Great news mum23. I think the 2/5 is the amount of the babies head that is in your pelvis. So 2/5th in and 3/5th still out.

Mum23boys - It won't be long now! Do you have a "feeling" (mothers instinct) of girl or boy? With DD1 I just knew from the beginning it was a girl but with DD2 I didn't have a clue.

[Mum23boys]

Yes I am 99% sure it's a boy for various reasons. Only ever felt like this with ds1 with ds2 and 3 it could have gone either way I had no idea.

Good luck m23... Not long now.
It is getting exciting. There's quite a.few of us ready to pop. I'm due for an ecv next Wednesday, then another growth scan the following Wednesday then see how we go. Tonight is my last night of work... Yay.
