[quote=Anonymous]I’m a mom to a 5yo and an almost 8yo.  I divorced when my youngest was a baby and am now remarried.  My husband does not have bio kids, is a wonderful stepdad and husband, and has always wanted to be a dad.  I wanted to have another baby with him.  We did get pregnant, but I miscarried in the second trimester.  It was very sad but it made us closer.

Now the expectation is that we will try again but I’m just not as gung ho as I was.  I’m 36 now (had my kids at 28 and 31) and I could feel a difference in how rough this pregnancy was on me as compared to my previous two (which were not easy at all).  I was really depressed at the notion of going back to work with a 12-week-old and the general chaos and exhaustion of the first few years.  The other day my DH and I took the kids to the pool and were sunbathing and relaxing while the kids played and swam, and I thought about how that wouldn’t be possible for years with a new baby.  Now with the Roe v Wade decision I feel a whole new layer of anxiety - will D&E’s be outlawed?

I guess I just wanted to ramble about my thoughts.  My desire to have a baby has been seriously tempered and all of the crazy news in the world is not helping.[/quote]
