[quote=Anonymous]OP, I understand this, to an extent. I most clearly understand the fear of being resentful.   I wanted a second but DH didn't want one.  I think you need to look hard at your family and decide if you can love life with only 1.  There is nothing to guarantee you could have a second, even if she changed her mind.

The key to not being resentful is understanding what that resentment might bring into your relationship and whether your resentment is worth putting a cloud over what might be an otherwise perfect trio.  The resentment is within your control, and not having it has to do with perspective and loving what you do have, regardless of why it isn't different, or more children.

I can understand only to an extent because just when I was accepting that we were going to be a glorious family of 3, I got pregnant when I thought I was too old to, at least succesfully.   I must say though, I sometimes wonder how good it would have been to only be 3.

Good luck, and if this really does continue to haunt you, maybe find a counselor to discuss this with.[/quote]
