[quote=Anonymous]I realized I basically wrote all the reasons for having a 4th child, but never really expressed why I am unsure.
The main reason is my health. Like, I am healthy, never had any complications other than one quickly-treated bout of mastitis... But dang pregnancy is hard. Like, really hard. It's all worth it when you look up and see a smiling, happy fat 5 month old, a funny, silly, adorable 2 year old, an intelligent, creative, intense 4 year old... But man those 9 months creating them are rough!!!! I like having the kids close in age because I kind of feel like my body is not fully my own in this span of 5ish years, with the pregnancies, breastfeeding, etc... And I look forward to the day when we are DONE and I can have my body back, really get back in shape again, make decisions for myself without concern of how they might affect a fetus or breastfeeding baby because what I do with my body directly affects them...
So anyway, that is the one issue that holds me back. Go through it all again, to then have another adorable addition to our family? Or, say, "I'm done," and look forward to regaining my bodily autonomy once this baby is completely weaned in about 5 or 6 months?[/quote]
