[quote=\"MummyThreeStreams\"]I have 3 boys! We tried for no. 3 not because we wanted a girl, but because we wanted 3 kids. In fact having 3 boys works out well for us. Our family is now complete. But now the grandparents keep suggesting that we should try for a 4th so they can have a granddaughter!


We ignore them...

I like even number ... So stop at 2 :evil:

Hmmm.....got me curious
So how many kids did mommies here plan to have initially and how many did you stop at eventually?
I wanted 4.....after 2 I surrendered, partly cos' dare not put myself on the 'chopping board' for a 3rd time.[/quote]Planned 1 only due 2 work commitment but managed 2 hv 2. Having 3 is out of question 4 me n hopefully wont happen!!

Oh dont tempt me... SH was my fave mag!

Being hoarder (I still have copies of 'Dare') i kept all issues but the clutter really got to me. Some years back I resolved never to buy magazines. Anyway, with plethora of useful mummy blogs etc, magazines are thing of the past for me.

Thanks for the alert anyway. Will keep a lookout at the library shelves

Hi Terry, r u trying 4 baby no. 3.....?

ectanz,

no thks! im in the hi risk age grp alrdy.

my ds1 is in k1 this yr. my #2 still in my tummy, due late aug. i’ve forgotten hw tough pregnancy is, altho i managed to ‘escape’ alot of usual discomforts like morning sickness, water retention, constipation… but still the groin/ligament pain and frequent peeing/disturb sleep is enough for me to smtimes question myself WHY?

[MummyThreeStreams]

I really enjoyed my pregnancies, even though they got increasingly difficult with age. For the second and third ones I was hospitalized and put on bed rest. Had other problems too. But I really liked the feeling of carrying a baby in me. :love:


Reached my KPI ahead of schedule. no need to try anymore, but I think I'll miss being pregnant and carrying a newborn...

wah! how old is your youngest? :evil:

i don't miss being pregnant... :siam: maybe several yrs down the rd i might miss carrying a newborn but i'll just carry other people's babies. cos those, when poop or cry can hand back to the parents. and no need to have sleepless nights.

cwc,
i love kids, have always, and wanted 4, before marriage. and even after having the 1st one, we were still thinking, possible. after 2nd boy, I knew I won't have 4 kids anymore. it was so tough!

now with no.3, and a girl, we're closing factory. no more. enough. very contented and satisfied and i know i won't be able to cope with more...

janet:
sometimes so overwhelmed with chores and after a whole day of not eating properly, not much sleep for many days, and being hot sticky and with the bb crying just 5min after i put her down to nap... i also contemplated running away!

now, it is getting slightly better with the youngest starting to understand instructions...

Hi kabalevsky,

I don’t miss the pregnancy stage either. In fact I am so relieved both my kids are in primary school…which is another tough stage but at least the wailing, injections, expressing milk is over.

[Kabby]

yup it is much easier with the boys now... waiting for dd to grow up quickly!
