As a mom, how did you or are you in a struggle to decide when to stop having children? I just had my third child almost four months ago and we are 99.9% sure this is our last baby. But that last percent is overwhelmingly hard to accept.

The thing about it is that, I was so surprised to be met with even the smallest amount of uncertainty. The truth is both my husband and I go through a similar cycle with each pregnancy. We experience this sense of euphoria with every appointment and sonogram (though my last Covid baby brought on some interesting challenges and feelings, but that’s an entirely different post) and by the third trimester we are telling my doctor that we are absolutely not doing this again, only to find ourselves doing it again.




At age 41, I want to make the healthiest decision when it comes to my fertility and knowing when to stop growing our family.  I have found that as me and my husband just have honest dialogue about what we are feeling at the moment and are realistic in our family’s purpose in this season, we are closer to finding peace in our decision.

What about you? Are you done having kids or still counting on? Are you struggling with whether or not to have more children? Let’s chat in the comments.
