I have 3 girls, 6, 4 and 8 months. When I got pregnant with my 3rd, 4 years after my last one, everyone was shocked that we waited so long. But we couldn’t take the ‘wait and see what happens’ approach. Financially, it would have be devastating to have her sooner and even for me it would have been difficult (one income with 4 people was hard for us) but when we decided we would try again, we knew we were in a place to handle both sides, the emotional/physical side and the financial side. Her birth was so traumatizing for me (I almost died and massive hemorrhaging for weeks afterward) that I’m glad we are done with our family now. I’m glad we could make the choice and all of our kids were wanted in the first place. -- source link
