šŸ’”Torn

Katrina

Okay this may get lengthy, fair warning. I am almost 25. I have an almost 4 year old, a 2 year old, and a 9 month old. Iā€™m divorced and now engaged and my fiancĆ© and I agree that we want another one possibly two kids. (My ex has my 2yo so I only have the oldest and youngest full time) what we canā€™t decide on is timing. Also we canā€™t seem to figure out if we want to go with ā€œif it happens it happensā€ or use bc to make sure it doesnā€™t for a while or to really even try at all. My younger two were both way early. 8 weeks early and 10 weeks early both c sections. Iā€™ve also had a ruptured ectopic and now only have one tube. I also have a very strange pattern of every other pregnancy is lost. I canā€™t bring myself to admit it to him but as much as we both want our big family, with my history, pregnancy has a certain fear attached to the very idea for me. With my ruptured ectopic I almost died from internal bleeding. Iā€™m just torn about a dozen different ways. I want to have another (not with my youngest being this young obviously but not too far off either) but at the same time I want to enjoy this life as it is and also I donā€™t want to mistime and end up being pregnant when weā€™re supposed to be getting married next October. He says he has no problem with whatever road I want to take because itā€™s my body and my health. (He is almost too perfect sometimes šŸ™„šŸ˜) he says that ideally weā€™d wait until after weā€™re married and have substantial stability but he knows that life doesnā€™t necessarily work that way. Heā€™s basically leaving it up to me. I grew up in a catholic based family and although Iā€™m far from a ā€œgood catholicā€ one thing I personally donā€™t believe in is bc. I believe that if itā€™s meant to happen then it will and I donā€™t have any right to try to stop it. Any opinions? Iā€™m just indecisive about it. Such a big decision.
