Don’t know if I want another baby

Hi ladies

I currently have 2 boys who are 2 and 7 from previous marriage.

My new partner also has a daughter who is 16 months old

My partner really wants a baby together but I’m just not 100% sure if I want anymore. My reasons for not having more is that I’d have less time with my boys and I don’t want them to feel pushed out, is that silly? Also we’d need bigger house and bigger car which we could afford but I’m not sure I want to stretch ourselves financially.

My oh sees his daughter every weekend but I understand why he wants his own child that he gets to live with every day.

Has anyone been in similar situation?

I’m 35 now and I don’t want to be much older If I’m gonna have another. Feel a bit like it’s now or never but dunno what to do x

I wouldn’t force it on myself if I’m not sure. You don’t want ppd or to be depressed while pregnant. Give yourself more time. And he should relax his baby is not even 2 yet.

It’s not silly you don’t want them to feel pushed out. I had my daughter 5 years just her, her dad and I. We love our daughter she’s our world. I planned for her sister and once she was out I cried alot for the first two weeks because I felt like I was leaving my first baby out. I would cry myself to sleep tbh. Not saying you would but it was really alot on me bc I love my first so so much.
