Do you feel your family is complete?

Question

When I was pregnant I was adamant that this was my last baby ( number two) I have a four year old boy and a 10 week old girl... everyone’s telling me oh wow, one of each that’s “perfect” and I should be done. But I can’t get this nagging thought that I’m not done having children. Husband would be fine with just two, but says he isn’t opposed to having another in a few years. 
For some reason I thought I’d “feel” our family is complete. 
Has anyone had that feeling of knowing their family is complete? Or does that not really happen in real life. 
Picture of my two little ones 🥰

Answer

I’m on the opposite end of the spectrum. I gave birth to my second daughter 9 weeks ago. Everyone keeps saying that my husband and I should have another because we “need a boy”. My husband and I are 100% done. I have no desire to be pregnant or have any more children.

Answer

No that totally happens, my family is complete and I didn’t feel that way when my 15 month old was born, now I do with our 9 week old. Everyone has their own rude opinions they should keep to themselves, every time we go somewhere I swear some stranger is like are you going to try for a girl. Nope happy with my 3 boys

Answer

I so wanted four kids. I’m blessed to have the one. Pregnancy and birth were rough and I’m still dealing with complications. She has minor medical issues we are still working out. I’m older and it was a miracle we even got pregnant. I always thought adoption would bring me my family, so that may be our next adventure. It’s been hard to have Covid and all we missed so I almost want a second chance. So I’m torn between yes, I want to do this again and no, I should be grateful for the one amazing baby I have. I don’t have a gut feeling one way or another if our family is complete.

Answer

I dont, but everyone has different choices on it. I have four babies and I want another in the future but I think if you are done then you are. You know how big you want your family.

Answer

I always said 2 & no more. I have one of each now. But... idk if I’m ready to say no more. I thought I would definitely know after my 9 week old was born but not yet.

Answer

I always knew I wanted two kids, and now that we just had our first I really want three! It’s interesting how your perspective changes once they are here.

Answer

I always wanted two kids and now that I had one I feel like I don’t want another! He’s so perfect and I had a traumatic birth that I’m blessed to have him and myself here safely so I don’t want to roll the dice again.

Answer

I also have one of each. I know I’m not done yet.  I’ve gotten comments saying that I can stop now bc I have one of each and I’m like nahhh.

Answer

I feel my family is complete. We have a 7. Yr old girl, 4 yr old girl and a 2 month old Boy. My SO wants more 😳 But I know I’m done.

Answer

Same happened to me I have an 8 year old son and 5 year old daughter. When my daughter was born everyone was telling me the perfect pair that I should get operated. I didnt feel complete.. now I have a 7 week old baby boy and feel complete and I'm happy with the age gap and again now my siblings and mother are telling me my husband should get snip. Its upsetting that others feel like my husband and I should stop having kids but we never needed any help from anyone and none of them have ever baby sat our kiddos. Our kids have been spoiled and very well maintained by husband and I and we have alternating scheduleds in which we never needed a baby sitter for them. Like imagine 3 kiddos and only had 1 baby shower for my daughter and only because my mother pushed for it because it was her first grand daughter. She only had grand sons. Everything our babies needed they have gotten from my husband and I.
