How did you know you wanted to be a mom?

Question

I was almost sure I didnt want to be a mom but I was late on my period and missed a pill, the condom broke and me and my husband started to think I was preganant. Before I could do a test my period came and I feel dissapointed and sad. Is this logical? Can all my reasons not to be a mom be worht nothing just because this happened?

Answer

Time to do some self reflecting and reflecting as a couple. Maybe this is your sign that your mindsets changed 
We always knew we wanted to be parents, so I can’t say x happened and we knew.

Answer

I didn’t want kids also. It was similar to your situation. We had a scare and I expected the reality we were going to be parents. Well my period came, and I was super sad. When I sat grieving I was pregnant, I didn’t feel alone… I kept holding my uterus and I guess I found comfort in thinking there was a baby in me. 
Well, there was not. After that my husband and I talked and we were open to the idea of not trying but not preventing and we were pregnant 2-3 months later. 
Best decision we have ever made. I love my kiddos so dearly. We are going on number 3 now 😊
Good luck !

Answer

We were not sure we wanted a third until we thought I was pregnant and found out I wasn't.  It was really confirmed that we wanted more when we had a miscarriage. Sometimes something will happen that makes you think and question what you really want. So take some time and really discuss this. Does why you don't want kids outweigh the feeling of disappointment that you felt when you found out you were not pregnant? What about that possible pregnancy excite you, what were you looking forward to? Have a good long chat about what you two want now. Good luck.
