My husband and i have been married 3 years we have 2 1/2 year and 3 month old daughters. We originally thought we'd have 2 kids but since i've had my 2nd i really would like another baby. I thought he might want to try for a boy but he doesn't he said he's done and wants to get fixed. We are in our early 20's i think we still have plenty of time to have 1 more and that its too early to permantly decide. We have a great marriage and love our girls soo much i just don't feel "done" with this part of my life and would like another someday what do i do? Is this selfish of me to push?

Not at all. You're both still very young. But it is his body and his decision. In order for you to have a baby, both of you must want it, and pushing him into having another baby when he doesn't want one might be detrimental to your relationship. If the tables were turned, how would you feel if you felt you didn't want another baby, but he kept pushing you? Is it fair to a new baby to bring it into the world when its father quite simply doesn't want it?

Your youngest daughter is only recently born, so I'm surprised you want another so quickly. Why not take some time? The fact that you are both so young gives you plenty of time to think it through. He might change his mind in a couple of years.

I hope it works out.

Hi. I just had a little girl 3 months ago. I don't feel like I am ready to be done either. My husband however has kids from a previous marriage and the baby I just had is the only one I have. He doesn't want more children and I want just one more. I wanna try for a little boy. He has completely shut me out when it comes to this topic. He doesn't wanna talk about it and he has said some pretty mean things about it. I don't feel like it is selfish at all! I feel like as a woman we are made to want kids... we should try and hold onto that right!
