When is enough enough
When you decide it is or the decision is taken away from you. My hubby and I wanted 6 children and started early and with vigour to attain our goal of a large family, unfortunately I failed labour and had to have c-sections 4 in all and was told that I shouldnt fall pregnant again as my body wouldnt cope, to add insult to injury 6 mths after the delivery of my last child they found C2 cancer cells on my cervix and well a rushed hysterectomy later my choice was gone. It took a long time to cope with that, nothing bothered me as much as being unable to have more children, however hindsight is a wonderful thing and I know now what I didnt know then.... time energy and money all play a factor in having children no matter what we think we believe and in reality although we wanted six we only just managed our 4 so that they were all loved, cared and provided for, babies are beautiful and I would be surrounded with them all day everyday but I am a realist and I know that I am blessed with the 4 that I had, so weigh up all the pros and cons honestly and then decide with your partner what you both want and whats best for your family.
