i am 34 married to a very responsible husband with 2 kids (girl and boy), lea (2 y.o) and gabriel (1 y.o). I delivered them both by c-section. my ob-gyne told me that i will be allowed to have only one more baby. if you are being told the same, will you give try to get pregnant for that last baby or settle with two? please help..i'm really discerning.

You are already a lucky mom in having two kids. I don't see any specific reason in going for more. I am happy with my only son and who is healthy and scholar too. Too many kids won't allow you enjoy your personal life that too in the age when you are supposed to enjoy with your spouse. As you have finished the main task in the life as giving borth to kids I think now you should care to bring them up from all angles and as soon as they grow you can use your life for your own dreams and enjoyment. So i think having two kids a great like a heaven. Wish you a happy family life.

I have two children both delivered by c-section as well. My ob-gyn advised I should have no more because of fear of my uterus errupting (ouch) so I had a tubal ligation. This was hard for me but at the same time having two children is a blessing and they will have each other. For you I think you need to weigh the risks of another child on your health and possibly the babys and think if you and your husband really do want another child or if you are just considering it because your dr told you you could only have one more

yeah right, that's exactly what my ob gyne told..my uterus is already so thin that it can only afford one more baby... my husband told me that if we are allowed to have 3 babies, better take that chance because there are millions out there who were not given their chances of having babies....

I wouldn't settle for what the doctor said and find another doctor for a second opinion, especially if you want more then 3 kids. I have 4 and all were born via c-section and I was never told I couldn't have more then 3 nor was I told I couldn't go on to have more after my 4th was born last year. My kids are 6 1/2, 5, 4 and 11 months (she'll be 1 in 3 weeks). We are considering having a 5th and I think I will be done after that because the last pregnancy wore me out. Not sure I could go through it again and again, but I never know. Plus each surgery and pregnancy goes different so I think I would have to wait and see how the 5th would go.

If I can afford another caesarian operation both financially and physically I will have one more baby. Three children is ok with me. Me, I like twins, you only give birth once but you have two babies.

it's ok to have many children. As they say "Go to the world and multiply". But! you also have to consider your financial status and if you can take good care of them as well
