My son is almost 3 and I am ready to get pregnant again. My fiance doesnt want another baby right now. We are tight on money but I believe God will provide for any baby that he brings into the world. It is really starting to make me upset with my fiance!! It makes me feel that he doesn't want to have anymore babies with me!! I don't want a huge age difference between my kids.

My son is almost 3 and my step-daughter is almost 4! They are so close and I'm ready to have a couple more. My fiance is being selfish, he has 2 kids one of each sex but he doesn't understand that I've only had 1 baby not 2!! I want a daughter of my own. Don't get me wrong I love my stepdaughter to death but she's not completey mine (if you know what I'm saying). My son looks just like his dad and I would love to have a little girl that looks just like me!!

I am really starting to get depressed about this issue and I don't want that to happen. I want my fiance and I to BOTH want another baby together. I don't want to feel like I'm doing it all by myself. I have also thought about just going off my birth control without telling him. Should I do that or should I wait. Ladies please help me out. You are the only people that know about his I haven't even dicussed it with my mom yet.

Please let me know what you would do!!! Thank you!! ~L.~ Ohio

What can I do next?

Wow L.,
You have a lot on your mind. There are a couple of things to consider allong with what you are wanting. First,you are so young and have lots of time to have children...siblings can and most likley will be close no mater the age gap.
Second, secretly going off of your birth control isnt a healthy way to grow your family...your feance may have resorvations for more resons than one, NONE of wich have anything to do with not wanting to have babies with you. Communication is key here...you need to do some digging for more information. Once you understand him you may have a different out look on the hole thing.
Hope all gose well for you...take care.

First of all....do not go off birth control without your fiance knowing. That would be starting your marriage off with a big lie.

Secondly, you said that you want a little girl who looks like you. There are several things wrong with that kind of attitude. First, you are not guaranteed to have a girl even if you do get pregnant and secondly, there are no guarantees that she (or he) will look like you.

I understand your thoughts about having siblings who are far apart in age, but that is still not a reason to have another baby right now. You should wait until you are married and financially able to afford the baby.

Hi - you really cannot push someone into wanting another baby. You are young and have a whole life ahead of you. I would definitely suggest that you wait until you are married before embarking on more children. It is pretty risky!! Definitely do not lie and go off birth control!!! That is sneaky and will cause much uproar!!! Take a deep breath and really think about this!!

If you truly believe God has His hand on everything...then perhaps your fiance is being wise... Don't you think God would want you to be married before you bring another child into this world? I don't mean to be harsh...but you are putting the cart before the horse so to speak.

I too had a child when I was 17 and married the father...had another at 19 (married) and another at 23... then a year later I went bonkers because I didn't have a chance to be a child myself. It had devastating results on my family which will last forever...

I am 42 now and have 25, 23, and 19 year old sons from my first marriage and just had twin boys 5 months ago... Give yourself time. Get married and enjoy your son and your new husband... When the time is right and if you leave it in God's hands it will all work out.
