I have always used long term birth control (Depoprovera 6 years, and 2 IUD) spanning my fertility years. I know myself pills were not for me. I'm having my first baby, due to my job, negociating for this baby with my husband took some work. He is loving and happy about the baby. He just worried that we can't be great parents with our work schedules.
Getting another Iud after delivery seems like closing the door on the chance of another child. We have been lucky/blessed, we conceived and thus far the baby looks healthy.
Deciding to concieve is the triumph of hope over fear. Knowing the risks, I'm not sure I or my husband could over come that hurtle when I'm 40/41 years old. I haven't brought up the thought to hubby that maybe I'll want another kid before 5 yrs.
I'm I being selfish in thinking that I may want another? We are partners and both ppls needs are equally valid. I don't want to be having a hard time making the decision to get another 5 yr iud. Any thoughts?
