How do I tell my husband I don’t want to have more kids ?
We already have two small kids, our oldest is a special needs child and takes up 95% of my time, we have had two miscarriages also (one before our oldest was born and one 6months ago, I also have to add that the birth was our youngest was an extremely traumatising emergency caesarean where myself and our child almost both lost our lives ).
The past couple of weeks my husband has been constantly asking if we can have another baby because he would really like another son, but I really don’t feel mentally or emotionally ready to have another child to care for, he works up to 20 hours a day, 6 days a week and I just feel like I’m not emotionally, mentally or physically able to have another child.
How do I tell him I’m happy with the two children we have ?
Thank you

Just like you have written it here. Just tell him that ur happy with two and you feel it could be too risky due to what happened with your last pregnancy, and that it is mentally too hard
You just have to say the words. Make sure you have your contraceptive sorted in the meantime.
Exactly what you've written here. You aren't ready for another child. You may never be ready. For many reasons. Here they are. He needs to understand and come to terms with taking it off the table. That might take time.
And "he would really like another son?" Goddamn. So if the new baby was a daughter? What then? Another?
