How do I know when I am finished my family?

Question

I am sooo clucky right now and to be truthful have been since 3 hours postnatally with my second daughter!

I just can't seem to get closure on this feeling and want nothing more than a 3rd baby.  however - my husband is perfectly happy with our two daughters (as am I) but doesn't want any more children.  Firstly he states he is too old (42 but I am only 32), secondly he states we cannot afford it.  This is partly true but I know we could manage if we pulled the purse strings tighter.

has anyone else felt like this and not went ahead with another pregnancy?  if so how has this been?  If you couldn't resist, how has that last pregnancy been - has it resolved your craving for another child.

I plan to be sterilised during the c-section should I have another child so atleats I know this time I would have the decision made for me....

It's difficult when partners can't agree on how many kids to have. My wife and I planned to have 3 or 4 kids, and I'd happily have even more, but after our first she's changed her mind and I'll be lucky if she gives me a second one. Very different of course being a man I can't do anything about it if she won't get pregnant again.

well my hubby said the same thing, he told me he never wanted kids until i got pregnant now he loves his little girl. now i want another baby and he is saying the same thing but to be honest i think women have to do most of the work so its really up to us  women if we should have another child.
