I am not any kind of Dr. but I have been married for years and have 3 kids, so I feel that I am a little bit of an expert on this subject. i understant your need to bear another child, that yearning is very strong in lots of women.However , if your husband feels strongly against having another child now for whatever reason, then take that into consideration. Once you add another little one into the picture, the stress tends to get a little greater. To say he isn't a family man may not be a fair assesment of the situation. He may feel alot of stress now and instead of adding more, he may want to work on whatever problems you two may be having.Which actually is more important,because when things are good in your marriage he may be more open to having another baby. And when you do, that baby will be a wonderful arrival for all of you, and you all will be happy. Good Luck
