@robynhoskin: We have been solely home educating our children now since the start of the year &, contrary to popular belief, I’m having the time of my life - despite struggling so much with my health. Managing a chronic illness amidst building a 2 businesses, pouring my life and soul into raising our children and homemaking, it’s a lot! And, yes, we are just about managing to make time for ourselves individually (self care)…but, we are not yet there with balancing relationship time too & we want that, we want to set that healthy example to our children & demonstrate a really well established, balanced relationship. We also want to travel & prioritise our businesses while the kids are at such gorgeous ages. It’s always been deep in my gut that I envisioned having another child or two, when Hudson was around 10. But, with having endometriosis, I seem to have developed the limiting beliefs that I would no longer have the option for more children by the time I’m 32…OR, that I’m selfish & entitled for “expecting” it to be that easy…like deciding one day in my early to mid 30s that I am ready for another child. With OCD too, it’s a very confusing battle. I don’t feel done having children (I don’t think), but I feel sooooooooooo much happier and peaceful since removing that pressure off myself that it has to be “now” (aka after my laparoscopy). When we made the decision to home educate, I felt the same level of relief. I am literally 27. Hudson and Harper are just 3 & 4. I feel like I was put on this earth to be a mummy. It’s everything to me & I absolutely adore being there for my friends’ children too. It just makes me the happiest I ever feel! However, the concept of another when he’s 10, means I’d literally be 6 years my senior. If I flip that on its head and think about myself 6 years ago…I was a completely different person back then. I was a baby…a real little girl with sooooooooo many life lessons to learn! 6 years from now, I trust that version of me to be exactly where she’s meant to be. Whatever is meant for me will be & I’m finally healing to the extent of cutting ties with pressure. The pressure I’ve doomed myself with my whole life. Not everything needs to be figured out. In fact, that’s very much the beauty of it sometimes! I also want to reiterate that I acknowledge my privilege and that’s a huge part of why I’ve always found this aspect of endometriosis difficult to talk about. I aim to be a pillar of hope for my fellow sisters that are yet to conceive and I hope from the deepest depths of my soul that every one of you who withholds the desire to be a parent is blessed with that opportunity. Sending so much love and strength to all of you. More power to women & women’s health rights.💛💪🏽 #endometriosis #endometriosisawareness #ttc #pregnancy #fertility

Jɛssıca ♡ :
It is a world of difficult decisions. I had a hysterectomy at age 24 (11 years ago now) due to endo and pcos. Was lucky to have two children prior to that and I wouldn't change it either. It has opened up other health issues, but still overall better. Would have happily had another kid, but felt that I'd rather be present for the children I already had than continue to suffer to have another child. (not suggesting that you should do that, that was just what was right for me).
Sounds like you have a good plan of not acting out of fear 💛
