Hi, I am new to the site. I am Kaisha. I just turned 24 and I am 6 months pregnant with my 5th child. My husband and I have been together since I was 17, and he is Mormon and expects me to have as many children as possible. He also has another wife who he has also gotten pregnant (as is normal in the mormon faith). I am sick and tired of having children and I feel like I am going to go insane if another child has to come from my body!! What do I do? I have a child and then it seems like 6 weeks later I am finding out I am pregnant again, because he doesn't believe in using condoms or anything....how do I tell him I no longer want to be his "baby machine" without hurting our relationship or his feelings. This is making me so depressed and confused....Please help me....

He always says he likes having kids around and he likes the way I look when I am pregnant. He says he likes showing me off in public with a pregnant stomach. I feel very very hopeless sometimes because he will switch between staying at our house and staying at his other wife's house with their kids....I did not he was Mormon until I was already pregnant with our first child. I just don't know what to do....I am so lost and confused...

Just lie to him and so you went to the doctor and you can't have any more kids for some reason.

He doesn't allow me to go to the doctor by myself. He says it is traditional for the man to take care of his wife and so I am stranded at home all day with the kids (we only have one vehicle) while he goes out to work.

Wow hun. You are so young and already having five children. I also have 5 children. I would just be up front and honest with him. Your body is tired!!! I wish you the best...

I really don't want to have as many kids as he already has with his other wife. She is currently pregnant with their 14th child. I also feel bad for her because he says once she gets past the years she is able to give birth, he is going to divorce her and find another wife.

The neighborhood that we live in is all strictly Mormon, and all of the woman have like tons of children. I just feel like I could do so much more than just be an incubator for the rest of my child bearing years....

I just couldn't deal with that hun, tell him knocking you up every nine and a half months and then leaving you with a house like a primary school is not your idea of care! I'm sure he does like having kids around when he only has to play with them for an hour a day and not squeeze them out of his body, wipe their shit and clean their vomit!

Sounds like borderline abuse. He doesn't care about his wives. Just wants kids. Do you have any family that can help?
deleted_user
I'm sorry, religious or not, he's a bastard.
deleted_user
omg 14 children?!?!?! Wow..
deleted_user
He is also trying to get me to do this birth and whatever other births he thinks there are going to be at our home. He thinks it is wrong for you to take any pain medication while you are giving birth because he says it is bad for the child
deleted_user
I agree with scurrie. I would seek help hun. That it just not right!

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
