When I had DS1 he was well planned ahead (I had a lot of health issues that had to be addressed first) and when we finally got the all clear to TTC we were over the moon, really excited and when I fell pregnant it was just fantastic.
Now we are thinking about DC and for some reason the same level of excitement and anticipation just isn't there. It seems like the decision to have DC2 is a practical one (completion of family, providing a sibling etc) whereas the decision to have DS was a really big deal to us both.
AIBU to think if the same level of excitement isn't there for DC2 than it was for DS then perhaps it's a sign that we shouldn't have another baby?
I did fall pregnant in February with planned DC2 but then miscarried at about 5/6 weeks and I did wonder if it happened because as extremely happy as I was, I hadn't felt the same level of excitement I had when I'd had my BFP with DS. I know that's stupid logic though
