Hi I've got a 9 month baby girl whom I love with all of my heart for the past few months I've been wanting number 2 but money both me and dh don't work but dh trying with all is might to get a job its just not happening so be stupid to get preg now I got mild pnd after birth but its almost gone now so it would be selfih to risk it with two dc and the risk of dd being left out failed at ebf her so I plan to try ebf dc2. We live I 2 bed flat which is not ideal but even with all they worrys I still want dc2 dh wants to waith til working etc which is fair enough I feel like somethings missing all they worrys will be nowt in 10 yrs time but they are still preventing. The pill being stoped will love other peoples aoptian on this thanks

Don't have another baby if you can't afford it.

I wouldn't have another if you cant afford it. for the sake of your babies tou want to be able to fulfill all their needs... if you cant afford another then it isnt worth it right now :)

Wait- that's all I can say. I wouldn't have another if you can't afford it. It's not the right time for you. Your baby only being 9 months old means there really is no rush to go ahead and have another. We waited for 4 years after having DS1 and I love having a slightly bigger age gap and it meant we were more financially secure by the time DS2 came along. There are no rules saying you have to have more than one child and certainly no perfect age gaps between babies x
