hiya - I have been thinking about why my heart wants another child? do I need a reason for it?
ok so if I think logically one child is good for us as a family BUT I feel like something is missing. I just want to be pregnant again and do it all over again even though I have back problems,suffered with PND and everything else...
so there isn't any proper reason why I want to have another child. Is this normal to feel like this? should I have a reason for it? this goes against all of my dreams, easy life, private school for my only, time to spend with her. Am I crazy that I want to go through all this again just for the sake of I just feel broody??? Would I be broody again even if I had a second? my husband reckons I would so just stick with one...also I am 37 and I don't want to wait too long and find that I can't have another anyway? I wish it was a simple decision...

If you keep thinking about a baby and want one you should have one. I always thought I only wanted one then I had a mmc and suddenly realised I did want another one. It's a normal feeling everyone gets broody. But do you have any reason not to have another? Maybe try writing out pros and cons to help you decide.
Best of luck xxx
