Hi all
I’m currently debating whether or not to have another child (currently have one 16 week old son).
Pros:
It’s another little human to nurture and to love and to watch them grow
Would give my baby boy a sibling to grow up with
I’ve always wanted more than one child
Cons:
My partner isn’t as hands on as id like him to be and I find it exhausting doing the majority of childcare
Childbirth was horrific for me
I’m pretty sure I had/have PND (I cried everyday for the first 10 weeks or so of baby’s life - convinced I was doing a rubbish job at every aspect)
Sleep deprivation is hell
My body (specifically my vagina and boobs) are ruined which makes me feel like crap
I worry about baby all the time - it would be that worry x2
Increased financial pressure
What are your experiences? Is it harder or worth it all in the end? How did you know if/when to go for it?
