we have 19mo DS, were planning on trying for another about 9months ago but my career seems to be going fairly well at the moment (work in theatre so will always be erratic and insecure) so decided to put ttc on hold while I ride the momentum.
Trouble is I really wanted to have a relatively (under 3yrs) small age gap between children, we only intend to have 2, but I'm terrified of all these stories coming out about how much harder it is to have two children, that in most ways it's harder than going from none to one...please give me your invaluable advice and experience!
Because of the nature of my work and the pay, we rely heavily on friends and family to help out, I don't currently have regular childcare as work is so erratic and is sometimes unpaid. DH bless him has said it's totally my choice when we try again, I know he's desperate for another baby though, he's even said he'll go and work as a contractor in a job I know he'd hate in order for me to continue working and being able to afford 2 lots of childcare.
It's all pretty easy now, I'm almost convinced to have DS as only child.....
